xiphoid can i get the level.php is seem very useful...and i love ur forums its nice..

No sorry.
You can download the one that comes with this hack. Mine is integrated in my forum. Thank you for the compliment.

I am sorry! I didn't realize you meant the level.php file I made which provides a seperate (integrated into the forum) help page.

Ofcourse you can have that :)

### Introduction
????????????????
This add-on will add some help to the level/stats hack. This help will be displayed in a seperate page, but integrated with your forum. Below the levels it will have a link called help ? and when pressed on, it will open the page in a new window. (template driven, so easy to alter through the admin control panel, just like any other template). Screenshots and such are all added in the levelhelp.zip file.


### To Do
?????????
All you have to do is upload one file and add a template. Then modify the postbit template, and you are done. Very easy and takes not more then under a few minutes to install.

Working well for me, simply a great hack! :)

vB version 2.2.5

Cheers!

I think on my board that hunting for similar sounding names would not prove
fruitful at all.
I suppose it all greatly depends on how many users you have as to the
intensity of an opperation like this. My php & SQL knowledge ends at this
level!

I would much rather concentrate on a script that would use the IPs in the
posts table and look for users using the same IP within a certain time
frame, eg 15 mins. This should catch people out when they change login from
their real name to the false name in order to flame someone.
Obviously doing a search like that on the post table would be a
server-destroying style query, so my plan would be to feed it a user name
that was suspicious. It would then crank back through the last 20 posts of
that user, grab the IPs, then see if anyone had used that IP within 15 mins
of that post time.

Does that make sense? Do you think it would work?

Uhm, I am blonde again or something? Because I do not understand why that post has anything to do with this hack?

What the hell! I think VB's gone skitz.
I just tried using that email reply feature and I get two confirmation messages saying my post has been accepted... but neither are the thread that it should be in!

"Yet another Stats/Level Hack" and "freddie's Repair & Optimize Database (vB integration)"
The thread I replied to is https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...9&goto=newpost

haha, that hack is not baked fully yet! Put it back in the oven.

Yeah I noticed, I just chatted to FireFly on IRC about it :) Chen is looking into it.

Only 1 question,

As EXP shows how for u have to go till next level, is this the same has the "amount of posts u posted status"?

Cause my moderators dont have those statusses..

<edit>
Nm that.. installed it :D :D works perfect..

gonna adjust it a bit.. i dont have a rpg forum :S

i have 2 questions:
how would i change the name of the levels?
no matter where i put this, it jacks up my tables. how would i fix that.. i want it under online status, but it messes it up. any help?
