Credits Disappearing
« on: April 30, 2006, 02:42:17 pm »
I am using SMF1.07 with the newest release of the shop.  I just started using the shop in a live setting.

Several people have noticed that if they have credits then leave the site and come back and make a post their credits restart at 0.00.

It doesn't happen to everyone and not everytime.  I thought that it was just me, but then someone else noticed it.  When another person was teasing me because I tried to recreate the issue by fully changing computers it proved me a liar(my credits were still there, but hers were gone.

I have only noticed this in admins, but not members yet.

I am about to ask members to watch theirs.  I did move where the credits were showing up through display.template.php, but I dont think that would cause a problem.

Hmm, this is weird, and should definately not be happening.
What's the URL for your forum? Maybe I'll be able to see what the problem is...

This is very weird. It's the first time I've ever heard of something like this happening :P

it is strange because it doesn't seem to associate with any specific thing.  It happened to me 3 times and then all of the sudden stopped.  One of my members had it happen to her after her sister closed out her browser, but it hasn't happened to her since.  So far there has been about 10 of us that have had it happen and about 4-5 that it happened to 2 or more times

This is very weird... So the value in the database actually changes to 0?
Is it the 'money in pocket' or 'money in hand' value that gets reset?

yes it was actually changing to 0.  after a member edited the profile I looked at what I had added in there and found the problem.

It was something that I added for another piece of my forum doing it.  Some how it got linked into the table that the money was in and was clearing them when people edited their profile.  so it's not the mod, but another addition.  I removed the offending item and they are not resetting anymore.  Still have no clue how the 2 linked up that way.
