thank you for your wonderful work and your great product

First of all great product. A bit overwhelming, but very nice work.
I am somewhat new to adding a plugin to a 3rd party product, and when adding it, it wants the hook location and I'm not sure which one(s) to select for the Helpful Answers mod as there a few in the drop-down box.
Thank you for a great mod

Seems many are you are already familiar with this mod from earlier versions, so maybe the community can help me understand a bit.
I'm unsure how "activity" percentage is calculated and why one would have 100% activity, what does that mean?
I can't seem to find out where awards are calculated, so if there is an award given, where is the are the determines how this level was achieved. Don't get me wrong, this is a great piece of work, I'm just having a hard time understanding what I'm looking at :)

Hello I use your great mod for long time. I have 100levels and 10 group for promotions. It was much more comfortable for me when promotions were written in txt.
Now I've got some reputation problems and for a while a lot of users gain a lot of experience points so they were promoted to higher groups. Finally I have my user levels realistic and now I found that they're not demoted to the group they have to be :/
I create new promotions in backwards way, but... it don't work as I want to or some of them don't work at all. I was thinking it will work if I make it like this:

EDIT: I found something I have to set "demote promoting" for usergroup display number LOWER than "promote one". Now it works but as you can see it will always work in one direction depending on display number :/ Please take a look at attached screenshot. I am so confused :/

points > X-1 - move from group 10 to 9
points > X-1 - move from group 9 to 8
points > X-1 - move from group 8 to 7
*Where X was points needed to move to higher group

It moved all users from 10 to 9, but for other it didn't work. I found that if I have to lower member from 10th group to 6th this is a problem.

Please explain me how to simulate demote? I want all users of level X to Y to become part of group Z (like it was before).

Best!

Hi Bposner, for awards go to your admin panel sidebar ->Experience -> Manage Awards where you can edit the award you want. Then you should be able to "Fields
Select the fields you want to sum together" I am guessing how it works is the total amount of points collected by the top user will receive that award. I am still pretty new to it but I think thats how it works.

I have a question as well Phalynx, is there any way to give extra points if a certain number of words or characters is being reached per post? Thanks!

Thanks I kinda knew some of this. This software is like going from a Truck to a Luxury car.. lot's of stuff going on and have a hard time trying to figure out what's going on, and still keep my eye on the road lol
Thanks! More explanation from anyone is greatly appreciated!!!

Hello bposner, what version ot vBExperience you've installed? I see that you have deleted your last post but I will answer it anyway.

This screen appear at left side of admicp Experience -> Manage Promotions.

If you want to add points for using helpful answers just go to Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> [Add/Import Product] -> browse and choose Helpful_Answers.xml from vBEperience Plugins folder.
Then you'll have it visible in Options -> Experience: Points. And you can say how many points should be given for "posts that are marked as "Helpful Answer"

The person who have most is 100% . The others are compared to his result and their result is calculated in %. Example: John have 5000 points for last 60 days and he has the most in your forum. If Peter has 1000 points he will have 20% activity.

As perfectweddings told you go to Manage Awards and edit/create new award and check what option it has. Don't forget to make Display Order higher than 1 if you want it to be visible! You seem to understand English so please read.

perfectweddings, i am sure there is no such an option and only Phalynx can tell you if it can be done :)

Best!

Excellent!
using 404 I see so the leader sets the bar (100%) and everyone else is a percentage of the leader? Correct? Nice.
Thanks on the HA solution, I was in the wrong place.
I have one concern, the little points icon (the balls) show up when someone hasn't yet reached 100 points. I may have something screwed up, but it's a learning process, like anything else. Every bit of information is very much appreciated!
