Ya that could always help, but then people won't really take the time to read the whole thing explaining the hosting credits on the main page. It would be easier though. The check post length would be nice, but then someone might figure out the secret to OpaQue's madness It is a plus but it is also one more thing to make us lazier Not much of a good thing but could be useful.

Well I think the best idea would be to put it in the:

Look & Feel --> IPB Default Skin --> Edit Template HTML --> Topic View --> Render Row

And it would be displayed: That would be nice, so we could everybodies credits and stuff, and its in a easy spot. Its like on all other point systems thats where you have stuff like that. So you could have it on the main page, and in the Topic View area. How does that sound?

That might be nice if it could only be displayed if that particular user is viewing the post. With SMFShop, it displays the amount of money a user has next to his name. But what I like, following on Maine's suggestion, is to have the amount of money displayed next to a post, only displayed on his post, and only when he is viewing the topic, meaning that nobody else can view his crdits from the forum itself.

subsequent suggestions after Opaque's reply will still harness extra database queries for every page.

my personal "ONE CLICK" solution? keep a bookmark on my browser for the TRAP17 forum index page where i can view my hosting credits with just one click. the simplest solutions are the best for me. it serves my purpose and works well, since i don't need to check on hosting credits every single page.

3. Ability For Non-hosted Members To Award Credits. - (11)

   As I already mentioned in the other topic, OpaQue has resolved one of the two reasons I am still
   hosted, but he has yet to address the second. I would love it if non-hosted members are able to
   award credits. Now I understand why it is disabled, because they gain credits faster than hosted
   members, but you could put some kind of conversion tax on it so it balances out. I wouldn't
   mind. I just feel like I'm wasting a credit a day on nothing. The only reason I still have my
   site is so I can give out credits /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D...

4. A Way To Get More Space And Bw - by credits (6)

   OK its come to me that since people apply for hosting sights and are getting it without any problem,
   so there is some BW and webspace not used by anyone atm. Why not give active members possibility to
   get more BW and space? and by active i mean very active. Lets say i have a 30 credit pack. Upkeeping
   that pack costs me 1 credit per day (30 per month) I can apply for another 30credit pack, but it
   would cost me 60 credit and cost me another 1 credit per day (30 for this one and 30 for the
   previous = 60 credits per month). Basicly you'll be getting another acount but wi...

5. Credits Mechanism - How does it work (9)

   I tried searching for this topic but the results were too vast in number to be able to go through,
   so I hope someone could clear my question. Trap17 mention quality over quantity and more credits
   will be awarded to the amount of quality there is in a post. However how does Trap17 define quality
   in this sense? Do they have a mechanism whereby they analyse each post and then assign credits to
   the user if he meets the requirement? Someone please enlighten me /wink.gif"

6. Credits For Clicks! - click and browsing should earn credit also. (8)

   Hi everyone, As from the forum details/rules/news etc, it is clear that the revenue comes from the
   advertisers, opening the forum and even clicking (without posting anything)can do the job. In my
   opinion credits should be awarded for Opening Page and browsing. And ofcourse QUALITY POSTING.
   This way no body will be tempted to post unnecessarytopic/spam etc. Admin, please correct me if I
   am mistaken. Thanks.}}...

7. How To Sustain Hosting Credits - A guide for the members (19)

   I sometimes see trap17 members complaining about spending hours a day in an attempt to sustain
   hosting credits. This is especially true in the reviews. It really isn't that hard. Here's
   my advice on doing so efficiently. 1. The number of posts you make at trap17 doesn't determine
   how many credits you receive. The staff even announced it, and it should be quite obvious, really.
   Credits are determined by the content and quality of your posts. Make longer ones, I guess. 2. So
   how do I sustain a nifty amount of credits? First, set a time you can post at trap17 ...

8. More Credits For Your Post - (37)

   I think you should give us more credits on our post. The reason is I find it very difficult to com
   eon here every single day and think of something new to post. Its really hard and a long procress
   since you don't get credits in the forums that are easy to think of stuff to post. You have to
   post a paragraph atleast just to get one credit which seems not good enough. If I want to post
   something how is it possible to think of a few paraghraphs just so I can keep my hosting service?I
   would like it if you raised the creditting a little bit to make it a little easeir for ...

10. Credit Shop - people can buy stuff with credits (7)

    I say you should create an online store with which you can sell say, top level domains for like,
    2000 points or something, get rid of ads for 3500 points, something like that. I bet lots of people
    would join this program... and smaller credit things, like a small increase in disk space, or an
    extra MySQL database or another subdomain... Something of that sort. Just a suggestion, and
    i'm pretty sure somebody else has probably already posted something to this effect. Just wanted
    to see if any moderators or higher level staff here would be interested in this kind of...

    Hi. LAtely, with all my c/w I've been doing, I've forgot to keep an eye on my
    credits. Came on just now and they were at 0.33 days. I just had an idea. Could you have some kind
    of auto-email if they get dangerously low. You know, not to high we're always bugged by them but
    let's say, 2 days. Most people always check their e-mails when they log on so this way, everyone
    will remeber. Just and idea. Thanks. ...

13. Credits Suggestion - This will help forum profits! (3)

    I suggest that you make it possible for people to buy credits. The credits should be cheaper than
    actual paid hosting. I think this is a good idea becuase users can post their way to getting 10
    credits, but to keep their hosting they can buy, say, 100 credits. Then 100 days later they can buy
    another 100. I think this will really lead to the success of this forum. Hope I helped....

14. Suggestion For Additional Credits - (10)

    hi friends, I just got a suggestion to make. Admins, just see whether it would help? Since there
    are some topics which are made just for the sake of it and not of high interest. What I suggest is
    that the topic starter can be given additional credits if he/she starts a topic which if of interest
    to more members. This can be judged from the number of replies that are generated or by the number
    of topic views. It can be set that for every 10 replies the topic owner gets certain credit points.
    or may be for every 20/50 views that the topic generates, the member can be aw...

15. Negative Hosting Credits Suggestion - (0)

    im suggesting that there should be a limit that your credits can go into the negatives. a while ago
    i was really busy with school, sports, and everyday stuff. during this time, i did not have much
    time to get online and i stopped going to this site for awhile. now i am back and want to get my
    site back up so i can try some things. the thing is, my credits are way below zero. currently im at
    -31 hosting credits. and you need 5 credits to get your site back up (i think its 5, not sure). i
    was thinking that it might be an okay idea if you put a limit to how far your credits...

17. Suggestion: E-mail Reminder, Or Taskbar Application - To let you know when you are almost out of credits (4)

    Hi Everyone. I have a suggestion which quite possibly have been suggested before. My suggestion is
    to have an e-mail reminder sent out to users who's hosting credits are below, lets say, 4
    points. that way, users who can not return to the forums frequently could still be aware of their
    credit status and avoid account suspension, it will also help bring back members to the forums to
    post. Another option, which sounds best to me but might be harder to acheive, is to create a small
    application that sits in your task bar and displays your current hosting credits, each...

18. Credits Per Month? - A suggestions to ensure activity! (10)

    My name is Darker333 and this is my first Suggestion post! Well, if you want to ENSURE
    activity, then my suggestion is to really set up a meter that says how many credits you need to
    avoid a certain day period before your account expires. Now, let's look at this: Current after
    Package 2: 21.6 Credits -.something per day. To keep your account alive, you need to stay away
    from the 0 by posting and when you post a lot of a long time the counter will stop going down,
    depending on Admins approval. When the counter reaches 0.. BAM, you will get a 3-5 day notice sa...

    make cridets at a fast pace but have to know things lol. I would also like to hear what other

    him, an animated graphics perhaps, and even reputations. what do you think about that?...
