Major Features:

Customizable Registration Page: Customize your registration page's exact field and section display order. The default page only allows profile field ordering - our page allows complete ordering of every field into multiple sections. You can even hide fields and sections from being displayed.

Registration Page Instances: Taking the customisable registration page concept further, v2 lets you set up different instances of the registration page, with each instance having its own configuration of fields. For instance, you can make certain fields only show to users who have not been invited.

Invite System: Users with proper permissions can send invites to emails for registration! This can work in conjunction with either open or closed registrations allow for exclusive registrations based on invites! Includes integration with vBActivity!

Verify Email Before Registration: Ability to verify an email before registration! This can work in conjunction with either open or closed registrations allow for exclusive registrations based on invites!

Guest Redirects (Pro): Set up redirect instances which allow for redirects based on page views, time on site, thread views, and have options for persistent redirects or one time only.

Registration Process Tracking: In-depth tracking of guests throughout the registration process; including: error pages reached, ip address (only shown to users with is manager permissions), redirects, email address (if available), time stamp, if email was invited or pre-verified, and many more!

(Pro) Post-Registration Actions: You can now auto-announce when someone has registered, or automatically move users that register to a separate usergroup entirely. All actions are configurable per-instance, so it's possible to only announce pre-invited members, for instance.

Where did it say this? The ability to allow for invites only is a pro-only feature if that's what you were meaning to do. Couldn't quite tell with that vague post.

You need to change how your descriptions reads because I wasted my time installing it believing this version would in fact allow invite only registration. How frustrating and such a waste of my time. Thanks alot.
