Oh, okay! Thanks for clearing me up on that. Successfully did so.

Can you help me someow with the query thing whenever you have time? It's okay if you don't, it's nearly Christmas and I'm sure you have things to do.

Hey, I followed the instructions to make the default 0, and it worked. I was thinking, if I just pug in 15000 it'll work the same. Can you tell me how to make everyone's 15,000 by default?

Just like you said,... make the default in mysql.

PS. Take a look at the vb3 beta which (with a little figuring out) shoudl give you the ability to give users points right from the postbit. -- very handy ;)

I did so, but, it doesn't seem to work. Here are my settings for the userfield.

Field - Field 14
Type - INT
Legnth/Values - 250
Attributes -
Null - not null
Default - 15000

Yet, everyone's points still remain 0. Any idea on why?

Off hand,

1. change the length / values to 1500.

2. check into storing it as large int, not sure what its called but you shoudl see it in phpmyadmin.

When I try to change the length value to 1500, it's says that the length value is not to be bigger than 255.

I changed the "type" to BIGINT, yet there were no side effects.

so everthign is working okay now?

Well, everything with the hack is working great. :)

But, I can't seem to make it by default 15,000, even after following your instructions.

Not sure about this, but I think I know the answer to your question. The reason that people don't have 15k yet is because they already have accounts. Any new members registered will receive 15k as their defaults.

I just created a new account (the boards are closed), so I don' t think that's the problem.
