MyAwards Updated to Sprite

For the past 20-30 minutes Omniscient and I had HF closed so that we could update the MyAwards plugin. Traditionally each award was its own image file. Now all the awards are grouped into one file (sprite) and displayed using CSS. You shouldn't really notice any difference as this is focused on improving general site responsiveness and SEO.

Some pages are still bugged (buyawards.php) and we are working on correcting those. If you notice any other pages working incorrectly then please post below.

However... before you report any bugs please make sure you have these files cleared from your cache and freshly loaded:

/ Notice for direct links to old award images /
Right now the old award images were deleted while being converted into a sprite sheet in preparation for this switch. This will be changed tomorrow so that the old award image names/files are preserved for legacy purposes (anywhere those award images might be linked).

That's cool. I hovered over yours, they still have descriptions. That's interesting, nice job
Sounds like a good + clean update. Glad to see updates like these.
This is awesome, and smart move!

Yup, made sure to keep all the good functionality that was there already.

So I noticed that you can see people who donated for awards in /myawards.php.
I remember Omni made it private for numerous reasons so don't know if that's intentional.
Great job, you guys!

Keep the updates coming.

This is dope. Xerotic being hired as a developer for HF is one of the best things that have happened to this site. So many frequent updates now.
Update: buyawards.php page should be completed normal now.

That is actually such a smart and efficient way to display awards. Thanks for the update.
Finally. My awards page took FOREVER to load... /s

Good work as per usual. :)
