what about a way of limiting how many credits a member can daily use?

[lasto]

thats an excellant idea ChrisSy - lets hope its possible - say admin specify in admincp how much each user can use and if they go over that quoto then it will show em the error screen.

Hmm, I guess that could be done by adding an extra field, which resets dayly...

[NitroMan]

can someone help me i have done this hack and
it wont show how many credits that u have

[lasto]

it wont show credits m8 till you actually earned some.

Simple test - whatever forum u set up to allow credits in - go in there make a new thread and add a small rar as an attachment then your credits will show up.

[NitroMan]

i left it balnk like tnguy3n said to do
and still dosent show

[lasto]

u left what blank m8 ?
u still need to select a forum in admincp as to where the credits will be added.without this no credits will be issued.

put a forumid in the credit system in admincp then go do a new thread - it will work then.

[NitroMan]

lasto i did that also as u suggested and it still didnt work

[NitroMan]
