Hi Chris, do you offer any discount for the Professional PLUS Edition, or eventually the enterprise-25, for current licensed vbulletin users? I like this product a lot but can't really afford 120-170/year to use all the nice features of this integration
Everything works perfect exepct that I can't see the number of "Users Chatting Count in Navigation Links". I am currently using the free edition, and could this be the reason? I am planning to go professional, but my site is not live yet, and it makes no sense to pay for something before I need it.
The number of people chatting is working, but it is not working properly. I had 3 people chatting yesterday, and today (even if nobody has been using the chat in over 20 hours) it still says "Chat Room (3)".
