The area you requested requires 127 reputation points. Unfortunately, at the moment you only possess 25. You may not continue.

i cant set the reputation points over 127 too. How can i also fix it.

İ fixed it by disabling search_start plugin. Now it works well and no problem for me.

ok. I have fixed it by changing "rep_required" in "forum" table, using phpmyadmin. I changed its type to INT(11). Now i havent any problem.

And thanks a lot to Psionic Vision for this hack. i need it too much.

Hey Hi Panic Vision.. you will hate me.. but I have an other problem..

When I put the number of Rep that the user most have for access a forum, it only stay for a coumple of hours and then it reset and stay in zero and I most configure it again.

May be I can help you in graphics or something like that jejeje..

thanks..

Psionic Vision, hello

I need some chages for your hack. If i use like you do it. My members add good messages but when they access that forums, they stop doing it. Therefore i need an option to limit for a specific restriction according to time.

For example : (every members must gain more reputation to access that forum for limited time.) 250 reputaions point for 1 week. After one week these member cant access this/these forum(s). They will need new 250 reputations to be able to access there again. He/She's old reputations wont count to access these forum parts any more.

So, they must always do good things if they want to access these forums. These changes will force them much more than before, isnt it? Because, if i use like now they do nothing after accessing these forums gaining the reputaion limits.

Sorry for my bad english. I hope you understand what i want to explain.

Thank you.

Same here, it works for a little while and then everyone can see it and the rep is set back to zero.
