what are the Points and Credits i see on each post i make to the left of each post what are they used for

points are from vBActivity and Awards and users gain them for various forum actions as well as being the "best" at something (e.g having most posts etc) they can be used as a currency with our vBShop Mod. vBActiity and Awards can also be used to set weekly points targets for members to hit, and gives a visual display of how well they are performing compared to the forum average (you can see those as vbActivity stats in the 5th tab in the postbit).

Credits are from our vBCredits mod which is a more powerful currency solution with fine grain configurations for actions per forum, per usergroup etc as well as offering multiple currencies and the ability for members to purchase credits using PayPal - its primary use is also as a currency for our vBShop modification.

There are Lite versions of both mods you can try in our downloads section and on vbulletin.org - alternatively you can test out the admin features of the pro version on our demo site (Click "Demo Site" on the top navbar here on Dragonbyte-tech.com).

Hope that answers your questions!

Nope, they are used to purchase items in the vBShop not DBT Products
