Hi,

Hi,

I purchased two credits today and went to an error page with code 200, I then purchased a further two credits and again was directed to the same error page. However, my PayPal account was debited by £4 so I have 4 credits due to me. I went to the 'apply credits' page but it said I had no credits.

Can you please apply my credits?

Thanks.

Please wait for Ross to appear. He knows this is a bug, and will rectify it quickly.

We apologise for the inconvenience!

Hi, the credits have now been applied to your account. Sorry for the delay

Hi Ross.

Thanks, the credits have shown and I applied them until July to see how it goes with forum page hits. However, the ads are still showing on my forum?
:-(

Rgds,

Neil

There should be an option on the Ad-Free page called "Pause Ad-Free". Ensure that is not enabled

Hi Ross,

The pause ad-free is NOT enabled and still the ads are appearing, bugs and more bugs come to mind! Help!

Hi,

You've applied all the credits to July rather than 1 to April, 1 to May, 1 to June & 1 to July. I'll have to manually reset them.

Update: I've adjusted your forums database so that they're spread across the 4 months

Thanks Ross, you've sorted that and the general ads are now gone but the vforum links is still at the bottom of my forum although I've set the admin page not to display them - I set the ad-free link option to NO.

HELP! Ta!

PS Ross...

I've also tried setting the add-free link (for the bottom of the Page) to YES and it still displays the vforums link and buy credit link?

If you want to remove the bottom link add this code to your global headers:

<style>
#bottomtext {
    display: none;
}
</style>

That should be in 'Forum Settings' under 'Board Name'

Thanks again Wrighty.

I've looked around the settings and see how to restrict who can view, post, etc, in certain boards BUT I can't find the section where I can set the preferences to approve any messages submitted by forum members (instead of them posting straight to the board)?

Unfortunately that can't be done. If you feel that it's a feature that vF should have then feel free to post it in the Suggestions (you may be required to register).

Could I ask for what reason you want to 'approve' posts? If possible, I may be able to suggest a different method on how to go about it!

The reason I would want to view postings before they are posted is to make sure that there are no silly postings, I understand that I can have everyone register as a member before being able to post and remove them and/or their posting afterwards but would prefer to get postings approved first.

What would you recommend?

Well, all I would suggest would be to get some mods so that they can check the posts. If you feel that you'll be getting something close to 20 posts a minute, or something more than that, then you might want to drop a suggestion.

However, I have a feeling that it could be done through a code... Not 100% sure how though, possibly hide the post (or replace it with a message saying: 'This post is awaiting approval') until it has been approved. Then when it's approved, it'll show normally.

Only thing with that second method is that you wouldn't be able to see if there were any posts awaiting 'approval' easily.

Unfortunately (just remembered) suggestions are shut at the moment, perhaps either of my above methods would work best.

Hi there Wrighty.

For such a young guy you're doing a great job and offer 1st class customer support! I registered for the forum but as you mentioned the suggestions are currently closed, however, if you could please suggest a 'post moderation' option in the forum settings to the 'powers that be' that would be appreciated!

You would have thought it be that simple. But unfortunately something like that would take a while to implement. And probably wouldn't make it to the forums for a while.

I'll PM Ross and point him in this direction, he might have a cunning plan that I haven't thought up.

Glad to help!

Excellent Wrighty! Hopefully Ross and you can come up with something!

Please can you make your own topic because then it's easier to keep track.

Ross will know then to check that topic and add the credits if the payment has gone through. Please also include a forum name.
