Talking about the pro version features is a bit sketchy because of the vb.org rules on promotion, but we have a pre sales question area on our forums, where questions like that will be answered.

Hmm, eddie, can you show me where we said it won't work with modded sites? I don't recall saying that, and i don't think Zero did either...

If you mean styles, well the problem is we can't take a look at every single style out there, and customise the mod to work with it. You should be aware when using styles that you might have to modify things to work properly within it. I don't see how it becomes our job to make our stuff work with whatever you decide to put on your forum. It works with all of Vbulletins default stuff, and we make the mods for vbulletin, not for vbulletin plus johnnywhoevers mods & skins. Sorry if that seems harsh, but we don't have the time to look into everyones issues for them and fix it. It's the same as people who install betas then complain when things don't work in them. If you aren't able to work around the problems things cause, *Don't use them*.

How does the phrase go... don't look the gift horse in the mouth? If someone gives you something for free, what makes people think they have the right to demand more of that person. If the mod wasn't released you wouldn't have it, so why does the fact it *IS* released suddenly mean that we are expected to "help out"?

We help people who support us etc, which is why we offer such comprehensive support on our PRO products. But why do people expect something for nothing in return? You are asking us to give up our own time to help you, when you aren't giving anything up in return, and then people *attack* us for this? Seems unfair to me.

There are a lot of ways for us to get atention for our mods, and creating free lite versions of our products isn't the easiest of them. Zero does it because he has a long history of making mods for vb.org, and still holds the record for most MOTM actually.

Anyway, sorry about the rant everyone, feels like i'm having to say the same stuff every couple of months now, but it's not easy to sit back and be attacked for giving people things for free.
