You're correct, vBulletin charges you for a "yearly" fee for the software which you're correct, your model is the same as that. I have the "original" version of the classifieds which was less then a week after you finally released a "newer" upgrade and I didn't qualify for that upgrade because my maintenance I guess had gone up. That is, after someone finally got around to doing something with the classifieds ..... which seemed to be very dismal development and I guess that pp was the priority?

It isn't so much paying for the maintenance that I find frustrating, it's asking for help when I upgraded to the latest pp version to find that it ruined all of my pictures and they are gone, although the directories /data/500, etc still exist. Weird, eh? Then what was even more frustrating was being told that I just need to go to a backup.

Believe me, I'm not here to just complain and that's not my style. However, when being asked for funds and also not getting the support that I feel I should be getting result in me being a little more hesitant. I'm sure you can relate to that.

If you'd like to settle this privately, I'm game for that. Once settled and when my pp is working as it should, I'll be more then happy to get on here, and state that the "level of service" was spectacular, second to none, etc. ;-)
