Question about VB3 Features + Security-Updates

[PWolfrum]

Hello,

I have to set up a discussion / download forum for the information management chair of the local university, which requested some rather special features. These features are:

• Attachment function with the capability to log each download of a attachment for statistical purposes (name of the user/IP, date, file)
• Ability to log the user-IPs in case of misuses of the forum

Can VB3 provide these features, or are there hacks that could provide them ?

A question about the attachment-function of VB3: How secure are the attachments against external linking ? (in one forum there will be files, that should only be available to the forum users, not to people outside of it).

Another question is about the availability of security bugfixes: If I understand the sales-page correctly, I get one year of free updates if I buy the "full-version", and after one year I have to pay again. Is this so correct, and does this include security bugfixes ?

Thank you very much in advance.

With best regards.
