Thanks Abe, installed on 3.5.1 just fine. even working with another awards hack (for users not threads). I can award and remove with no problems so far.

maybe some nice features to add/consider would be ability to define award categories, upload post award images, maybe a forum which all awarded posts get copied to or a page that just list them all (besides the search function). if you add more award categories maybe a page like that could be sorted to show awards by their category.

also maybe an option to award a thread. this could add an award thread icon to the thread list/view page which would also be a nice distinction.

@For You, here's an award user hack that is very well done and integrated into the admincp:

a combination of these hacks would be very nice.

I've been having some users complain of random subscriptions to threads around the site. Post Award and the Advanced Warning System are the only two hacks I have (as I sit here and think about it) that play with showthread.php, which is the file Steve at vb.org suggested would be the area of concern.

Can anyone think of any reason Post Awards, under any circumstances, might be causing such a problem in limited cases? Just trying to narrow down my field of search, and hopefully remedy the problem.

Nope. Cant think of a way.

Thanks a lot abe, your hacks are everytime an improvement for my forum.

[cyberhypnotic]

I have a moderator that was looking to give out an award for special and/or unique posts made by members. I wanted to give him something that ONLY he could use and not another moderator.

With the use of this hack, plus the creation of a moderator usergroup for him, which will look like the other moderator usergroups, he now will have his special stamp of approval for the forum.

Thanks a bunch!

Should be possible.
