NEW UPDATE : Reputation mod, Points system, advanced profile !

* Points System (similar to cash mod)
The points system is a system based on different criteria and allowing users to evaluate themselves or even to compete.

How are points calculated?
- Points generated by the number of posts
- Points generated by the number of topics created
- Points generated by the number of friends that the user has
- Reputation points
- Points generated by the registration date of the member
- Points generated by the number of message on his profile

* Reputation system :Evaluation + "Thanks" Button (similar to karma mod)
The reputation system, as you have noticed, is a sub part of the points system.
It also works with points.

In each posts, if the feature is activated, small buttons to rate the post will be apparent. Each positive or negative rate can make you win or
lose reputation points.
The number of points won or lost can be modified and can be customized for each categories.
The button "Thanks" allows a member who created a topic to thank the user who wrote the message that it considers most appropriate. The post then
appears highlighted.
Check out in your admin panel : Display > pics management > advanced mode > buttons > Please make sure you've got buttons for this functionality.

The field points can be displayed either on the profile, either in messages or both. The name of the field can also be changed.
In addition, several options related to reputation are intended to limit
the use of this feature according to certain criteria (see the admin panel).

* Advanced Profile - is a "remake" of the vBulletin profile.
There are different tab such as:
- The user messages: You can write a message on the profile of a member.
- The friends list.
- Statistics.
- Contact information: You can contact the member.
- The fields of the profile
