Would this be a simple upgrade from HacNho's YAAS product?

I would say no but leaving that up to the actual coder to reveal... only because he said there were numerous changes even from 3.5 to 3.7......

It is by a different coder, not Hancho yet based off of his work so I'm not 100%

how to change the location of the awards in post bit to center ? And how to remove the awards and other design tag in post bit just displaying the award thumbnail alone

Installed, thanks. anyone know where i can get some more medals? i checked the misc graphics section but i could not find any. Also is there a link to view the rewards as a whole and which user has which award? i have seen other site that have this feature. there is a lnk in the navbar that takes you to a page that lists the awards and who has received them

If you use the old YAAS before this one and want to keep your database tables you need to back them up and then restore them after the upgrade -

This was a stumbling block for me also and then I finally bit the bullet and did it -

I have access to my SQL databases via my hosting account with godaddy ...

I went into the admin tool and backed up my 3 databases ... saved them to my desktop and then upgraded the system and took out my template edits and installed the new 4.0 system and then restored my databases over writing the new ones.

My awards given out were still there and who I gave them to ..

I also asked a DBA I know for some help ..

Ok... it's those 2 steps that I'm stuck on - I have full access, I just don't generally mess around in phpmyadmin, so I need a little more intrusction on the backing up and restoring of the DB's.... I have given out 500+ awards over the past couple of years, and it would mean a shitload of work to add them back manually if I mess something up...
