xperience.php keeps timing out;

Fatal error: Maximum execution time .....

Any ideas?

the give away points features is great. my users love it very much

but, any username contains "underscore" cannot receive the given points.

others, seem working great

Are you using already 3.8.4 Beta 2 or still Beta 1?

Fixed in next version.

Beta2 now and it appears to work

vBExperience 3.8.4 BETA 3 has been released. The changes were focused on bugfixing from Beta 2, also there is a great new overview of what is going on on your forum. It's called "Acitivities" and it is showing like your members gain points, promote, do transactions in the shop. Also, the recount process is now applied also to users that don't post by triggering a recount of their points by login.

Download the ZIP from the first post and do an upgrade:
1. Copy ALL (I mean ALL - That is a common error!) files from upload_via_ftp/ to the server.
2. ReImport product_vbexperience384.xml, allow overwrite
3. If you modified any of the vBExperience templates, revert them
4. Run Maintenance Tools/Recount

3.8.4, BETA 3, 31th July 2009
- Activities, showing what is currently happening on your forum (Points, Promotions, Awards, Shop)
- Fixed GAP/Shop Usernames with underscore
- GAP: Some fields (points_user_infractions, points_thread_tnc, points_user_activity) cannot be used for transferring points anymore
- GAP: Log in Profile
- Recount trigger extendet to login and album edit process

I have just installed the 3.8.4 BETA 3. In the admincp , the vbexperience menu on the left has the heading *[xperience_name]* . Is that how its supposed to be, or is it me doing something wrong?

Oops. Ignore me. Works well now. I had to flush my cache. Thanks.

I want to give the members a blog on the forum if they reach a particular level. Is their a way to automatically promote a member to a particular usergroup based on their vbexperience level? I could not work out how to do this.

You will need to edit the level xml files and also enable promotions. Read more about this in the file readme_levels.txt
If you need help with this, just ask here.

Yo Developer!!!

Thank you so much for making the experience bars show in vbBlogs!

Now all I am going to do is hard code a link under the experience bars in the blogs to "Give Points to Friends".

SUGGESTION 1:
Having a link in the post bit to give points to that user would be great. I have been hard coding that since I first installed.

SUGGESTION 2:
The new activities page is awesome. We now need a block developed to pull these stats to our vba cmps homepages.
