he means if you have points per character enabled on a website, a user can simply post spam "ghfdegsuthytgfhG" to rake up a million points, then once he posted the topic he can edit it to a real topic to avoid being banned for spam.

Thanks for the info!

Would this hack work for say " I need postings in forums, so I can give entries for a contest or points which can be used as entries into a monthly contest?...or do they have a hack for this?

No one seemed to answer the question of What do I do if users aren't being given points at all? The info is in the postbit, all the settings are correct, but the points aren't being given.

I also need to integrate this with vcash and vbookie

~Someone respond soon plz :)

Curious - is this happening to any users that have come to your board since you installed the hack originally? If so, you are most likely seeing the same issue I am. I have to run an UPDATE query something like - I'm guessing off the top of my head, but I have to do this ever so often or the new users don't get anything.

Installed! Lets see if I have any problems... hopefully I won't! But this is my first installation!

Got iCash integrated with vBookie, but now it doesn't work for regularly increasing points per posts and threads. Can someone help with this?

there really shouldnt be any problems, i have tested this on my test boards, christian what does that query do exactly?

When I installed the hack, all users had money set to 0 (then I did the decimal thing - that's separate), then any new users were set to NULL. So, I had to run the UPDATE so that the new users would change the NULL values to the 0 value (or whatever I chose). Ever so often, I run the update so that all new users (since the last UPDATE) can have "points" added.

doh, i must have the points value set to null in the install file.
