Correct. If the user were to find out what was going on they could easily work around it. So don't ever tell anyone. But there's no reason they should find out just because you added them to the MU group.

Do you mean, they could keep there promotion group and just assign them to an additional group? Wouldn't the know if they were assigned to another group?

Perhaps, if you had some system in place that told them, but not by default. Yes, as stated in the instructions this works simply by adding them to the MU group as a secondary, no need to move them there completely.

Because there is no reason to. Therefore Im not going to spend time changing a system that works as intended.

No one is going to know unless (a) You tell them, or (b) they know about this mod and guess (and then they still wont actually know unless you tell them)

I've a trouble with the users in the miserable usergroup, when they try to read a topic they got:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at [path]/includes/class_bootstrap.php(93) : eval()'d code:23) in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 3742

Then you have something else installed that is clashing.

that are all my plugin:

• Auto HTML Emails
• Automatic Tagger From Content and Title (DISABLED!)
• Extended reputation display
• iTrader
• Make Prefixes Clickable to Filter Forumdisplay
• MARCO1 Advanced Quick Reply And Edit With Smilies
• MARCO1 Quick Admin Tools
• Miserable Users (Actualy disabled for troubles)
• Multiple Login Detector
• Separate Sticky and Normal Threads
• Sevenskins HeaderAvatar
• Usergroup Color Bar
• vBulletin Blog
• vBulletin CMS
• VSa - Check If Already Posted
• VSa - Login To User Account

Clearly you misunderstood. He didn't ask for a list. You need to disable or uninstall all your add-ons then re-enable them one by one to see which one may be conflicting.

I have no idea which of those may cause an issue, you need to do as suggested above.

oh! ok now I check, but it's strange...

If you read back a ways you'll see it can be difficult to test this mod. Or at least not as easy as it would seem. I know in one of my posts I had figured it out and posted how.

Whats difficult ? Its very easy to test it.

Arg. Terribly sorry! I was thinking of the Multiple login detector. So many mods they sometimes blur together.

I'll test it tomorrow because my server goes offline -.-

I get lots of database error message reporting back to me, with the nick of the "miserable user" ive set? is this a real error, or just one that they see from the server busy setting?

This does not generate database errors, so they must be real.

Thanks Paul, only got them when I enabled this and added a user. Not sure what it could be then, but i was getting loads of error emails, mostly containing different results. I've disabled for now, and the errors have stopped.

Will have a closer look when i get some more time, pity though, i could have found a use for this :)

Most likely they are mysql gone away errors, because your server has a very low mysql timeout value - meaning it is lower than the delay setting you have set in the mod.

I'm getting the same error but the only plugin I have installed that RedFoxy has other than the stock blog and CMS is the multiple login detector. So I disabled it and the error remains. I then went through the other pulgins that I have and disabling all of those didn't help. I changed the timeout options to 1 and 2 seconds for min and max but that didn't help either.

I also have two other strange issues.

(1) When miserable users get the busy server message other than that message itself the rest of the site is completely blank. There are no words in the tabs, and the login box appears again as if the user isn't logged in. When on the CMS section everything appears normally but when on the forum pages that's when the words disappear.

(2) Instead of a blank page they get a blank page that says "Error - Please try again"

Any advice? I know you said it is working fine on your site but perhaps something I wrote would trigger an idea for me to try?

Thanks,

Mike

The blank page option does actually put out the message "Error - Please try again", thats by design, the rest of the page is blank. Currently that message is fixed, but it will be optional in the next release.

The server busy message problem is due to the way it currently calls that standard message. vB4 completely changed the way the busy message works and when I ported this, that seemed the best way - however I have since re-designed that way this generates the message, and it should be ok in the next release.

This is a great mod. It is very useful when you don''t wantt o ban right away the troublesome users but wnat to have a little fun first :D

I have an error whem the user want logout. show that:

Archivo:/vhosts/web.com/httpdocs/foro/includes/class_bootstrap.php(93) : eval()'d code
Línea: 23

can i fixed that of someway? Thank's

No, it cant be fixed, as it does not happen for me. I cannot explain or fix something I cannot replicate.

Installed and working on my board.

vb 4.0.1

As per post #63, since nothing I try causes this message, there is nothing I can do unless someone gives me admin access to their server so see what the cause is.

Ok, of course, not a problem, i unistall it for the moment, not is very important for me, i can live whithout it ha ha ha.

Hi Paul M,

I've got this installed and also get the same eval()'d error that some other people are getting. I tried disabling all my plugins (including CMS and Blog) with the intent of re-enabling individually, but the problem still exists with all plugins disabled.

If you'd like access to take a look at the issue in my environment, please let me know through PM and I'll send you details.

P.s.... loved this mod in previous version! :)

how would i use it for vb3.8?

vBulletin Message

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /var/www/xxx/forum/includes/class_bootstrap.php(93) : eval()'d code
Line: 23

This is a weird problem caused by some server set-ups - they seem to be sending extra headers as part of the delay code. I have no idea why they do this.

The only answer appears to be to change the way the delay works slightly, which I have done in 4.0.6.

thanks for the prompt response
will install the update :-)

edit

How do I update the Mod?

edit

uninstall and import new xml
and ACP->Options

Paul, is there any way we can check if a forums is using this?

Nope.

Excellent mod! I am running a local forum (where people physically get together) and this will be an excellent addition to deal with a few people.

tagged for now. It may be something I have to use at a later date.

Thanks for this mod. One of my users is being subjected to miserable mode at the moment for habitually treating my forum as a one-way street where he sucks the information in but contributes nothing of any worth to others. It's great to have the facility to 'punish' people like him without having to ban them. The only shame is that I'll never see his face when he finally realises that he's the only one having problems accessing my forum :)

I do not know why it is not working for me, it was working with older version.

Expecting some feed back and help on that.

thanks
help me so much

Fixed one of my PITA.
This is perfect for the ****** I want to stir up. Thank you.

Hi Paul M.
First I have to say thank you for all your mods. They are very useful.

I have a question about this mod.

Will this use lots of server resource?

During peak hour my site is very slow so I want to use this script to redirect the unregistered users to a for thread and tell them to register or come back later when the low is down.

Would this plugin help to solve my site's speed during peak hour?
