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!

1) set some usergroups to allow credit awards on posts. you probably want this on at least admins and super mods.

2) find a post and award it whatever youd like. also, if you one of those usergroups, you can also add credits through the award link on profiles, if users dont post often enough to have posts to award :-p

Thanks but my main thing is to wonder if they can be removed. I would like to take credits away.

missing the "manage credits" link in the UserCP, i applied the edits from the instructions, this is the only one not showing

Yes, you can also specify to remove credits in the same places

Did you check for the $template_hook variable in USERCP_SHELL? I can help you apply it, but youll have to talk with me via PM to set up a chat

[FanAddict]

This is a really nice mod,
However I am wondering if you have anything available, simliar to namepros.com or dnforum.com - as to purchasing username changes, sticky threads... etc etc? (Using real $$$ not points?)

yes i checked it and it wasnt there, so i added per the instructions, but it still doesnt show. It actually doesnt matter really now that i notice that the navbar links to the same location, most of my members will probabaly use that.

There is a paypal to points paid addon, and vBCommerce will have that kind of functionality (using the credits)

mikeylikesitz - if you want me to help fix it contact me with any IM listed in my profile

Also, another error has been found, although it ONLY affects you if you have fresh installed 1.3. If so, please upload the new credits_time.php file in the package to your forum/includes/cron folder. There is a small error with Scheduled tasks :-p again, only affects fresh installs, NOT upgraders.

[adc-arab]

thx dark i'm installing it right now and waiting for IPA addon

[Gemma]

Upgraded but still getting an error in Scheduled Tasks

Time Based Credit Awards

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/*******/public_html/includes/cron/credits_time.php on line 41

I currently use iCash points system, which seems to have fallen to the hack graveyard. Is the conversion of credits from iCash to VBCredits easy? also is the vbookie plugin working? and ALSO! can this hack be used with IBPro Arcade?
