Thank you that worked well. I still have a couple of issues that can?t be terribly hard to alter I just am not sure where to start.

You can see (example 1) shows how it looks currently after I changed the setting on the admin panel. You can see this looks awful. Since the style has a fixed width the awards shrink the visible window space of the post.

(Example 2) is how I would like it to look.

I have three categories for awards. Military, Site and Game. I have the display order set as follows; (military 1), (site 2), (game 3). I would like to see the awards set up similar in order of precedence.

As you can see in (example 1) there is a definite space between the ribbons. How do I go about taking that space out. I am trying to go for the look as a military rack similar to this

Is there any way to tie multiple of the same medals into a cluster similar to the posted image?


Thank you for any help you are able to lend.

I'd like to make it so the tooltip for the postbit and member pages for an award use the "issue reason" and not the name of the award.

The reason is, we have trophies that we want to reuse the images for and use the issue reason to display what they were awarded for.

I know I can just duplicate the image in the awards section and I might do that, but I think displaying the issue reason there would be cooler.

When I try to request a medal i am getting this message

you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

I cant see where my privelages options are messed up. Both reg members and admin get this error.

Thanks

Permissions set in the usergroups?

[deathdlr]

hmmmm.... i have found the only usergroup that is exempt is the unregistered usergroup. so adding. is the mod assigned to default to usergroup 1?

[Xanlamin]

I believe all groups are default not allowed.

Would be nice if the threads created also included the name of the award for obvious reasons.
Let me know if you don't have any idea how to accomplish this, and I'll resume trying to on my own.

Thanks.

PHP Code:

$posttitle = construct_phrase($vbphrase['award_request_post_title'], "$award_request_recipient_name"); 


I've tried the below code, and it's not doing the trick for me.

PHP Code:

$posttitle = construct_phrase($vbphrase['award_request_post_title'], "$award_name"); 


I've resorted to quoting myself. Mainly to show how many times I've posted and you fail to "support", while completely ignoring my inquiries. (note these posts including this one have been made weeks apart. more than reasonable imo) I've been cordial, and polite. However my patience are thinning.

And the authors wallet isn't getting any fatter from supporting this mod for free. While I DO understand your frustration as I've had support issues with mods in the past myself, you have to remember that you're getting this for free and you are owed nothing.

I am sorry Brakkish I did not answer you right away. We do not have the answers right when everyone wants them, when someone would like to have something done first we have to see if it is even possible, this means we go look at the code and try it and test it, then if it is possible we tell you how to do it or release another update. We have not done the recode on this yet so the code is still sloppy from the original author.

BIG feature request:

Could you make an option to disable ability to give users multiple numbers of the same medal? Such that when you try to give the user the medal, it will reply with the name that already has what medal upon submitting the medal to user.

I'm pretty sure this is not hard?
