Hi guys,

In an effort to raise revenue on our forums, I'm hoping to implement paid Membership upgrades. Basically 'Member A' pays £10 and for 6 months, 'Member A' will be placed in another Usergroup with enhanced permissions.

Could anyone out there please give advice on the most effective way to achieve this? I notice there is a 'Paid Subscriptions' but that looks like it just provides access to certain forums. This isn't what I'm after.

Well the subscription feature can also place users in a different usergroup.
and the thing about allowing sertain permissions is something you set,
nothing is set from vb by default.

"basicly" what your descripeing is excaktly what vb default subscription does.
but you just have to set it up yourself,

start with creating a usergroup, then look through the subscription options
when set, create payment methods etc..
then finally advertise subscriptions..

Alternatly you can use one of the many donation modifications where
someof them allows you to move user to another group when donated..

Thanks Vaupell, appreciated mate.

Can anyone suggest one of these modifications?, If they are indeed, better than the default subscription system.
