How easy it to install? Easier then IPB? I've been using IPB for a while, but now I'm thinking about switching. It has all the same features as this. The only problem, I don't got a job, so I can't get the cash for it yet. Next year I should have it, but I don't want to wait...

I'm not exactly sure how easy the VB is to install I just know the mods are easier.

Well, that's good. I don't like complicated stuff. I will definetly get it if I get my hands on the money. What payment methods do they accept? I don't got a credit card.

[Wyzrd]

We also accept PayPal, wire transfers and checks/money orders.

How quickly you get the license info depends on the payment method you use. The quickest is with PayPal using the funds in your PayPal account. This should take just a few minutes unless the payment was an eCheck payment, in which case it usually takes 3-5 business days to clear.

The Metacharge credit card option also just takes a few minutes.

The Worldpay credit card option can take up to 24 hours to be verified.

Wire Transfers can take up to 4-6 business days.

And finally checks can take as long as necessary for the check to reach us, be deposited and clear our bank.

License information, regardless of payment method, is not issued until the payment clears our system.

Hmm, yeah the money order feature would be good. Now to get 160 dollars...

[Wyzrd]

Yep and since you already have an IPB from what you said. You can transfer databases but all members will have to reset their passwords.

[Grandor]

Dude, that's awesome. But that's another 50 bucks to transfer databases.

[Wyzrd]

I was told it was free I thought. I don't remember I'll look into it because I asked VB about it once.

[Grandor]

Okay, great. But I read on the Invision Power Services site that was the price so I don't know.

[Wyzrd]

That's if your going from VB to IPB but your going from IPB to VB so it might be different I'm trying to find out but they are being slow.


EDIT:
Ok it was jsut confirmed. If you buy a VB and you have a license there is something they have called Impex you have to install. But it is free when your a VB License member so there for you will be able to transfer from IPB to VB free of charge.

There is no charge for Impex to licensed customers of vB.

Oh, that's good to hear, I'll be able to do it then once I buy the liscence. Thanks for getting me the response, Wyzrd.

[Wyzrd]

No prob, because myself was interested in it to lol.

[Grandor]

Okay, great. Well, now I know what to do. Now I just need some cash. And the installation for that must be hard as hell.

[Wyzrd]

I hardly doubt it really. But I'll be doing mines in April as long as I can save enough money for that and to move because I will be moving in April/May. I'll let you know how hard it is.

[Grandor]

Okay, great. Because I won't be getting it for a while.

Well...I just tested the admin validation thing on my own forum...let me say this: Holy crap...I just had 5 spam accounts try to sign up in the last several days... they can't post or even see the forum, so...they can't do crap! XD

[Grandor]

That's why it's a good suggestion. I'm telling you.

[EmilyAnnCoons]

hehe, I just finished setting it up completely on my forum...before, they could see things, but now they get 1 whole forum that says "Please validate". If you can't validate your e-mail address, you won't be validated by the admin, thus you won't be posting in my forum

[Grandor]

Why do you think my Forum is always spam free? (Other then my kick rear mods!)

[Lizzie S]

Is it just me, or is this WAY off topic? THink it should be closed?

[Wyzrd]

Yea we did kind of go way way way off topic lol. Close it Leon.

[Grandor]

We have been going off topic on all these topics. If you want to close it it's up to you.

[Lizzie S]

I think I will... For the good of the site.
