Important Answers about Blessings on CF2

If the blessings have been reset why do some still have astronomical amounts of them???

Ty

Because the Blessings were reset, but one (at least) of the bugs weren't fixed first.

THANKS
and now I see that this system is beyond seriously snafu.

1. Last week, my bank-Acct. had*100,000* blessings in it. But
now, there's a Notice: I have a ..."100,000" LOAN !!! I think not.

2. Also, the currently-showing "5,832"-blessings is way off.
I understand we were too given 5000-blessings for the Switch-over; but
I had almost 900 Blessings before, plus with getting 10 for each new post,
obviously I can't be having LESS, than I started with 2 days ago.

3. (almost forgot) - 3 members sent me "awards", I'm told by Chrisbot.
The amounts show alright; but they were not added, so
in essence, I'm now a "baglady" on the street. what a Zoo

Good thing this ain't real-life. The bank would be scrambling for a Peaceful-resolution

The bank's down right now and the Blessings system is being worked on, so I'm not sure if the information it shows is accurate. See how it looks tomorrow or the next day.

Google & googles of blessings

(And for those that don't remember a Google is a number first then a search site )
(1 google = 1E=100)

You know, the story went ... that Chrisbot tried to run-OFF into Retirement ,
with the entirety of ALL our Bank-blessings

But, obviously that was not the case; as here in full-view of everyone, it shows who's sitting on all that moolah,
plus some: Lindon Tinuviel Blessings $899,999,999,999,999,938,766,978,450,986,231,177,393,407,728,
551,529,114,740,216,224,023,078,551,155,561,834,981,939,214,
547,812,731,505,847,466,769,090,658,864,722,134,489,538,441,
379,573,387,759,651,895,578,629,933,678,539,519,311,895,434,986,290,338,141,663,395,840

For starters, my question is - HOW do you pronounce that number

I'm impressed that the forum can handle numbers that large

 

[LammyPammy]

Unfortunately, for my computer screen, maybe others too, any page that has someone with those astronomical number of blessings makes me have to use the scroll bar to read on that page. That's not a blessing...

That's getting frustrating.

Regardless, this new site and its features seem promising and I am going to be patient and pray for the best.

Must maintain my lammy-ness!!

 

[purplecloth]

Look at the award box under your post. Just like that Expect them to be poofed when they fix it.

What does it mean when it says "Title Link 1,2, so on on Custom Navbar" in Edit Options?

Somebody here

could probably answer that for you more quickly, but I think that's where you put the URLs for your Custom Nav Bar (which I'm not sure whether it's implemented yet or not....)

 

[pgp_protector]

That may be left over from the older forums.
They allowed you to create custom shortcuts on the navagation bar of the old forums. I'm hoping they bring it back.

When will the bank be operating properly again?

So that we can keep our savings to one side whilst keeping some 'spending money' for day to day use around the site?

 

[nexialys]

OK, after the night some have passed playing Generous Bill Gates, it was impossible to reset all the outrageous donations and awards on the forum -- let's say 1200+ were done...

so the system is back to normal MINUS the bank... no more banking until we fix this properly... actually it is fixed, the bank was not the problem, it is the monstruous amount of blessings that a lot of members here have that caused problems..

simply: banks are not made for millionaires... they usually have their own cache or somewhere to invest their money... the bank is a place for the low revenue people, like you and me... but as a lot of you have millions of blessings, the bank overflowed each time someone was entering it... giving interests and bonus for your blessings... like any bank would do...

anyway, i've switched the bank off... and IF someone find a flaw in the system again, due to wrong settings, instead of playing with the blessings of everybody, please report the problems.

for now, as indicated in the OP, blessings are back to before the upgrade, PLUS 5000 blessings for all who already had blessings, and now the bank accounts are emptied so the blessings you had in bank are NOW in your hands... you will be able to put them at the bank later in the next days when we set it correctly.

So you can now live in peace and have fun with your blessings.

oh, btw, here is the quote that helped me out to find the bugs... technical, but come from the author of the entire Blessings system:

I have determined that your bank is very much in working order.

However, I have discovered why your users have enormous amounts of credits:
You have enabled for every usergroup unlimited access to the post award system.
If you look at the Moderate Donations / Loans link in the acp you will notice _many_ outrageous awards being made between ordinary users. I checked your usergroup settings and this is indeed the case.

You have given them -1 for all 4 limits in the post award system settings in the usergroup settings, a configuration normally reserved for admins or other fully trusted group. You will have to change your settings to something like 0 limits (disabled) for the non-worthy groups. Then you can go and undo/delete all of the outrageous awards your members made. It might be easier to clean up by uninstalling and reinstalling vBCredits.

Like he said, reinstalling the Blessings... that's what i've done this morning... that's why there was a slowdown and even error pages.. SORRY AGAIN!

 

[purplecloth]

so, if someone just gave me 5,000,000 blessings, why oh why, are they not showing up?

Thank for that bro.

Repped you for it. Would rep you more but system won't allow it yet.

Be glad when we get the Site Supporter status system sorted out again.
