The reason that goes with your award is:

Blueball, you also have access through your admin control panel. I don't think we added the award link in the Moderator panel to any of the Admins. It was just for the Section Heads who don't have the administrator panel. You may find there is a bit more functionality through the admin panel?

It's in the phrase manager; Standard Phrase: award_pm (id: 92241)

However, you have to be aware of the syntax and variables so if you want to come up with some text I can change it for you.

I think you'll have to work on your importance. :norty:
Oh, and don't sit on that chair, it's mine.

Benny · January 31, 2009, 10:45:58 PM

I'll have you know I have no trouble with my 'wood' thank you very much.

Oh God - is there nowhere safe from him?

welcome Mr Dyson.

Smilo will sort you out with permissions. You need moderator access to do the awards. However we do actually need to add the awards to the system first. Are they done? I thought Zoots was going to amend them?? Either way, give me a shout when they're ready and I'll upload them so you can dish 'em out.

Zoot has done the badges

Ok uploaded and Gold badge awarded to Benny boy.

Someone else has obviously done the permissions if you can see this. Can you see the mod thingy very bottom right of the screen?

I can see the mod, but someone needs to change my profile to allow the award piece. Bottom left of my profile I think. I can see the option but can't save any changes I make.

Need to change my email too.....should be james.dyson@uk.clara.net

He needs mod access to any one forum. Not the groups which are currently unused and there is also a flag at the bottom of the User Profile page in the Admin CP (Invisible to anyone other than admins) called Award System Manager. This needs to be Yes.

This was done to stop all moderators accessing the system as it is only for section heads.
