Dear knowledgeSutra members,

We are very and truly sorry for this inconvenience.

It's been over a week, over 10 days and now we're all into 3 weeks since our forum upgrade and myCENT is not being updated for your active roles in this forum. For that, I would like to apologize on behalf of knowledgeSutra.com.

I will try to get the exact date (not estimated or projected) when myCENT will be turning back on and give you an immediate update.

Please stand by little bit longer and hang onto your patience little bit while.

With much appreciation,

Buffalo

Thanks for the news bulletin and keeping us informed something of which I would like to see more of on this forum. Many Thanks hope to see it back soon...

Hey! Thanks for the information Buffalohelp! Though, I thought that the myCents would have been ready sooner? I mean, how many lines of code is it? Any estimations? And how does the myCENTs even work? Well anyways, thanks for the update and I'll be waiting for the next announcement...

well, that's what i thought of long time ago, and here is what i believe is happening, since mycent stands on two things (quality of a topic and length of a topic) so i think there is a counter to collect post lines and for quality i think there is kind of quality rate for topics mostly be done by mods add to all these the rating of the post that made by members. the total will give a specific degree for every topic which will be related to the topic's poster by the member unique id to make sure every member will get only his own mycent. after that, this degree will be added to his mycent account in xisto and the result will be shown here in forums and in xisto account.

so putting all this in a program is not that hard thing to do but using this program to synchronize with a forum needs more work because the data will be read from the forum values, since the old mycent was related to the old forum that means it is compatible with the old version which make this system not compatible with this version, therefore opaque has a lot of work to do to update the system or rewrite it again and make sure it works properly.

maybe i am wrong but this what i came up with after trying to figure out how this system is running.

you take soo much responsibility, really nice !! and yes i am very sure people over here are waiting for the update on MyCents and many other things like shout box etc. And thanks

we had a lot of people complain about why the forums haven't been upgraded. now we have a lot of complainers that are worried about the mycent system and their hosting accounts. you know in some ways, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't.

ash- i agree 100% with you. announcements have to come regularly. the members need to be informed every step of the way. why even have a forum if it's causing so much troubles and complaints. all it does is lose valuable members in the long run. something this place could never afford recently. i hope there are plans to get this forum moving and shaking again. not just an upgrade. i would have liked to see 100 posts a day before an upgrade any day!

Last I heard from OpaQue the Script had to be recoded and that started last week and if I remember correctly when the script was rewritten for V3 took about a month. So it could be awhile but since the dude never sleeps it could be shorter then that, but I would keep on posting and when the script is ready you just get a good amount of MyCents when the script is run through the forum. Of course, expect some slow down or forum down time because it is a lot of posts to go through from when the script went offline to when it comes back online again.

great example of admin declaration, i love those who did this announcement thing (and totally hate the one that just disappeared and let the users went riot before giving announcement...)
well since i almost can't do anything for the scripting, i can only pray for your good luck on your jobs, admins. we are always waiting for the great news

really? i wasn't there when the forums still using the credit system, but a month sure is quite a while o_0
but i think since OpaQue has found the concept of the mycent scripts, it should be sooner right? well i hope he's fine and in good fitness to be able to do his good work

On May 19th, OpaQue announced his plans for rewritting the myCENT code for the new forum. Unless he gets distracted with other things hopefully he should have a working script by the end of this month.

He also announced that those who are having issues with your suspended hosting due to myCENT shortage, please email him directly so that he can do something about it.

Log into your Billing page, submit a ticket with ATTENTION: OpaQue regarding myCENT and suspended account. Include in your support ticket that your account was suspended because myCENT was not updating.

Or, use the direct email "support (AT) computinghost {dot} com"
