My site is for wives and girlfriends of British Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen...in short a large group of women in one place with rarely anything in common but the fact we are with Servicemen...and we get a lot of bitching and arguments, so I have TRIED to implement a code of conduct which has to be signed before they can go any further.

I closed all the boards but the one containing the CoC to Registered Users. I made a new UserGroup called Registered User, and crreated a promotion from Registered Users to Registered User

Reputation Comparison Type - Greater or Equal To
Reputation Level - 0
Days Registered - 0
Posts - 1
Promotion Strategy - Posts
Promotion Type - Primary Usergroup
Move User to Usergroup - Registered User

Yet when I go to the Usergroups, and view the users there are members still in there with 2+ posts.

I have edited a promotion that was set up before but that was over 20 posts and it worked just fine, so dont know where I have gone wrong.

I am currently having to watch the Who'sOnline so that I can check that people who have between 1 - 20 posts can view everything they should be able to! Cant be sat here all day!

It is updated with cron, which takes default every 25 minutes.

You can run it manually from the Cron Jobs section if you want.

Ask vbulletin

also, turn on the log for the cron and after it ran, have a look at the log, might give you clues on what went wrong

logs can ve enabled in admin panel just below where you manage crons.

Aeroclix -- DistantHost link directory
Domains hosting, server rent... -- Distant-Help link directory

My advice is to get you a forum admin knowing vbulletin. With all the problems you seem to have, it will be easier and faster to have someone handling this for you. This way you can concentrate on content and community while the underlying scripts are kept running smoothly.

And over time that admin can show you where all is and how to manage it.

well ive managed a year so far! Far too busy to learn the ins and outs, thats why i use sites like this for HELP when things go wrong!

I am not willing to have anyone from the outside come in due to the content of the site.

Go to the cron section of your admincp and click 'Run Now' next to the bit that talks about group promotions, if they don't promote then - take a look at your promotion rules.
