I'd already tried that, but gave it another go. The code still doesn't pop up.

I may just be unlucky, and not able to use this feature of the plugin for whatever reason...

I'm pretty sure the problem is with your awards list, for whatever reason.

Can you tell me how many awards you have?

Awards: 358 (272 awards + 86 N/A)

Awards x2: 318 (192 awards + 126 N/A)

So 676 in total.

OK, thanks.

Do you use 'The Old Way' to list your awards, or do you list tem in the newer area?

Newer. 

OK.. Can you please install this plugin and run it.

As the main Admin, you should get a new 'Get Awards List' link appear in the forum menu on the Home page. Click that and the plugin will look to see if there are any obvious errors in your awards list, and if it finds any, it will list them by number.

If it finds nothing, it will first list your award URLs, and then your award titles. Could you please copy/paste both these lists into a private message for me to have a look at. Hopefully we should get to the bottom of the problem, one way or another.

Version 3.0.9 is now available in the library.

Fixed an issue that stopped the re-ordering gunction from working correctly.

Why it uses 1 super key? Can you make it free please?

It needs a Super Key so that your members can see each others awards, if a normal key was used you would only be able to see your own.

BUT, every PB forum comes with 2 free Super Keys, you can currently purchase an additional Super Key for $4, but, with the up-coming V6 key storage will no longer be such a restriction.

Questions about this plugin.....

Why is it that when I add an award, it says that I only have 10 of those awards to hand out?
Is there any way to change that?

Would I just have to add that award again if I want to give out more than 10?

In the 'Awards Settings' tab in the plugin options, you will find a 'Multiple Awards' option, you can change the amount awards available there.. There is also an option to stack them, that is a single award image with a message saying how many, or you can choose to display each award separately.

Todge Thanks a bunch for you help. The first option fixed the problem.

Todge Is there any way to get the awards to show up underneath their avatar? Or will they only show up when someone views their profile?

Edit:  You can cancel that.  I just figured it out.  Sorry.

Good to hear you figured it out.

Todge  You know where you advised,

"Protect Award

Protected awards can only be given/taken by staff members. Options for this are in the next section.



DO NOT RE-ORDER YOUR AWARDS, OR REMOVE ANY FROM THE LIST AFTER THE PLUGIN HAS BEEN ENABLED!!

DOING SO WILL MEAN THAT SOME OF YOUR MEMBERS MAY END UP WITH THE WRONG AWARDS.

If you wish to remove an award from the list, replace the URL with N/A and leave the other fields blank."

What do I need to do if I removed awards from the system (prior to reading this, of course)?
Now, you know that all my badges are messed up, and I have only myself to blame.  lol! 
How painful is this going to be to fix?  Should I just start over?  I'm not very techy and am wondering what is the best way to proceed?

Thanks for any help!

If you can remember which awards you removed, you can simply insert 'N/A' into the awards list.. If you are using 'The Old Way', you can simply add a line in the necessary places.. If you are using 'Your Awards' tab, you will need to add extra 'N/A' awards and then drag them up into position..

If that it too much trouble, or you cannot remember where the awards were removed from, you are restricted to either correcting you members awards by removing the erroneous awards and and re-awarding the correct ones, or simply resetting the awards key and starting from scratch.

Sorry.
