See https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=906 for fixes that address this and a few other issues.

I'm going to upgrade my forum from vB 3.8 to vB 4.1. I'm unsure if I should upgrade my YAAS first then my forum. Or my forum first and then my YAAS.

I'd like to not lose awards that have already been given.

Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks.

I see 3 files to download. Do I need all 3 of them?

Upgrade YAAS first, the upgrade process should be relatively painless. The vb4 version recommends to be running the most recent 3.8 version.

Will this work for VB 4.1.7? Or should I not even think about it?

Works great on 4.1.7 for me.

Ho do I remove the underscore that shows between each of the award icons? I have people that have several I set up in the signature. In between each one is an undserscore I am trying to eliminate.

Any thoughts?

I there a cap on the number of characters in a reason for giving an award? I am still testing and I am seeing the reason for the awards being cut off. For example it's two sentences and what shows is only part of one. I'm sorry if I missed someone else asking this question in the previous 62 pages. I did a search and didn't see anything.
