Hi Squidsk, thanks =)

And yes this mod works with vb 4.2.1. The only thing it doesn't do is make use of the new navigation manager that came with vb 4.2

Can you update the mod so it is using the new navigation manager of vb 4.2? Vb 4.x would be very new for me when i upgrade so i would be lost and wouldn't know from where to start.

For me i have thousands of anime awards like these http://www.nihonomaru.com/awards, so i would really love to see pagination finally integrated, it never happened on vb 3.7.x. I really hope it is there for the vb 4.x version. Would you consider implementing it for the upcoming update?

I have another question, on mike's mod i see one of the admin tabs you can view the awards requests via admincp, do you have this? See where it says "Rank Requests" https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...5&d=1309219379

It is very easy to do there are plenty of guides available to walk someone through it. I am planning to eventually add that to the mod but can't say when it will happen.

I am not going to implement pagination of awards at this time.

Yes, as I mentioned before that mod is a copy of this one with various internal stuff renamed. All features of that mod exist in this mod and any features added since that one was last updated are present in this mod but not that one.

Works just fine, the users either does not have a signature or has chosen not to display it, either of which will prevent awards from showing in the signature section.

Been using this mod for a long time now and love it

There is one thing i would like some help with and thats the number of awards displayed currently five are displayed on a line and i would like each line of awards to display only four.
So if someone has 8 awards they would display in two lines of 4 instead of 5 on the top and 3underneath.

thanks for your help in advance

There's really no easy way to code that since there are so many factors that will affect how many awards are on each line, such as the width of the postbit and the size of the awards icons.

What is the easiest way to center the awards under the signature? I am going for a block look for the awards under the signature. Similar to the ribbons on a soldiers uniform.

There is one feature that is needed, i hope it gets implemented. For sites which has many awards per category, we'd need to have the categories displayed in a drop down menu.

Having a very long 1 page with all categories and awards is really really bad. It would be nice to display awards per category. Visually too it is more organized and better.
