[Commerce]Fee for payment options
I managed to solve it 🙂 Please note that I don't use products but only one subscription type, which opens up a bit more flexibility in terms of a quick purchase process if you are a bit creative. Basically the idea is to set up a page (in pages) with two different subscriptions in the front of the flow that looks like this: Each checkbox effectively generates an invoice of a specefic subscription. (The select is to promote the preferred route...) I am aware that this implementation has it's downsides, but it's what works best for me. Here is the code that is behind every checkbox (and the select button) to make it possible to subscribe though it 🙂 <a href={url="app=nexus&module=subscriptions&controller=subscriptions&do=purchase&id=<SubscriptionID>" csrf="true"} alt="Subscription"> Some things to watch out for: Do not add those options to the paymentForm for guests... Clicking the button generates a new invoice, guests will be required to re-enter their details as that is invoice based. (It works well for registered users though). This was the reason why I created an extra step. Do not have more than one payment method active for a subscription where you use this method. Otherwise people will have the option to chose between these later which is messy. Add the page where you sell it to robots.txt to prevent google from crawling the links (prevents some invoice spam 🙂 ). Be aware that users might drop off with a higher price. A user can only have one active subscription at once, otherwise things go kaboom... (I have an access check in place to prevent subscribers from accessing the buy button 🙂 ). IPS will obviously not support this 🙂 Use at your own peril. I do not recommend implementing this if you do not know what you do. Tinkering around with billing systems can definitely either improve your bottom line, or simply ruin it if you screw up (Both technically and legally).

24H Clock in calendar
Hi there, It would be great if it was possible to use a 24h clock in the calendar application, a 24 hour clock is pretty much the written standard for most non-english writing countries and makes proper lokalisation a bit harder.

PAGES - Confused by IPB & the staff
I agree that pre-made database templates should be a priority - The pages application is powerful for those with the correct knowledge. It is better than before but the lack of some default templates(minus two) makes it harder to use.

IP.Subscription Coupon/Promotion Idea
This option could be handy yes :) Maybe its also an idea to add a limit of use on coupon codes?

Moderation, where IPB is lacking..
A soft delete option/edit history would be handy yes. Thats one of the few features that vB has however IPB lacks. Its true that IPB has an approve/unapproved option however this marks the topic as "Moderation Queue" and I don't wish to have that for a deleted topic. I just wish to hide it for regular users without having it in the Moderation Queue.

Overtake vbulletin
There is just one thing in my opinion that both sides are missing and that is a good Group Moderator System(Ability to make members an owner of a group and give them the ability to put people inside the group where they are moderator in or removing them). vB has this however there they can only accept members instead of adding them. Plus you can't make people a primary member of a group in vB. Anyway IPB lacks this feature completely and is a feature I would love to see added.

IPB vs. vBulletin
You have to wait till its approved(Which can take up to 48 hours but is usually much faster)

IPB vs. vBulletin
Don't worry about that. IPB is very easy to learn and a bit more difficult to master. In my opinion IPB does a better job at that. The system actually guides you though. And if that don't works there is alway's a search option(That still have to be improved in my opinion). The permissions work with a "Permission Set" that you are able to make and assign to groups or users. So there won't be ghosts that can read anything without you knowing :) The Permission set is powerful and overview-able however as a sacrifice limited compared to vBulletin(It involves view forum, Read Topics, Post Topics, Reply to Topics, Download, Upload). Anyway IPB is extremely admin and user friendly and powerful.

IPB 3.1.0 features
People that have a moderator function on a specefic group. They are able to add/remove members from a group and potentially able to accept/reject requests to join a group. In this way you can distribute the tasks a little bit more without giving them access to also modify other groups.

Group Leaders
By the way. It won't be only handy for Clubs/Clans and so on but it will also be extremely handy for larger community's with people that has to manage specefic groups. You can easely assign people on it without having to worry about it.
