Hey all, I have the 3.5.4 with the extended sig limiter. Which allows me to set sig options based off a usergroup level.

(Meaning Our paid subscribers get a bigger sig, and a buyable option to get that even larger)

However... the issue is this, when a user changes, loses, or whatever the usergroup and goes back to one that has "less" of a limit then what they had in the higher up groups. vB doesnt reset and force them to update their avatar or sig.

Was wondering if there is a way to get either a cron job that will force users to update the avatar and sig. Or some way to control users who get into a different usergroup and have the sig/avatar settings reset so they dont "keep" the higher up glory.

(Its like a paid subscriber could get the large avatar and sig, however, when the subscribtion runs out, the forums would have them as a regular user, but it allows them to keep the avatar and sig that they had set in a grandfathered state.) Sure.. if they change it AGAIN the limit will force them.. but I just need a way to counter grandfathering of avatars and sigs on a user.

I know 3.6.0 had more options.. but I like 3.5.4, just moved our large community to it.. it has the stable mods and plugins etc, later on once the mains are moved over to 3.6.0 in a solid fashion, then I can switch again.

But for now. just wondering what I can do. Thanks. =)
