As i got to use this mod I think that it is a very awesome idea... I love the easy to use function of it. i have one issue I was hoping you guys could shine some light on. I have created badges for my developers and also other awards for the amount of projects submitted, also awards for the number of post the members would tally up. Because i would give the award at different times and I'm using the award mode #3 they all get mixed in together looks pretty bad. How do i keep them grouped together even though I might give the same member different awards at different times?

The awards are sorted per there sort order, if you want to sort via ascending order (from 1 - 100 so to say) the award you want first you would need to give the sort number of 1 and the last of 100 and all in between will go accordingly. The sort order is for the whole of the awards system, not just per category, say you have 4 categories you will need to put your categories in the order as well, like most important ones in the first category and so forth with your lest awards in your last category. I hope this answers your question.

Here is my sort order:



Here is the postbit render:

[Xanlamin]

Looks like your sort order in the settings is going in DESC order. Which if it is then the display is correct.

It was actually "Issue Time - Newest First". I will changer to the Asc and see if this works out better for me. Thank you for your help.

How is this done?

Yes, that I do believe is a bug in vB 4.0. A few other users in other forums, and vB.com have posted on that.

How about you go back and find out exactly what I was referring to on what wasn't working.

As for people not being able to request/recommend awards. It's working on my development site and as well as my live 4.0 site. Make sure you go through the usergroup permissions, etc and make sure everything is set properly.
