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. 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!

You'll wana ask questions and post bug reports over at vbcredits.com.

We're eyeballing both sites, but its easier for those helping test our beta scripts if they post on our site. Once we release final public stable version we'll be supporting the updated version both on this site and our site as best we can, although it does make it eaiser on our site.

As for charging for the script ARE not we just felt those that bought products already and or old/new premium accounts would be the best cadidates in a controlled group to test this mod before we release it to the masses here for free..

Imagine trying to support 202,000 members vs say 20 in a controlled beta...

So far dark is getting a few hours sleep, then he'll be working on making sure all our addons and converters are working with vbcredits 1.4 and or cleaning up the script its self for final release.

Those that want to help us know great, those that complain we don't have time to explain everything, you'll be getting it for free once stabke anyway in a few more days.

Props goes out to everyone that's used our script or us helping us iron out bugs so we can get this out faster

[asw]

I've installed 1.4 as well and will say that 'This Thing ROCKS'!

Get some rest Dark, we'll be patient! :up:

Nice hack dont get me wrong but paying to test out betas is wrong.

I have to be honest and say I also had this same thought when I read this thread earlier, I am happy to donate to a good script, but I wont pay a fee to beta test a script then offer feedback on the script to make it better then it gets released for free, that part I have difficulty getting my head around.

It's either a free script, or it isnt.

They're NOT charging for the Script. They are simply giving advanced BETA copies to folks who are generous enough to support them or have purchased their premium products. In case you haven't noticed, we don't have anyone else out there developing quality add-ons of this type. It takes a LOT of time, hard work, and money to get something like this going. They need support (and not just by clicking install). If you don't want to pay, then wait, it's that simple.

Quite true Harley77.

The release of the final product version will be free from what I have read on the vbCredits website. Some of us have chosen to pay/support this so that everyone can benefit from the use of this incredible system. To each their own I say. :up:

I don't mean to bash here but i cant believe that you would UNinstall a script because you didn't read the post fully or were too goofy to understand that they are NOT charging for the script. The level of support i've gotten from these guys rival any major mod i've bought for vbulletin and let me tell you, the others weren't free like these are. Again for a second time, they are promoting Premium Membership, simple as that. As a benefit of that membership you would get access to the beta versions of those mods as well as other perks of being a Premium Member! If you dont want to pay for a premiun membership, then by all means wait a little while for it to be released free like they said they would.

Everyone, even if you would prefer to wait for the REGULARLY free version, you can ALL see and try vbcredits 1.4 on my site for the time being. for free >.< why are we arguing over this?

i can think of a certain other major points hack which is only offering the beta to users who buy branding free. until then, users test it live on the official site, and nobody seems to be mobbing him over it, yet hes been late for months on end we are following a similar release model, except with a little expansion of it.

as for those who uninstall over this...why? 1.3 is still free, and 1.4 will be free, and all the way to v7.9 will be free too!!! (if im still upgrading it in 30 years ) but...version 8.0, i dont know... lol

if i had no intention of having vbcredits be 100% free for the entire time in existence, i would not have initially uploaded it to vbulletin.org. 1) cause it breaks the rules 2) because i want everyone to be using the best, no matter what financial background they come from, because i started out as a broke 13 year old admin who had to pay back his mom for 4 months too :-p
