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.

Thank you for the reference to the general settings in the first Page FAQ's

Looking forward to the above, and how to use multipliers on the point system.
This modification in user profile removed color background, and pushed the right side blocks until after the Awards are listed. I can live with both of those last 2 inconveniences for the benefit of the overall system.

Thank You
Respectfully
Otter

Im so stupid, the reason people and i have been getting that error was because its asks for username not user id on the request award feature in the admin cp lol..

Also a feature that needs adding is a link in the pm that gives enables you to directly accept and give the award to the member without having to do it manualy....

That has been one thing that people have been requesting, was even talking about that with some of the other admins on a few boards I run and I will be incorporating that feature into the Awards System. Just not sure on how I'll implement it. But, that is on my to-do list.

[Shadawg]

just a link, i think i would know a way.

http://www.etc.com/forum/admincp/award.php?do=awardusers&award_id=26"whatever goes here, username" i dont know the link etc..... just need to grab the information from the pm with award id and there username....

or have a feature in award admin cp where it has all the people who have requested the award....

[CypherSTL]

Would probably be easier if I added a listing in the Admin and ModCP with a list of requested/recommended awards with the ability to go ahead and issue the award, or deny the request

[Shadawg]

Yeh that would be absolutly spot on, i was looking for it because it is a must have feature....

Thanks, hope to see it in a release soon

Can you attach a link to an award? I'd like to include an affiliate code within the image/award so if clicked I get referral credit etc.
