This is how I see it...
There is a free version has most of the functions that one may need. You can't offer a professional product with only one or two things different than the free one this would kill sales. The developer needs to further better a product. With time and resource this isn't easy or cheap. It is your choice to choose to use the lite over the pro. Yes there is no import on the lite this may be a big sales point to get customers to go pro as the devs here that provide free products' or plugins really don't get anything close to what they deserve. Just my 2¢. Gripe all you want but I can't see the scam as you put it in other words.

Thanks a lot Charlie.

It's comments like this, and people who see things like this, that make us feel good about continuing to make our free versions as good as possible.

Just wanted you to know that sentiments like this mean more to the mod makers than you might think.

Cheers,
Iain

I've been reading this thread and keeping up with it and stopping from replying, but seriously... I can't anymore.

Bottom line is. DJBaxter, you're wrong. Suck it up, move on. If there was a problem with what DBT is doing, the mods/admins here at vb.org would say so. There's nothing wrong happening, as evidenced by their NOT SAYING SO.

If you don't like it, it's too bad. I've been a customer of DBT since they started releasing their mods and have been VERY happy with everything they've done. They've helped me out when it was MY fault, or otherwise not their mods in issue. They've gone out of their way to help me any chance they can. Their mods work, work well and do what they are supposed to.

That is what *I* pay for, the support and the knowledge that I'm giving my money to some that cares about their products.

I've spent a bit of cash at DBT and have never regretted it. If you're not interested in doing the same, don't. If anything, your statements are slanderous.

Please, go elsewhere and while you're at it, good luck on getting support for the other mod your "happy with".

Ohh and so your statements aren't "misrepresented" again, please refrain from posting here. That'll assure you don't have to worry about it again.

This is modification support thread, not a debate. If you are not requiring support then please refrain from further off topic posting. Thank you.

@ DBT: have you planned any integration with integrate Facebook applications?

What kind of integration did you have in mind?

Hi,

these features:
# Can Un-Thank a post
# Can Un-Like a post

should be implented in the free version :)

Sorry, but we need to have some features that people need to pay for. If we just put all the features people wanted in the free version, then there'd be no reason for anyone to ever buy pro! :P

Wrong Answer! :D

What's the guesstimate of the next release timing and features?

BTW, here are some features I'd like to see:

1) Email user when they receive thanks (fully phrased)

2) Link in both postbit and user profile that is a count of thanks given and received that links to a list of the posts concerned.

3) Widget for posts most thanked, with an option to show by thread which would add up all the thanks within that thread.

4) As mentioned earlier, should be able to configure adding to the users reputation points when thanks are received.

For the record, I am happy to see this and other mods offered as paid Pro versions that are well supported. I'd love to see more Paid Pro hacks being offered! Anybody know of a site that gathers up all the paid/commercial offerings?
