Fully integrated with vBulletin and easily integrated with third party scripts:
Many hacks allow you to specify a points system by entering the table and column for the points data. Use TABLE: user COLUMN: credits when integrating vBCredits with such hacks (note: you may need to include your table prefix with some hacks)! If you are unsure about integration - ask me!

Why is this version not the gold version yet?
vBCredits 1.4rc1 went through a long bugtesting process at the official site, and rc2 is largely bug free in its entirety. However, *it is missing most of the admin help and post/thread deletion actions are temporarily removed while I figure out how to fix them.

Footnotes:
Thank you for using vBCredits, I would be happy to hear your feedback and correct anything that comes up. For more tailored support, please indicate you have installed this hack, and if you like it you can nominate this for MOTM. Use of this free hack requires that you retain the copyright line at the bottom of the forum (PM me otherwise). If you do not agree with this, please do not use vBCredits - thank you for your understanding and support!

technically, vB3.7 users should be able to use the same one, but currently testing for sure!

Hey there! I've got this mod installed.

I was wondering if there was a way to show the total amount of credits in a usergroup?

For example if I wanted to create a competition between Usergroup A and Usergroup B to see which group could earn the most amount of credits, would I be able to do this?

[JohnT]

How can I edit how many points are given for a new post, new thread, etc?

I see no options for that.

This is not possible in this version. The pro version of vBCredits II Deluxe allows you to build bar graphs comparing the earning levels on several grouping methods including usergroup in the transaction manager.

Those are in the usergroup settings.

[JohnT]

Somebody "hacked" my forum and was able to donate millions of credits to other users. I don't know how he did it. He just registered and sent of millions of credits to other members.

Any idea?

Also, how do I edit the # of credits a user has?

How is the paycheck system works? how can I set paycheck to give X points to the staff within 30 days?

Did you leave the post award system enabled for regular members? Check the usergroup settings for them. There is a tool in the vbcredits menu to find and edit the amounts people have all at once.

Usergroup settings. The main settings let you choose the days, but you cant choose a reference time point though (its effectively from when you installed the addon)

What the heck is the post award system even for? And what does that have to do with somebody being able to donate millions of credits to other users when he doesn't even have that amount himself?

And I honestly can't find that "tool in the vbcredits menu to find and edit the amounts people have all at once".

No offense, but this mod really needs to be more organized, user-friendly, and easier to find options.

[Darkwaltz4]

The post award system is a way for staff groups to award credits to other users without taking the credits out of their own accounts. Some people mistake this for other things and accidentally enable this for regular members.

I invite you to upgrade to the new iteration of vbcredits - vBCredits II Deluxe (works for vB3.7/8+4): https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=245952
It cleans up how everything works together with a lot more features and consistency.
