Reputation System Questions Help Please

[-Force]

Thanks to whoever can answer my couple of questions.

A. Currently my forum in the postbit shows

Rep: 1
[]

I would like it to show instead of the 1 (rep power), to show the amount of rep a person has recieved. Like with every +rep, that number goes up.

B. How would I make the number of pips goes up when a person has reached...say 50 rep or so? So when a user has 50 rep they get 2 pips, 200 3 pips, and so forth.

C. How do I restrict specific forum sections to be viewed at a certain amount of rep? For instance, I have a section that contains downloads and useful information, how would I make it so that when people under 30 rep click on it they get the Message of "You do not have enough reputation. You need a minimum of 30 rep to view this section." and those who have 30 rep can view the section fine.

For A & B, you would need to modify the code. vBulletin doesn't support the changes you want to make by default. You can check www.vbulletin.org to see if such changes exist already or if you're knowledgeable in PHP then to request help with them.

For C, you can use usergroup promotions to add a secondary usergroup for the user and give them access to the forums. See:
