Few Questions.

[ssdevious]

Hello,

firstly, I'd like to thank you for creating such a huge and awesome community, vBulletin certainly needs it and I'm sure, everyone will appreciate it.

However, I got few questions, I hope, you won't mind, if I post it here and than hope, someone's gonna answer me sooner or later.

I don't have a vBulletin license yet, but before I spend the money for it, I wanted to browse some themes and mods and see, if vBulletin would suit my needs best.

While browsing this forum and trying to check some templates / skins, I usually get this error / warning message telling me that I don't have the needed permission for visiting the desired address.

vBulletin Message


ssdevious, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

I understand some license related restrictions, but not allowing me to open a screenshot of a forum template?

Second thing is, when I was trying to open DEMO at least, it redirected me to some page about aliens or w/e it was. The URL is here: http://www.mythtalkers.com

Is there any specific reason for this?

I'll appreciate a little clarification on this. Thank you.

Best Regards,
SS-Totenkopf

The restrictions were put in place to keep unregistered members from accessing license-holders-only portions of the site. That includes viewing screenshots, which can easily be uploaded to sites which offer pirated vBulletin versions and rips of skins.

You'll need to have your license verified before you are able to download file attachments (including images) and/or post in certain sections. Don't look for these restrictions to change.

I believe you can get a vBulletin demo at http://www.vbulletin.com/admindemo.php --- but I have no idea what that mythtalkers.com redirect is all about.

HTH :)
