Perhaps with the secondary usergroups it can be done, that is, if promotions can work on secondary groups...... I wouldn't know, haven't had the chance or time to look at the usergroups code much, yet :)

Ive been working extensily with vB3's features, :) you can promote a user to a secondary usergroup :)

Then this hack is not that necessary, I guess.

Though I can see msimplay's problem of having to add 5 (for instance) new usergroups for this. What if you have 5 forums that each require their own level of postcount?

Having it as a forumsetting would still make sense, but it's not TOO much work doing it via usergroups, as I had originally thought :)

anyway its still a hack request i'd like it to happen
i mean they changed quite a few things for vb3 to do with usergroups like the custum user titles
and avatars post count but i really would like to be able to do this without messing about a million times with the usergroups coz my promotions have set up if i added a forum count for say 150 posts i'd have to re-adjust the promotions for each time i have to restrict the postcount for a forum

on my promotions 150 is between the settings for
it would get complicated if i wanted to do it for more forums
and sorry about the 5 thing i just checked it is easier then i had thought but still the hack would be easier once set up

Ok, so they get added into a secondary usergoup each time, they can be apart of 100 secodary usergroups. ;)

pleaaaase i dont wanna :disappointed: lol :p

Well if you dont want to make the hack?

stop being a fart @ faranth if u dont want to make it you dont have to none the less it was a request

I'd like for this to happen too. Doing it through usergroups is possible ofcourse but a hack would be better...

Considering the age of this thread... It's still better to be done via a promotion.

However if you want the hack I'd suggest requesting it in a new thread.
