Support
[hr]-[/hr]I use my released mods daily, if I find an issue with them or add features for myself I will release updates. If there are significant bugs or simple feature requests I will do my best to release fixes. Some of my mods rely on fetching data from 3rd party websites, due to the unreliable results, my mods will require users to troubleshoot for themselves if they find the addon is not working for them specifically. I am offering my personal mods that work ok for me for you to use, I am sorry I do not have time to troubleshoot many user specific issues. Thank you for your understanding.

I have lost the 'stars' in the rep field. None of the 3 rep star options will work. All I'm showing for rep is "Reputation:". Img directory is still the same as with previous versions. Not sure what happened.

EDIT: I got it corrected. I made a slight change to the _bit template in a previous version. I reverted the template back after a reinstall and everything is cool.

Interesting. It appears that there are no banned usergroups being detected by the script. Do you not have a banned usergroup? I will add a fix for the script if it can't find any.

In the future, it is always best to upload the physical files before installing a product and uninstall in the opposite no matter what mod you use.

The upload folder works just like the vBulletin upload folder, upload the contents to your forum directory.

Not quite sure what you mean, but, you need to have ftp access and upload the contents of the upload folder to you forum directory. There isn't much else to help explain that, it's pretty basic.

I mean when you download a hack, most of the time you have to upload other files that can't be uploaden in the Plugins & Products menu. So i want to know where that is and how do i get there.

You this clears up,
Thanks.

If you don't know how to upload files to the server, I can't begin to explain how to do that, it should be basic knowledge if you are running a vBulletin. If you are just an admin on someone elses board, you will need to talk to the owner about uploading files.

This way, we could eliminate gamerscore cheaters very easily.

Thanks for the great mod!

Alternatively, I tried creating a secondary usergroup and then disallowing that usergroup from appearing on the leaderboard. That did not work.

Perhaps it would best if there was a option in the admin CP in which we could enter userid #s of those who we don't want included on the leaderboard display.

I think its important that this is addressed as gamerscore cheaters are fairly common and they ruin the integrity of the leaderboard.

Thanks!

[Gryphon]

Yeah, that is because they are in two usergroups in that case, one of which is allowed. I will look into implementing something as soon as I can. Might be next week, the rest of this week is looking busy.

[Hades-1]
