[SideDraft260]

I am at a loss. I've installed, uninstalled, reinstalled, and re-read the instructions more times than I can count. It seems to have no effect whatsoever on my test account. What could I have possibly done wrong?

To install this hack simply download the xml file to your pc and then import it into vbulletin as a product

Done. Uninstalled, then done again. Twice.

then create your 'miserable users' usergroup and set the value of this group

Created the group, didn't work, deleted the group, created a new one, updated the GroupID number in vBOptions>Miserable Users. I'm on my 3rd usergroup now...no change.

and your preferred other settings, in the hacks settings area (vBulletin Oprions > Miserable Users).

Done, repeatedly.

To make a member suffer just edit their profile to add them to the miserable users group (it will work as either the primary group or as a secondary group).

I've tried using the primary, secondary, and the 'banned' groups, but nothing seems to work. I can jump around with my 'test' account as if it were any other member.

suggestions?


Edit: If I change a users primary usergroup to my Miserable Users group, then it changes the amount of stored messages allowed (from 50 to 10). However, there is no other effect...no random server timeouts, no slow down, nothing.

Setting the primary user group to "Registered User" and setting the secondary group to the Miserable Users group has no effect whatsoever, leaving stored messages allowed at 50. "Registered User" group settings DO allow for secondary usergroups.

Edit #2: Also, Plugin System is Active, and this plugin is set to Active with the hook in global_start

Hope this helps someone give me a clue....
