Eh, That's really strange as it shouldn't work because it's use a totally different building structure.

Anyway, Glad to hear that

It would be great if you could make something like this (officialy) for vb4.2 I have the odd SQL error here there but nothing major...I suppose I could post it next time I get one

I have just got my first vbulletin forum and am using vbulletin 5.

Do I have to buy this? If so is there a discount for beta users?

this is a beta product as vb5 is in beta stage
and yes any mod you download on here is free, the only time you need to purchase something from a developer is if they bring out a professional version available
on "their" website which you will have to purchase

this is your own choice and only purchase something "if" it offers what your looking for that's not in the beta,free versions

mainly purchasing professional products will allow you to remove their copyright footer and give you extra options for the product

There's a Lite/Free version attached. The Pro version is optional and I doubt you'll get a discount as it's a third party developer.

That's correct, You can use this free version of our software in any vBulletin 5 forum however if you want to use vBFoster Pro or Enterprise version you'll have to purchase a new license in order to get it installed in your forum : https://www.vbfoster.com/buynow/
