What makes you to believe it's YaAS? Have anything that's displaying, etc that I can look at to see?

Is it possible to (Please see screenshot below):

1. Top align the icon and image for a award?

2. Remove the box around Issue Time and Issue Reason?

3. Align the Description of the award under the Description heading? The actual description appears to start from the left of the Description heading.

Thanks!

The Award Image I do believe is alright aligned to the top, I'll do the same with the icon.

The "Description" is offsetted a few px due to the CSS I do believe. This seems to be CSS within vBulletin itself because every thing I've tried, I couldn't move it.

The next release, I'll add an option for enabling/disabling the border in the Profile Tab Showcase.

When using YAAS on vB 4.0.1 - this formatting issue comes at the bottom of every thread.

BTW: I have a few feature suggestions, Mass Award Giving

-Enter a numerical sequence of IDs at once EX. 3,6,7 (Users with the IDs 3,6, and 7 would receive that award.)
-Enter a numerical range of IDs at once EX. 1-1000 (All users with IDs between and including 1 and 1000 would receive that award)
-Give Awards Based Off Usergroups

FlameGun, are you using the newest download of YaAS?

I do be believe the "glitch" you're speaking of happens when you're using Postbit Style 2. Which has been fixed.

Upgrade to the RC1 Release of YAAS and vBulletin 4.0.1.

[CypherSTL]

Alright, everyone.

RC2 will be available for upload later tonight/tomorrow morning. Have a few more bits of code to clean up with automation. Currently, Postcount and Usergroup automation are possible, I haven't started on length of membership yet as I'm still trying to figure out how I want to go about coding that.

I'm also working on putting together an Automation Guide to help some of the members that want to take advantage of the feature. Automation will also require MySQL 5+.

RC2 also includes a few bug fixes, and some more fixing of Icon/Image spacing on the Awards page.

After RC2, my main focus will be towards back-porting some of the bug fixes and features into the 3.8 branch, then start back up on the 4.0 branch.

Quick question...

If a user on my forums for example has 2 awards, they are shifted over to the left, how do I make them centered?

Thanks!
