If I remember correctly the cron is set by default to run every 24 hours, you will need to run it manually to get it sooner

Edit the cron. It's located in your scheduled task manager, called yaasautomation.

You sir rock.

Ok I have another question, is there a way to give an award to users who had active accounts from say april 1st, 2010 through may 1st, 2010?

[Xanlamin]

Membership term is one of the options, but not for a time frame between dates.

In Award Page (url:/award.php), when i click in any Request Award (url:/request_award.php?award_id=<id>), i got an error (attachfile)
