This is weird... My online forum is using the EXACT same itemshop.php file as you do.
The only different thing is that my items are divided into Battle Groups.
And I doubt he will be halted from using the item, as I don't think there's any level check in the battle pages.
This is odd... If this ONLY happens to him and ONLY on your forum, then I might have to label this as "Won't fix".
I *will* try with a fresh install on my localhost as soon as I get home, before giving this one up
Okay, I can verify this bug now.
I will get right on fixing it.
I am also working on something else that will involve having to run an update script.
Some problems with RPG types and the likes.
Aha, for some reason it doesn't halt ONLY if the user is at level 1 with no exp.
So Im gonna add a clause saying that XP must also be above 0. This will not cause any problems as to the level requirement 0, 1 or 2, because 1 post even on the lowest setting == 1 level up.
