Subscription hack needed
I dont think VBulletin handles subscriptions very well. Its buried in the control panel and unless you are looking for it youll never find it. Before buying vbulletin I was expecting something more user friendly.
What I was hoping for was creating a forum that has restricted access to only a usergroup belonging to a subscription. When people who are not logged in or who wish to join the subscription click the forum, they are taken directly to the subscription page to choose a scribby and join.
As it stands now, Im going to have to put some sort of step-by-step tutorial somewhere for people to follow if they wish to join a subscription forum. All they will get right now is their access is denied.
Shouldnt this be more autonomous? If you are already subscribed, you go right into the forum. If you are not, you are redirected to the subscription page to sign up.
I have a feeling not many people are going to know the forum is for paid subscriptions nor how they can sign up for it.
