good solution friend

My 'Cash on Hand' at the moment displays as 42.7000000000007.

I use vBCredits as my money system and have the number of decimal places set to zero. Prior to the above display of cash on hand, it displayed an amount with one digit to the right of the decimal. Is there a way to display the cash on hand with no digits to the right of the decimal?

sorry if this was answered already, but how can we make the TOP PORTFOLIOS page update more often? As is, its once a day right? I searched through all of the PHP files for vbtrade but its not there, that I know of.

Hi there ...

I didn't find a similar problem, so .. here I am:

Pressing the Stock-Trader button (or, as it is named on my board the 'FeeEssen Aktienmarkt') I get this amazing message:

In English it means something like: An illegal opperation should be executed!

In my navbar I performed the changes as listed in the install.txt; in my ACP I granted access to the stock trader to every usergroup, and the error occures either if I give a yes or a no to the 'Turn the vBulletin Stock Trader system on or off'-option.

So, what could be the mistake?

Thanks for Your help ...

There is an issue with selling with 3.6.8 and vbcredits 1.4rc1. It won't give the user the money from selling. It is random it doesn't happen to me the admin but has happened to at least 3 people with over 100 people using it daily. Also any plans on integrating a search for stock ID? Instead of the user going to msn or yahoo to get the letters that make up the stock there will be a search to get it?
