Well i definately neeed this now, even if it takes someone to write the software for me, so come on VB Team surely you are able to release this under some supervision without clamming up and deleting this thread? Obvioulsy you can do what you like, but if you are that scared of losing registrations and license fees from people using it instead of registering multiple boards with your, then how about this - I WONT renew my registration, there you've lost one already - oh and the other one I was going to purchase for the other forum.

Anyway I have asked Sonia if i can use her software, but no response as yet. What makes me really wary is the deleting of threads like this, this is obviously a fundamental feature for most users, its not like someone is asking for something trivial, this is fundamental community/information sharing and management tool.

Why dont you just allow stuff like this to be released under supervision - you might lose a few registration licenses with people abusing it - but get a deal with the author that she wont publish this on other sites and then incorporate a dongle into the next release of VB to ensure that NOONE other than registered VB users can use it, viola your license count will keep increasing and you will have a happy community.

it that too much to ask? Otherwise i might just go on to the other sites and find a hack? or worse still use some other forum software?
