So if I have elected not to join the Zoints Community Directory, what happens when the Communities button is clicked on the top toolbar?
A message saying access is not permitted?

Or maybe we create our own internal communities?

You do have to keep in mind that we do a lot of support, have a social network of quite a few people and we do not charge anything for our products. I am someone from Zoints and I would update you if I had something to update, I am sorry that our priorities do not match your's, but obviously its something will ideally be fixed in the future. And to be completely honest, there really has not been a terrible outcry for this from the hundreds of forums that have used Zoints, not to say it is a trivial issue but an issue that many (including their members) have adapted to. Again, we want to fix it, we knew of it being a problem as obviously it wasn't an oversight we didn't catch when developing Zoints Local... we had legitimate problems with trying to bring it over.

As for the ticket, I only mentioned that because if there was a quick fix (I am not an engineer), at the time you might of received correspondence via there about the issue. I am not trying to be rude, but we realize that not everything is perfect with the system and you just have to have patience and good faith in that we'll try to fix it.

Adding on to question #2, I meant that the system by default comes with that checkmark box selected, it's not something you can turn on or off. But yes, members can uncheck it to search Zoints as a whole. Disabling that functionality is again against the allowed usage of Zoints Local. At the moment we are not currently offering it, but should it become available in the future, an Autonomous license would be what you are searching for as I do not believe that Zoints Local as it is would satisfy your needs for a private community.

The reason I say this is because using Zoints Local from the download here entails the Community button, allows for outside searching and those are removed from the Autonomous License. I do not know if that will become available again in the future, that's not my call to make, but if you are still looking for a social networking solution if that license is made available again, I believe that will satisfy what you are looking for. I only say this because I do not want to suggest a solution that will make you as a forum owner or your members in any way unhappy, and Zoints Local as it comes here is based around a forum community aspect that your forum as a private community would not really fit with.

For your other community however, Zoints Local would be a fit if you were looking for the same features provided, but were ok with Zoints being connected to it.
I actually mis-stated that earlier. By joining Zoints and using Zoints Local your members will be included in the searches by Zoints.com. I thought they wouldn't if you didn't join directory, for some reason, but they are. This is the primary reason as to why I made the above suggestion not to use Zoints Local with such a private community.

And internal communities or a special message is not possible, with this version of Zoints, the communities button is to link to the Zoints.com Community Directory.

Sorry about the confusion and I hope this was helpful.

No need to get to defensive. I'm only saying that I would feel better if I knew this issue was being addressed and so far no one has said that it would be. As far as Zoints not charging anything for their products, that is not my fault. I would gladly pay for a product that had all the features working.

I don't believe it was being defensive, but rather explaining the situation. We have made no promises when it will happen or even if it's possible, but I wanted to explain it more to you as you and any community owner deserve that much.

And I never blamed you for us not charging for our products, :), I was simply explaining that we are on limited resources to do everything we want to accomplish and instead of money or payments, we will gladly accept your understanding and patience as we TRY to fix this in the future. :)

One of our engineers, Danny, also did respond to your ticket in late October and stated this:
So I thought you were aware of the situation and that we had someone looking into it (thus making it an addressed issue.) We understand your desire to make this feature work, and ideally it should, it's just a matter of someone figuring out how to do it as it stumped us in the past.

I get this error when going to user cp and try to edit option?

Could you please open up a support ticket at:
http://zoints.com/support.z

It may very well be a conflict with another hack, but considering I've never seen it before (the error), it would be best to let an engineer see this wickedstangs as they would have a better chance of solving it should be it an error with Zoints.

Hi Andy,

It appears that you do not have mod_rewrite enabled on your server. Could you please uncheck the 'Enable mod_rewrite URL's' in Zadmin and let me know if the profiles work then?

Thanks.
