right now when you join my board you have limited access, and can ONLY see the intro lounge, until you make a post in there.

Heres the "glitch??"

when a user makes there intro post, i have it setup right now, so that every 15 mins the promotion scripts to promote the user to our regular usergroup if they have 1 or more posts.

this is vb 3.6.2

I also had a 3.5.4 board for a while, and this board was setup exactly the same.... except when a user made their intro post they were promoted instantly....

how did i get it to work like that... i didnt have to mod anything for it to work.

The promotions system is a cron job, and always has been. I don't see how you could have done it instantly without a modification.

The closest you could probably get would be to set your promotions cron to run every minute. That's a bit OTT though.

well ya i know its a cron job... thatrs what im saying i dont know why it was instant on the other board.... it was setup the same and i didnt have any hacks that specificially did that sort of thing... the only other thing is i used vb ajax cron.... but im not sure that had anything to do with it.

thats weird then... no one has any idea why it worked before and not now?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
