I have it running, but all PayPal interaction is manual ...

Second, there's an OLD bug in vBulletin that's been around since at least v3.6, where I first noticed it when using add-on ranks. Every time someone uses PayPal with this mod and then I manually add (confirm) them as being paid, it does check off the secondary user group, but the rank graphic for that group doesn't appear until you do one of two things.

Here's a separate post where I made a request for help, but so far haven't had any response.

Hope that helps ...

By the way, I'm currently running 4.04 ....

Regards,
Doug

Yes this mod doesn't properly work in 4.08 for many users, including myself. It will do the basics of processing a payment, but automation to put users into proper usergroups and create payment and renewal logs no longer works and hasn't for a long time.

You may want to hold off on downloading until these issues are addressed, but again it could be any combination of things and particular hacks we all share that render this mod ineffective.

"The link you have used to enter the PayPal system is invalid. Please review the link and try again."

I think this thing fails.
