Why do I get this error?

Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class. Template name: awards_awardusers_bit in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 3984

In the award settings there is an award automation option but when I click on it its just a blank white screen with the vbul cpanel options on the left.

I checked the run auto and the cpanel did the usual reload and is set to yes, but you are correct, how does the system know which award to gift out at what date , what time and what usergroup!!

Looking forward for updated version for Vb 4.0.8

Cypher, I have a bug report.

The automation system does not check if someone already had the award before the install of the plugin. So my awards based on post count were given again to the ones that had them.

So I had to remove them manually.

Do you mind sharing the information on how you use this automative system? Thanks

That is working as designed.

If you want to use the Automation System to issue awards, then you must remove the award manually from other users.

Awesome awards system. I'm also looking forward to the 4.0.8 update to fix the profile issues. That's really the only thing that I can see not working.

Cheers,
Brad

I am sorry Cypher, I meant that this would be an interesting option to have.

I use your product for a long time, and have lots of awards, so removing them would be hard.

I had to disable the automation product, because although I set it to "no" on the settings, it kept working and giving the awards again.

One doubt: once someone gets an award for number of posts, does it stop giving the same one to them?
