Is there any way that we can have something in members profiles that will say whether or not they are licensed? The reason I ask, is that we can't see if they are or not, and if a mod or admin hasn't said the "You aren't licensed thing..."
We might help them not knowing whether or not they are licensed...

Is this possible?

Thanks

Then there is the problem with pirates spamming license members....

Is it possible to display the license only to other licensed members?

Sounds good. The same idea "the mark as contributor hack" has but were only the contributors can see the license status and so on.

I believe i saw this discusion before on these forums and the main idea againts it was the privicy of the the ppl. and not wanting to be paged... by ppl wanting the hacks and so on.

Yes I agree, this would be a good idea... even though I have a license... What if I didn't and I got a hack from a friend or something... and he didn't know what to do to fix your problem and I could just come on the board and get the help without you knowing I didn't even have a license.... just a hypothetical situation.

exactly, right now the moderators have to make sure they spot a non licenced member alone. I am sure ppl here would like to help by simply asking ppl who arent marked as licensed to go to the member section at vb.com and add their forum name. I also believe it will reenforce the vb community. If this site is to be used by licensed users only this seems like a logical step in the direction vb.org has decided to go in. (only allow licenced users to get hacks and support)

As much as we'd love to have everyone asking everyone to enter their username etc., this issue has been discussed nomerous times before and the answer was and will always be no - sorry. It's a matter of privacy, that's all.

You can just do what I do. I won't answer questions in the open forums unless it's somebody I know is a registered owner.

Something i just thought of, and this still may be a bad idea.. but what about allowing only licensed users to see if another user is licensed? or is that still the issue with the privacee thing?

You pretty much answered your own question right there.

Bear in mind only licensed users can post in the:
