ladder groups - num of posts problem

I've set up 5 user groups with minimun 0, 50, 200, 500 and 1000 posts but going to the forums checking users groups it's not working properly...

users are being classfied only in the first, second level tops.

i.e. 1st group goes from 0-50 but a user with 143 posts is classified as 1st group.

another user with 736 posts is in the 2nd group (<200) ?!?!

Am I missing something? It appears that is working but with a totally diferent scale.

PP

And yes, check non of ur groups is non ladder group

and try reuploading files

If I am hearing you correctly, you are trying to convert from an older version of the forum, and then also want to change the ladder groups at the same time.

If this is the case, then this is why you are having problems:

People ONLY get promoted to the next ladder group when they POST.  There is no other way for people to automatically get promoted.  The next time the person posts, they will be promoted, but not before.

This leaves you with a couple options:

1. Leave it as it is and when users post, they will get promoted automatically.  People who never post will not be promoted.
2. Manually change their group via the admin panel so that they start in the correct group.  When they post, it will continue to promote them when necessary.

Simply changing the ladder groups will NOT change the groups of your members... until they post.

Yeah, I had the same issue come up when I created a Lurker group.  When I first started my forum, new members went into a Newbie group and were given 1 star.  I didn't want that, so I created a Lurker group and gave them 0 stars.  I then had to go back and change every account that had 0 posts to the Lurker Group.

Lurker - 0 posts / 0 Stars
Newbie - 1 posts / 1 Faded Star
Newbie - 3 posts / 1 Star
Member - 40 posts / 2 Stars
etc.

It was a pain, but I liked the results better.  Now I can look at the memberlist and see instantly and vividly who has posted and who hasn't.
