That could be an error with vB Credits. Try changing the bitfield for credits_cantearn.

P.S. This is one of the greatest mods ever. Okay, that's an exaggeration, but it does seem to have caused an increase in registrations.

I wish I could help you but I dont have vbcredits install, or any other credit modifiation to try to replicate the error.

Though this doesn't use bitfields or anything, so I'm almost positive thats caused by something else

I am currently running vb version 3.6.9, will there be any conflict if I install this mod?

[SEOvB]

Nope this should work on any vBulletin version that supports plugins.

If you use it, let me know if it works or not so i can update the first post, and get one to work for it

Thanks

grt8 mod but is there away of makeing a url like "'index.php?pageid=my_stuff' " do the same thing?

[SEOvB]

not unless you've got a hook location specifically for that page. You could simply use a meta redirect in the header

<if condition="$show[guest]">
<meta redirect code here />
</if>

then just place that in our my_stuff template above the $header variable and it should work
