yes it can be done using our achievements system that came with the plugins, and we plan to get that going in the near future

it is immature, and rude. Simply posting that you don't like it and would like it changed back would have been better.

2nd, it happened because we updated to the latest patched release of Vbulletin. It was just a setting that went back to default of 150 characters. I reset it to 0

Doing that lso got rid of the hover preview it doesnt bother me but just lettign you know.

Can you correct the shout box its very annoying for it to go against the standard for reading for hundreds of years.

I have the same problem. I bought a PS3 Slim and an Xbox 360 Slim for 1000 and 500 points each respectively, and they are now missing. I was wondering if I get my 1500 back as well?

Hovering over a thread title no longer seems to display the little preview. For me at least.

Now you're saying that people would be able to steal my points, setting me back even further, unless I waste those points buying immunity from the shop?

That sucks

Though, Im kind of confused on the whole stealing thing.

**F34R** · 11-11-2011

Basically you buy an opportunity to steal points from another member. So, you might spend 300 pts to buy an attempt to steal, and you might make that back, you might not, or you might steal more.

Ok.

Question: Is there an age limit on the lottery, technically I can't play until I'm 18...?

So are custom user titles available for everyone with 3,000 points or just for subscribers?

It looks like it's exclusive to subscribers. Check the previous page.

Why do I need to Log in to see sigs instead of repetitive text telling me I don't have enough posts".. they are hosted externally. Why block something you don't even host for goodness sake.

Yeah this needs to be fixed, content should never be hidden from users. Don't Give Your Users Shit Work like forcing them to log in to view images. When a text presents that reality, that's your content which is not good.

Yeah, this is starting to bug me. kwesnoth's signature, for example, looks like a mess when you're viewing it offline.

Then log in, problem solved. That's the entire point.

That hurts man.

Or simply set it up so that you only have to read it once. I'm just saying that it's a bit unnecessary when the same text is repeating itself for every link and image, including emoticons, in everyone's signature.

**keefy** · 11-13-2011

Its hy I never use the "attatchment" feature of this site people that arent members cannto view pictures.

**wesmore24** · 11-13-2011

Is that like average?

That's not a good solution. Why should guest that are reading the forum be forced to do something they may not wish to do? As a web designer you should always say to yourself the things I put on my site is my only content, so having that text there makes it look like that's part of the regular forum content which it isn't. This in turn makes it seem like the forum has worse content than it actually has.

You should never, ever force readers to take steps to see all your content.

**F34R** · 11-13-2011

I didn't say I agree with it... that's just the solution, and the reason. I say open it all up, and if the content is worth it, then people will register and contribute. Otherwise, your stats are pretty meaningless.

If I was to give you one piece of advice, it would be this; don't ever consider a career in marketing? You should never, ever force readers to take steps to see all your content. What a load of bullshit. How do you expect websites to stay open and in business if you just give the general public everything on a plate? It makes no sense whatsoever as there'd be no need to join the site then. Hell, while we're at it why don't we just give non-subscribers all the fucking benefits of being a sub? That's the kind of logic you're implying there.

**F34R** · 11-13-2011

Being able to read posts, etc., isn't the same as them being able to fully utilize the site. Look, when I ran pspforums, then tvg, and irshell.org, there weren't any content restrictions and those were some of the best sites to be on. I didn't have any problems bringing in people.
