exclusive vs inclusive
 

As a person who is interested in getting a vbulletin licence I must say that I was very put off on the idea now by the fact that I cannot look at screenshots in the Styles area, couldn't post in most forum areas (I actually wanted to compliment people on thier fine work in the Community Review area). I would say that I found this all kind of counterproductive in enticing someone to becoming interested enough to purchase one. It kind of says, we are not interested in you until you purchase a licence. Is that the intent? Or am I missing the point

The intent is to stop people using our resources without owning a vBulletin license. This is mostly aimed at illegal use of vBulletin and we are sorry if that influences you experience negativly when browsing as a valid intested member.

I understand that mate... completely, it makes sense. But heres the thing that doesn't, I cant even post a question in the pre sales area. I mean how in the world am I supposed to ask a question about it in an area specificly designed for exactly that purpose, when I am locked out from doing so.

Hmmm, you should be able to post in pre-sales, sounds like an effect of the recent changes, I'll take a look at that.

That should be fixed now.
