I'll need to double check, but in two or three files several <img> tags had double border="0" attributes and there were a couple of opened tags I ran into. I'll need to check again to see what I edited, but I believe it was mostly in files. The glitch with the profile boxes seems to be that they share the same ID name.

Hello Phalynx -

Welcome back.

I want to weigh in on the working on this for pay issue. You said:

I think there are enough people here willing to pay you to continue give this project the time it deserves, and to upgrade it in a way that it can work for both 3.8 and 4.+ I'm not a programmer by any stretch of the imagination, but I do have some 4.0 mods working on my 3.8 install.

I'm not suggesting that you force people to pay, just let those who want to pay you, and people who can't afford it can still access it for free.

Just some food for thought from a big fan of your project. Whatever you decide, thanks for what you've done in the past, and whatever you can do in the future.

I tried this addon and didn't like it, plus the lack of support, so I decided to remove it. The kill_xperience.php works but after doing that, it completely screwed up my board. This addon is garbage! Just removing all the hack's files doesn't completely remove it, I had to also re-upload all my original Vbulletin files in order for errors to go away. I was getting nothing but blank screens when trying to post or reply.

Garbage. Stay away from this hack.

Yes, this mod stays free. There is is no support for older versions. This counts for vBulletin 3.5 and for 3.6 - and this also counts now for 3.8. As I cannot provide updates for all versions the users may have, you will have to live with that.
Also, FREE means that nobody has to pay money to me to use it. It does not count if you hire another coder to install oder customize it or if you upgrade your server because this modifications eats up cpu....

Oh yes, just another stupid basher that has not read the instructions and did unnecessary actions like re-upload vBulletin. Thanks for your show. This modification has been installed 2500 times, it seems to me not to be garbage.

Yeah, that's two different things. I'm still not sure why people are equating money to time, but it just doesn't work that way for most people.

Lost of things are garbage when you don't read the instructions. Superglue, boric acid, microwave popcorn...

Yea I dont think so , I have been using this mod for a long time as many of us have and this is one of the best supported and if not one of the best ones that have been released here on VB.org ....

Looking forward to VB 40 release

Bouncer222 03-11-2010 06:41 PM

Not to be rude.. as I know developers hate this question..

Just do you have any date you anticipate for 4.0 release?

Y am glad you did it first :D

War.Frog 03-12-2010 02:44 AM

Here Phalynx...I'll even save you some typing when you answer the WHEN question for v4.0. Just copy the text below - all you have to change are the XX's. :D

Code:

Version 4.0 will be released March 1X, 2010.
:p

As I said in the closing of my post, I like the mod, and appreciate what it does, and time the developer put into it. Just offering a suggestion to please a wider audience. Clearly you guys don't like the idea, which is fine.

Thanks again for starting this Phalynx, and best of luck with 4.0

If I ever upgrade, perhaps I'll see you again.

So your saying in your world, money equates to extra hours of the day? Seems like it's better in yours.

In any event, I wasn't trying to make a confrontational statement. People keep offering coders money in the hopes that this will somehow section off more time for something that they've already said the don't have time for. I'm only pointing out the futility of that belief.

My users and I have loved this mod. :) Can't wait to add it to our upgraded forums in the near future. Thanks for all the hard work!

Thank you. I was hoping/assuming that was the case. None of our limited interactions have been unpleasant, so it didn't make sense that this one was. Thanks for affirming that, nonetheless.

Much of what I do is free for the sheer enjoyment of doing it. On the other hand, I have two kids to support, so sometimes I have to face the tough decision of moving a project from the "I love my work" column to the "gotta pay the bills" column, or else drop it. I wasn't making any assumptions about the developer (or any developer for that matter). Just putting out an idea for him/her to consider, as I would like to stay on this particular bus without moving my board and it's mods to vb4.

No doubt I'll see you in other areas here, so I'll see you later.

thanks again,
dc

No way :)


Just a short note: Today I installed vB4 and started the work. Till now the progress is going forward. It's just that I have to re-design around 70 templates and make the required code changes.
I expect a release of the first beta in the next 2-3 weeks.

Bouncer222 03-23-2010 10:05 PM

Sweet! Keep It Up!

archet1337 03-23-2010 10:10 PM

Best news I've heard in a long time! Hat off for Phalynx

loovie 03-24-2010 07:35 AM

make me happy already on it.... thanks for good message

RollaJedi 03-24-2010 04:53 PM

man, i really am glad you are putting this on VB 4!! I've been waiting on the 'yet another awards system' mod to put automation to their awards, but it looks like this probably already has this ability?
I'm hoping to put many awards in the postbit. This is possible, right? And adding lots of new awards will be do-able too, right?

Might i suggest an item. Could there possibly be a mystery item you can buy? What i mean is this: say you have this mystery item in your shop. the icon maybe is a box with a ? on the side. Ok. Now, when a person purchases that mystery item, it adds to your inventory a random item from your shop. Perhaps even make it so that certain items have a better chance of getting picked than others.

Thanks!

A request..can you make it compatible with vB 3.8 as well. New version for vB4; so you know you won't continue to work on this version you will just continue on vB4. Thanks for your continued support.

Phalynx 03-26-2010 06:51 AM

Maybe I just don't understand you... This version is already for vB3.8 - A version for vB4 will be solely for vB4.

staticrebelle 03-26-2010 12:27 PM

I've been using vbPlaza for the last few years so never really looked at this mod, but I'm finally deciding to install it on my board :).

Don't know if this has ever been mentioned, but I think it would be great to incorporate "quests" like www.thesixtyone.com does to try and get new users into exploring all the features of the site :). For example, on thesixtyone when you sign up you get little pop-ups in the corner of the window saying "Rate five songs to level up to the next ranking!" Then you can complete other tasks to earn points. Maybe you could include quests like "Vote in 2 polls" or "Add three people as your friend" :).


Cheers!

Phalynx 03-26-2010 01:50 PM

staticrebelle, this is already a feature since vBExperience 3.8.5 and it's called "Achievements".

staticrebelle 03-26-2010 03:04 PM

Oh awesome! Thanks!

No problem, sounds just good.

Thanx

Megatr0n 03-27-2010 07:12 PM

Phalynx, I take 3.8.5 Beta 3 is the final release for the 3.8 series?

I was wondering is it stable?

Any chance you can upgrade it to GOLD (for one final release) once the vB 4 is out?

Phalynx 03-29-2010 05:39 AM

I highly doubt there will be a final version of 3.8.5 - use the stable 3.8.4 instead.
Also I have a Beta 4 of 3.8.4, but this is like the Beta 3 not really stable.

final kaoss 03-29-2010 11:53 AM

You really should make a support site for this mod. I don't understand how or where to add more achievements.

Phalynx 03-29-2010 12:50 PM

If you are using vBExperience 3.8.5, you can find it in AdminCP, Experience, Achievements

final kaoss 03-29-2010 01:09 PM

Ok and what about some kind of global currency "gold" and a banking system, sure the points are nice but having a common currency like gold to buy stuff with seems much more sensible. A bank would help encourage people to save up to.

RollaJedi 03-29-2010 01:44 PM

Perhaps can the points be converted to the credits used in VBCredits for vb4 version?? Thanks!!

Am really REALLy looking forward to this mod!!!

I believe DarkWaltz already has an Experience/Credits modification posted.
