darasen 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2008 (edited) Does activating your account reset your points to a certain level or are whats labeled as points before one is hosted count less after hosting? I ask because before I activated my hosting I had 70 credits listed. I went straight to plan 2 which I understand is 30 credits. Thus it seems that I would have 40 credits left. I do not know how credits equate to days of hosting however, it seems that 40 credits would equate to more than 2 days. If I wrong that is fine or the credits are lost or whatever is not really a big concern. I more curious than anything else.

Jeigh1405241495 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2008 Unless it has changed recently, you are reset to 3 credits after getting a hosting plan regardless of how many you build up prior to applying for hosting. Past this, you will have your credits reduced by 1 credit per day. The amount of credits you'll receive for posts vary due to a number of criteria and factors.

I looked through the FAQ and did not see that information. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimmy89 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2008 ouch . Can't exactly say that I think this is fair.Especially after going down 40 points! That would have been a pain, all that hard work posting! But I understand why that rule stands, imagine the amount of credits you could get without it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jared 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2008 It was a kick in the pants for me. I expected the application process to take a while, so I applied for the lower-level hosting once I had the required amount of credits and I kept building up to about 50 or 55. I did this so that once my application was accepted--if it was accepted--I could start using it right away and apply for the second-level hosting at the same time. However, as soon as my application was accepted my credits all disappeared! Lost around 50 credits. :(And my domain still doesn't work properly! The nameservers are right, and have been for longer than the TTL, so Xisto is just taking a while to apply the settings, I guess...- Jared Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
