If the rose could end up being a counter, if every member had the option to increase (vote) the counter or decrease (un-vote) the counter, this could be used in my forums as I have a weekly caption contest. If each member could vote on a post they like then, by the end of the week you could see who had the highest number of votes for that thread.

This is a great hack but might spawn another one........

I don't think so.

Also as a side note, somebody keeps on visiting award.php, nobody should even know of this page yet i see the person on it in online.php, who is it, why is he there? and how did he get there? lol

No clue. Award.php only has the sql querys for this hack. In next version I'll try to send a person to index.php if someone trys to access it.

just an idea, iam going to add this just might want to make it a bronze, silver and gold award system, might work

[pjdaley]

can you name the award? for example lets say you have a question that needs to be asnwered... who ever asnwers it wins. Can you name the award like, Winner of the Winning Answer Award, or the Winning answer Award... or whatever i want to call it, but then have another award and call it something esle...

Nice hack, THX

[snyx]

what about changing the color of the thread title in forumdisplay as well, or maybe a special icon? you don't know its an award thread until you click into it.

In the changes I said to make in the postbits,
Find:

PHP Code:

$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == '6' 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

can_moderate($forum[forumid], '', $bbuserinfo[userid]) 


I didn't test it.
