Any news on update?

[wolfyman]

the author said in a PM to me that he doesn't care about his reputation here or this mod.

Good luck getting support from him.

Too bad, too - this is one of the few I would have paid for. No way am I going to send any kind of support to someone who makes promises they can't keep and then can't even be polite about it.

If people can't understand that I have a busy schedule, oh well. What more can I say. I worked on the mod, I released the mod. I've released updates on the mod. I'm also working on more updates for it. I can't drop everything I'm doing just to work on a modification for vBulletin. Right now, vB is the last thing on my mind. If people base my reputation on here on what takes up my time in my personal life, then you can stick it someplace the sun don't shine for all I care right now.

If people want to think less of be because I'm not working 24/7 on this mod, and things end up coming up and it doesn't get released when I said I should have been able to, oh well, cry me a river. The updates I'm working on will get completed and will get released on here when they're are completed, and gone through some testing.

Don't like it? Don't use the mod. I also wish people on here would go back to first grade and learn how to READ and stop asking the same questions over and over again and insisting on flooding my PM box with nothing but feature requests when I've already stated BUG FIXES ONLY.

So to any of those who are unhappy with the support, and the fact that I have other things going on right now and can't work solely on this mod, then delete it, and don't use it. Simple as that.

Now, for those of you who are being patient, unlike others, I do appriciate the feedback on the mod, both positive and negative. When I have some spare time, I will work on this mod. It is still supported, I'm not going to give up on this mod.

I'm happy with the mod and appreciate your efforts.

Thank you!!!

Hey there, CypherSTL.

I know you're looking for bug fixes only at the moment. Not sure whether this comes under that, but I thought I'd give the suggestion anyway.

Is there anyway I could left align the awards with the rest of the text in the postbit? I am using Style 2, which as you know doesn't have a border. I just wanted to make them all align towards the left (red line)...thought it would give a neater look. (Please see screenshot below).

What sort of edit would I have to make, just in case you wouldn't like to make this change in the actual mod?

Thanks.

can i remove point below number of awards, in awards showcase??? how?

[FlameGun]

Please add an option to mass give awards.

Can someone tell me where the category titles show up? In the example below the title is "Post Count" but it only shows the description on the awards page (picture 2).

Great mod, and great support!

I'll 2nd and 3rd the ideas for automation and mass awards by usergroup or userid.

I also saw that someone mentioned stacking awards; that could be very helpful for time-based awards. Intead of awarding one 10-point award for x number of posts and one 20-point award for y number of posts, you could just have a single 10-point award that gets awarded repeatedly and stacks so it doesn't take up the whole postbit.

My one other request for the future would be a way to integrate a user's total points into other areas of vBulletin, namely Ranks & Titles. Compared to some other forums I've used, I'm disappointed with the lack of flexibility in vBulletin's Ranks system. Being able to make a user's Rank based (in whole or in part) on his total award points would be fantastic!

Thanks again for all your hard work!
