DEMO: http://www.hackforums.net/myawards.php

This plugin adds the award to the postbit (classic and horizontal). On the profile page you will see a row for the Awards and display the amount and a link to the details page. The awards page can also be directly linked to if you want to add a spot in your header. It's myawards.php of course.

Any suggestions or bugs found please post at Mybb Central.

==========
My Awards 2.0
==========
New features:
-Plugin now only uses 1 query when opening a thread. Old version used 1 query PER every post with an award. Massive query reduction.
-Plugin now uses cache where applicable to save resources.
-Plugin displays "Latest X Awards Granted" in stats.php page. This has a setting in AdminCP to limit how many awards are shown.
-Minor bug fixed in ROOT/myawards.php where layout break when multiple GET parameters are passed. (non-important)


==================
UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS
==================
MyAwards 2.0

These instructions are for if you are upgrading from My Awards 1.x to My Awards 2.x
-Overwrite old files with new My Awards 2.x files.
-Deactivate "My Awards" in plugin manager.

If upgrading from 2.0, just overwrite old files with new files. No need to deactivate.
If upgrading from 1.x, use instructions for MyAwards 2.0 upgrade.

------------
Fixed uid limitation bug. Now UID for granted awards can have 8 characters (99,999,999 being highest possible UID).

Now optional PM is sent when granting an award.

Hopefully next version will have the Modcp for giving moderators ability to give awards from modcp.

Screenshots can be seen in attachments. More screenshots are included in the 'extras' folder in the download.
