Ah perfect!
I use conditionals to display things differently based on member groups or ID's. So being able to modify the templates will be most helpful for my needs.
This is great to hear!
I've always believed that a store system, where members can purchase items (that are displayed in their User Info Panel in posts, Profile, and Hovercards. Sort of a visual incentive for members. Trophies & Medals will play an important part with the point system.
The store system can also be used to purchase functions, like the things you've already implemented (e.g., username and titles). And it can go beyond like profile customizations, signature, avatar, profile photo permissions. Colored usernames are also requested a lot.
We can also have a "Special" item that members can buy and that special item is something that the admins can provide for them. In a sense, it's like a golden ticket, that can be used now or later on.
There are really so many things that can be done with a points + store system. I also understand that this may go beyond what you've had originally planned to do. Like I said, I am willing to pay for features since they are custom features. I also think it can benefit other communities too.
Sorry for the long post...I'm just very excited to see a point + store system finally happen for 4.x boards. Thank you!
