Thanks guys, I'll give it a try... :)

Any idea on how long before it will be available for us to use or test on our sites?

I agree as I was just trying to figure out why mine was not displaying... lol thanks for the tip.... :)

Yes. We have scripts which will handle taking members from your old URLs to the new

Mark, where are these scripts and is there a how too on using them? I would think it's a simple htaccess redirect but I cant' seem to find them anywhere?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the information. While it's a good price to entice new users, people are looking not to lose the entire value of their forum investment. That's why crossgrades are popular, a way of bridging the gap and convincing people to drop their current license and start to invest in something new.

Right now vBulletin owners can "upgrade" existing licenses for $130 and $190 for expired for their cms and forum and blog package. Paying $250 might sound good for new customers but for current vBulletin owners it's still too high. Currently customers will begrudgingly bite the bullet, pay Internet Brands the $130 or $190 and go without dinner for a few weeks. If there was a special offer that discounted that offer for current licenseholders of vBulletin, I'll bet you'll see many converts who will never go back to vBulletin or Internet Brands once switched over here.

Once again, thank you for your consideration and extremely quick replies.

Something to consider is the total out of pocket expense over a few years... looking at IPB in this manner will show you the reduction in future cost with IPB vs VB.... while it's a little more now... the renewals over the next 2-3 years are 25 bucks for 6 months... you don't have to renew every 6 months either... you can skip a few months or a year and then renew for 25 bucks... and get the latest version. Unlike the new vb license you will have to pay full price every year or two when they release a new version.

Bottom line is yes if you want the full package it's a little more then vb to start but the renewals is where the benifit is.

We don't have that specific permission level in your example however there are others that we do have.

The permissions you mentioned are for forum-level permissions. There are also individual settings in each forum settings (outside permissions setup) and at the user group level.

Can you check your pm's before I have to take back that "Nice Comment" I'm ready to roll when I hear from you.... :) :poke

Any ideas how to substitute this:

• bounced email handling
• wiki
• cyb advanced forum rules
• GARS (reviews)
• Invitation system
• reputation system
• reputation comments in posts
• reputation moderation
• multiple account detection and handling
• post report system
• vb's infraction system
• member help / support / ticket system
• real IP detection (see trough proxies)
• reciprocal links directory
• verify email before registration
• facebook like chat
• full featured chat room
• canned replies
• vb's thread prefixes
• donation system
• vbexperience
  

You have too much crap.... most of that is built in from what I can see.... loose the rest lol

You guys are great..... I just spoke with Charles this morning and was very impressed, being a current vb user.... I'm sold on what I see here.

I'm looking forward to getting to know the rest of you and thank you for all this information while we transition to our new home.
