i'm glad the issue of conditionals was brought up here since i'm actually having trouble with it.
i'm working on putting together legion's ideas on his forum as he has described here. and what i at first thought was me not getting the conditional code correct i now think is an issue of promotions.
i found these two sites to help me with the conditional codes

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=131282
along with some other site which users $bbuserinfo which i don't think is listed at all in those two links. and confuses me cause how many ways to use usergroups are there? o_o i would guess this is because, if it's an "additional" group and not primary, the code is diffrent.
either way, i know that out of the 5 diffrent ways to do it, none worked which prompted me to check my promotion settings and i can't figure out what is wrong.
here's what i have as their settings
Quote:
Flash Tier 1 Additional Usergroups Posts 1000 30 333
Flash Tier 2 Additional Usergroups Posts 1000 30 444
Flash Tier 3 Additional Usergroups Posts 1000 30 555

(with 1000 being rep, 30 being days, and 333/444/555 being posts) i'm using posts only as the promotion strategy so everything else should be irrelevent.
i have run the scheduled task to update promotions manually like 3 times and i get no changes whatsoever. nobody is setup automatically for the additional groups. so all the testing i did to find the right conditionals was useless thus far. >.< i might just manually set myself up to get done with testing but now i feel i need to fix this while i'm on it.
would anyone have any idea as to what i'm doing wrong?
