Hello Kate,

Sorry for late reply to this,
You can disable the Rank-up activity setting from your backend > EasyDiscuss > Setting > Integration > JomSocial > Rank-up activity - NO

I understand I can do that, but that would disable the rankings from showing on the activity stream. It also wouldn't deal with the bug that rankings are being awarded for every post and not for crossing the points threshold for the rank.

I want ranks to be awarded on activity stream, I just don't want them awarded for each and every post. One person received a rank award 3 times for the same rank in a single activity stream page. It is a bug and needs to be dealt with. It didn't do this before the update. Thanks

Hello Kane,

I'm sorry that delayed of this reply,
Thanks for reporting on this, i'm still investigate on this issues, you have to temporary to disable that option first prevent the user publishing every discussion post or reply also showing this stream in your JomSocial, i will getting back to you as soon as possible.

Thanks for the reply Arlex. I will disable it for the time being, but I would like it fixed.

Hello Kane,

I have applied some fixes in your file, this fixes will including the next release of EasyDiscuss version.
JoomlaFolder\components\com_easydiscuss\tables\ranksusers.php
LINE 41

$query	= 'SELECT * FROM `#__discuss_ranks_users` WHERE `user_id` = ' . $db->Quote($byUserId);

Replace with

$query	= 'SELECT * FROM `#__discuss_ranks_users` WHERE `user_id` = ' . $db->Quote($id);
