This is the official Q&A thread for the SMF Shop and forum money.
(predicted) FAQ:
Q. What's all this hubbub about forum money and a shop? I can see no such thing.
A. You're probably using a different skin than default. My apologies but it is the nature of things that the effects of new features will first be felt in default and only later as I have time to do the by-hand code analysis and copy-pasting in the other skins.
Q. Why does [Insert person here] have so much more money than me?
A. Right now? Almost certainly because they have been recruiting alot more than you. In fact, in most cases it just means you haven't been recruiting. Don't worry, all is not lost, you have a few options. You can start recruiting, and get some money that way. You can make lots of more-than-one-word posts which also give you small amounts of money. The most effective alternative to recruiting though probably is to wait for the Budget Act (or something) to pass and then find some job that pays well
Q. What can I do with my money?
A. Right now you can already do such fun stuff as put it into the bank (which charges you for that ^_^) and spend it on items. As time goes on, more items will be added, and a system of more significant exchanges will be developed. I will neither confirm nor deny rumours of a plot to make a currency exchange with NPO.
Q. No, really, what
can I do with my money?
A. Well the intent is to set up a form of exchange, so that say flag shops can actually become shops, so you can give each other forum money for favors you do for each other etc.
Q. I want something to do with my money,
now!
A. Fine, fine, I'll go install a casino or something... Would that suit you?
Q. Yes.
A. Where were you on July 8th 2005?
Q. Hey I thought I asked the questions arouond here...
A. Bwahaha, however did you get that idea?
Q. Noooooooo!
