@aguiacirr Make the changes you want to make (rename, etc.) and then delete the ini files in cache folder. You don't have to change anything to do with the DB.
Alternatively you could to it how you wish, but make use of a cache layer on the server. Also make sure the client doesn’t continuously request by stash the result.
I was wondering if there was a way to make it so when you award points to a user, it deducts some of yours? Like a banking system? Im trying to make it on my forum where people can "buy" things from other users
Posting comments on a user's profile page seems a lot easier, so adding the ability to make those comments private with a wall-to-wall view similar to facebook (or even making a discussion between the two users similar to Vanilla1's whisper feature) would probably make private messaging obsolete.
