Thanks for the reply
The id is automatic:

The user ID is not automatic, you do not have a version of the awards system where anything is automatic, please check your permissions on the account that is trying to request the award.

I have installed this mod on 4.0.2, and am most grateful for this program. Have read each and every post, and see some posts are a bit non respectful. hmm.
My question is this before I begin to work in ernest on this modification.
Is the creator still involved and supporting this modification? I see Xanlamin is offering a great deal of assitance...has he taken over.
Do I have reason to worry that this mod will be left parentless and will it become likely we have to disable and take back awards system in the future.

Just have seen the posts regarding developer's current involvement.

With appreciation and Respect.
Downloaded market installed, and nominated for MOTM.

If you request (not recommend) an award, there is no user field, it is an automatic request for an award to yourself. Only in "recommend" page you specify username. I have the same problem.

Cypher is my brother and with spring on it's way and here now, work for us has picked up. This has been stated before. This mod is supported and another version is in the works.

I am unable to reproduce this error. Make sure you are running the latest version of the mod and the latest version of vBulletin.

There are no template edits you need to do to show in the postbit. Edit your settings in the mod. As for it pulling your ID on request of course you do not need to tell it your ID, it already knows it since requesting an award is for yourself. and as above, unable to reproduce this error, make sure you are running the latest version of the mod and latest version of vBulletin.

I am still supporting the mod. I've made a few posts before stating that I am working on a few of the pesky bugs and working on automation. I do have other projects so I cannot solely work this mod alone. Paid work comes first.

[Shadawg]

members cannot request an award, it comes up with an error. usergroup permissions are all correct.

If you would like to test this out on my site, go to www.revolutionofgaming.net and you will see for yourself

[Xanlamin]

Then you must have another mod that is interfering or an botched install of the awards system, Requesting and Recommending works as designed on 4.0.2.

Start to disable your other mods one by one to see if the error goes away, if not then 100% uninstall the awards mod and do a clean install of it and see what that does.

Have Installed and am getting text:

-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: awards_awardusers_bit -->

This is showing before the listing of members who have been awarded each award, and I am assuming this should probably not supposed to show.

Is there a way I can hide this?

Thank You So Much.
