I seem to be having a problem when i did the 3 step update for version 4.0.1 to 4.1.3

I corrected and edited the templates and disabled the profile tab as to do so. When i click the awards button on my navbar i get the following:

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/content/12/7725912/html/forums/awards.php on line 47

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare construct_depth_mark() (previously declared in /home/content/12/7725912/html/forums/awards.php:98) in /home/content/12/7725912/html/forums/includes/adminfunctions.php on line 1907

Great plugin. Set up the system to create a thread for every award requested. But why do these threads get marked as "moderated" and how do you remove this?

Please advise, thanks!

Looks good, let me try.

Edit: Tab border seen below (image attached)

How to fix it?

Thanx in advance

If you have the theads to be created in a "privlidged" section of the forum, something that normal users cannot see but moderators might...that is your problem. Since they do not have the privlidges to post in those sections their posts and threads become moderated.

The fix is to grant them posting privlidges but not viewing. I've done this for several things on my site.

Hey thanks!

I've enabled "can post threads" for those usergroups, but still getting the same problem. What do you think I'm overlooking?

Oh its something I overlook myself several times, theres a check box in the forum permissions called Follow Forum Moderation Rules. Check that to yes. That should unmoderate posts.
