If you go into your admin cp and find your award settings to the left. Go down the award settings page and you will see a box to enter the forum number or a box to enter a thread number. If you want to set it up so that it adds to a thread youve already made then get the thread id number by clicking on the thread and in the URL it will display the thread id. Add that number to the box and and request will add a new post to let you know

Thanks Gamelobby. Worked like a charm.

The Medal Showcase doesn't align all the way to the right when using the modern postbit. The setting for the display is set correctly in YAAS' settings.

Download the new file. Upload the info and replace and rewrite over the old files

[TiKu]

To make version 4.0.5 compatible with vbSSO 1.4.9, I had to change two things:

1) In hook "YAAS in Member Profile - Profile", replace

require_once('./global.php');

with

require_once(DIR . '/global.php');

2) In hook "YAAS - Member List Display", replace

include('awards_memberlist.php');

with

include(DIR . '/awards_memberlist.php');
