No points when posting first reply
 

I am having a problem on my board that you do not get any points when creating a reply for the first time in a thread. When you create a second reply, then you receive points.

So the first time you reply to a thread you do not get any points, but all of your subsequent replies give you points.

I can provide details to reproduce the issue in my board via p.m.

Hi again. Unfortunately I did not get any reply to my post... I have tested this a little bit more and the problem is very inconsistent, but the end result is that sometimes my users do not get any points for posting. I don't think any of my settings are wrong as sometimes a user will receive points in a forum and sometimes the user won't. Also, I am not receiveing any database error notifications, so I don't think it is a database problem either.

Unfortunately I am not very experienced in debugging vBulleting PHP scripts (even though I know some program languages and know how to debug those). This problem is most likely not a general issue within vbPlaza (if it was, there would be other people reporting it), so it must be specific to my site.

Is there maybe anyone who can explain how to debug the relevant php scripts that trigger the points update. I think they are "vbplaza_newpost_complete.php" and/or "vbplaza_newreply_start.php" or maybe other(s) as well. I know how to activate the debugging function in vBulletin but I don't understand how to use it. Most likely I will need to enter some write statements in the scripts to see when they are executed and where they fail.

My forum users are complaining... Anyone can help?

Do u have any of the forums set for points per reply set to 0?

I have some forums where no points are collected per reply. The problem I am experiencing however is on forums that collect 5 points per reply.

I'd need to get access to ur forums admincp, as well as Can Administer Plugins to research this issue further as I'm unable to replicate the situation on www.vbplaza.com

Thanks for taking a look at this. I am sending you the details via pm.

OK, I'll look into this issue. I have updated part of the plugin for the "newpost" recently for v1.5.7

I wonder if the changes I made will fix the issue for u as well.

But I'll check ur PM soon as I finish responding to these posts here.
