Can you please explain how to adjust points based on what users already have?

Also, bug perhaps: manage category > usergroup enable for administrator not saving even though it says saved successfully

[SpikedRocker]

Is there a way to link the points to the vB Credits mod you guys have?

[DragonByte Tech]

[Chadi]

Thanks. I'm a bit confused. How is anyone supposed to use the avatar feature with default 0 points and no ability to buy with points?

I also added max_input_vars = 15000 to php.ini and restarted apache, same problem

PS: how do I *edit* user points? I added 100 for myself for testing purpose yesterday but want to remove it

Seems to be working fine on my forum, cheers.
Gonna optimise all the images. If anyone is interested I'll post them here (if DB allows).

Hello, I am getting a problem when trying to access the avatar interface. Everytime when I click on the tab, I get an error message back saying "invalid Action".
