Hello,

I am looking to use this product for monthly competitions.

Basically the top 3 users per month with the most points will get a prize, cash or otherwise.

Would this work well using your product to score the users on their activity?

Will the system tell me the top 3 members each and every month, can i get it to email me and them if they win and can i plot the stats to a forum thread/or page?

I want the competition to be as automated as possible.

Thanks.

Neither of those things are currently possible, but completed contests show up on their own page on vBActivity :)
 
You can make it run a contest with any time interval you choose, from 1 day to 1 week :)

Currently, it only allows setting an activity target (that is, the first x persons to reach y points within the specified time) but in the future we will expand it to the x most active people and other such contest types :)
 
Is there an admin demo, so i can see if it will fit my needs exactly, i just need a hour or so?

Or can i buy and get a refund if it isnt what i need?

I am a previous customer, have two other products already.

Thanks.
 
Unfortunately admin demos aren't something we're able to offer at the moment.

Your best bet would be to install Lite, and ask us about any functionality you would need that isn't included and we could let you know.

Most of the pro features are extensions/expansions on the Lite ones, so they work more or less the same way usually ^.^

What a tool I am, I did look but didnt see a lite version. I'll download it now and have a play. Thanks.
 
No problem at all ^.^

There are Lite versions of all of our mods for this very purpose (just in case you ever want to try out any of our other mods ^.^)
 
Therein lyes the problem, nowhere is it explained what contests entail, so im expected to pay 65 bucks to find out?
 
xD sorry, slight brainfart on my part =) (p.s you can simply buy the much cheaper 3month version if required)

I've attached a screenshot of the contests section of the ACP =)

The prizes are the awards/medals you have created.

Re; 3 months, it a bit of a false economy, if i dilike what i find im down money, if i like and want lifetime, im down money, lose lose for me really.

Ill check out the screen grab, thanks.
 
Great, looks good, so i can set a month comp each month, for a member of the month competition.

What goes in the prizes drop down, is that editable? thank again.
 
The prizes are medals/awards you have created previously for the user - what kind of customisation did you have in mind?

P.S in this occasion if you want to purchase the 3mo to try it out, I will make sure you can upgrade for the cost of the difference (so it won't cost you anything more).

Hopefully this lets you try it and make sure you're completely happy with it before spending the remainder of the lifetime balance ^.^ - Theres nothing worse for us than a customer finding out theres something they can't do and that mod is miles down the update queue!

Ah ok, so i can create say money value medals or awards? so the prize the users sees is 1st 200 bucks 2nd 100 bucks etc.

Then setup a monthly comp and they can try and win.

Anything you can make via the awards section of the VBA ACP can be given as a prize - so you could absolutely make an award (and image) that is only awarded to that one person if you wanted - or one only given to the winners of each contest etc ^.^
 
Perfect, ill grab the 3month version now, just to be sure.

If all goes well id like lifetime, for the price difference.

Thanks for taking the time to answer all my needy questions.
 
One final thing, ive setup some awards.

Requestable: Yes
Nominatable: Yes

How do i stop them being requestable/noninationable.
