Is there a hack to automatically upgrade
 

Is there a hack available that will automatically place a user into a usergroup of my choice based on their post counts?

For example, I have "registered" users, as soon as they register, but say after 30 posts they will automatically become a member by status & usergroup called member which will then give them permision to use the members forums, which is only accesable to the usergroup "member"

hmm, search through the request forum a bit.
i remember posting the needed code several times there :)

This is built into vB3, too.

When will VB3 become available to download?

no dateline is set right now.
if you're lucky the public beta can start next month, but without luck it can also take some more time...

ok thanks for the swift reply
