The built in criteria are retroactive BUT the award date isn't it. So if you install the application NOW, and you create a trophy with "member created 1 post" the awarded trophies will have NOW as award date and not the date from the first post... I've had a client who contacted me today, but unfortunately this isn't a bug and I'm not planing to change this.
Also please keep in mind that if e.g. a member has an avatar and you have a trophy "avatar", he'll loose the trophy once he removes the avatar.
To clarify some other changes which were mentioned today:
A trophy WON'T be awarded automatically once the criteria are met. They are awarded by a IPS cronjob and also upgraded automatically when a member logs in.
The reason for this is, that the client who requested this application has a really huge board which is quite active and he requested to have as minimal queries as possible...
I can see that this workflow will cause confusion for some people, so this will be improved in a future release.
