I am having an issue with negative points happening.. The way it occurs, I believe is this...

User A have 15000 points.. He deposits it into the bank.. He does NOT refresh the points by going to the main bank page as instructed.. (now.. This has always been annoying to me that the user has to do this anyway but it seemed harmless)

Well.. User A to everyone shows he has 15000 in his pocket still.. Well.. User B steals from A of the amount 15000.. And succeeds..

User A returns later and tries to buy something, donate.. Whatever.. Finally ends up going to the bank and refreshing the points.. Bam.. He has -15000 in his pocket and 15000 in the bank... WTF?? I am almost sure this is what is happening.. Has the fix been addressed to the refresh issue or should I just disable the thief action now?? Some users just dont get it and will not refresh until they have to.. And this has happened twice now..

Any suggestions?

Other than that.. kudos to the author on this hack.. Its still an A+ to me..
