Brand new features are mostly only cloud. Most of the new features that are in the cloud are of no interest to me because they are not needed in my forum. Edited March 17, 2023 by Grafidea

Randy Calvert Posted March 17, 2023 Posted March 17, 2023 39 minutes ago, Grafidea said: Brand new features are mostly only cloud. I'm sorry, but that is incorrect. 85% of features released have been for everyone. The features that are actually "cloud only" are that way because it requires stuff that does not typically exist in a regular web hosting environment. @Matt explains this pretty well in the following topic: Amy Pond 1
Grafidea Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 It's not just about that. The new features are simply to encourage you to use the cloud.
Randy Calvert Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 Just now, Grafidea said: It's not just about that. The new features are simply to encourage you to use the cloud. Not to be rude, but yes... that's kind of the point. Business do that. They introduce new features to get you to use their stuff. 😉 ESPECIALLY the services that have higher margin and lower support costs.

Only these cloud functions do not encourage me, I do not need them in my forum. These features are more aimed at business, no hobby forums.

Then why this comments…? No interested, simply ignore cloud option and stop all the comments- sorry but it is a subjective point of view.

Feel free to PM me 😀 Is that mean you can do something with prices, I have contacted several times for a best price you can do for Creator and generous credit as was discussed in live topic and still waiting for answer. As well the only answer regard prices was “We only offer the prices listed on our site at this time.” Amy Pond 1

Edjazoli Posted March 21, 2023 Posted March 21, 2023 It’s look like you missed the point and live topic few weeks ago where Charles officially said that “generous credit” will apply if users will move to cloud…No one said it’s a bazaar, normally before we making kind of sarcastic comments we gathering correct informations etc, not like a kids in the sandpit. Over and out.
Randy Calvert Posted March 21, 2023 Posted March 21, 2023 The monthly price is the monthly price, but they do have a one-time credit that is available if after you move to the cloud that you give up your self-hosted license. Grafidea, Edjazoli and Olivia Clark 2 1
Olivia Clark Posted March 21, 2023 Author Posted March 21, 2023 @Edjazoli We do not offer discounts on the plans themselves but do offer the conversion from self hosted to Cloud for free plus an account credit after the conversion is complete to give up your self hosted license. If we did not tell you this or perhaps you have questions or specific requests, please do email again. What @Randy Calvert said 😉 SeNioR- and Edjazoli 2
Edjazoli Posted March 21, 2023 Posted March 21, 2023 I know and never asked about monthly discount etc, so no idea why people saying that I’m kind of think about market or bazaar etc???? I simply said that I asked what credit will apply to my plan….that’s it, nothing more, nothing less. And that was the reply….
Olivia Clark Posted March 21, 2023 Author Posted March 21, 2023 I understand and I now see your email where that answer was not provided. I'll follow up with you there. 🙂 Edjazoli 1
Edjazoli Posted March 21, 2023 Posted March 21, 2023 Only asked for kind of, say “discount” as black on white “ Charles said he will apply “generous credit”…this is why I send emails as he asked to ask for it and it’s end up with no proper explanation- sorry for any kind of misunderstanding. 1 minute ago, Olivia Clark said: understand and I now see your email where that answer was not provided. I'll follow up with you there. I thought if I will ask, you will easily link/ see my account and you will give me some provisional number so we can start from there.

I apologize for the confusion! You are correct. The credit is based on what you pay/have paid so we will check your account and reply to your email. I do help with the conversion process so should you choose to move forward, we will speak again. 🙂 Edjazoli 1
