Thanks. Your recommendation fixed the issue of showing the awards (and ranks) to the right of the user avatar to them now being underneath the user avatar.

Installed with no problems but when i click the awards tab i get the following error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare construct_depth_mark() (previously declared in /awards.php:98) in /includes/adminfunctions.php on line 1907

Any ideas

Got it to work with that last post. Now my style is only half loaded. Any ideas there

Not sure if this is still under development but there's a bug: users with > or < in their names aren't recognized when you try to add an award to them.

You have to use &gt; or &lt; in place of the symbols. For example, Luck&gt;Skill instead of Luck>Skill.

I just tested and this error isn't reproduced in normal vB ACP functions.

I have also noticed that other special characters in the user name causes it not to find them. I have always just used the User ID for the person in those cases. A pretty simple solution.

If anyone feels like playing around with this Mod, I think a setting to start a new thread when you approve a user for an award.

Something very similar to the thread that can be started when a user requests an award. I want the rest of my community to know a user got an award and a thread would be perfect.

Anyone what to give it a shot?

Happy to see you here again
Welcome back

[CypherSTL]

Over the next few days I'll be going through and compiling a list of the bugs that have been posted here (that stand out at me of course) and adding them to the bug tracker.

If you have any bugs, please send an email to yaas-bugs@kd0igo.com with the bug details, and please specify that the bug is for vB4. You may view all the listed bugs at http://projects.kd0igo.com/projects/yaas

Keep in mind, I also support the VB 3.8 version of the mod as well, so bugs listed will not all be for the same version.
