Arcade pass not expiring
 

Just noticed my arcade pass hasn't expired even though it is 8 days old and was set to expire after 7 days

Over 9 days now and still not expired. Anyone else having this problem?

If I disable it will the user's who already have it lose theirs?

Does it still show up in your User History?

Arcade games are still showing as free and points are not being deducted.

If I go to the store option; below 'buy arcade pass' I still have the option to 'remove'

If I go to the item history it shows who has bought one, the date and time.

However, it isn't in my user history.

There is nothing in my admincp user history either. Although it does show on members with still valid passes.

If its not in ur User History then it thinks that it has already expired.

I'll try and replicate this problem on vbPlaza.com

Cool, thanks.

Incidentally it was set to "can change always" by default ... would this be correct?

If it was set to that when u originally bought it, u will be able to change it indefinitely and it will not expire. That's how the change always fields work. It saves the change always items per user.

The problem exists if u change an item to Can Change Always later on, it would have to go through all of the users and check for any new items that expire and add it, which is a time consuming issue.

I can't remember changing this to on and have no idea why I did ... hmmmm

Anyway, I turned off "can change always" ... How would I reset this on the users who have already bought it?

U have to do a manual query for now to set the options.

Something like:
I dont have time to add a new feature to clear these flags individually in time for v1.5.4, but perhaps I will do this feature for v1.5.5

That's cool. I'll do that when the last purchase should expire.

Thanks :)

What happens if you just remove the "always expire" ID number from their profile settings?

U could do that too, but u'd have to do it on an individual basis, i.e. subtract 128 from their "Other Flags".

yeah lots of work, but less likely to piss people off.

Thanks :)

I guess so, lol

Perhaps I'll make a "Super User Editor" so it can edit the individual flags when you use the option say from vbPlaza -> User Editor for v1.5.5.

I've just had the same problem again.

The arcade pass has expired. The arcade message has gone from the information box but games are still showing as free.

I've noticed the same thing on vbplaza.com ... Games are listed as free there even though I haven't got a pass anymore

I've changed the Arcade Pass expiring system in 1.5.5, so hopefully this will fix the issue.
