Hi,

It seems with the PayPal mod that whenever I am developing it loads of people are interested, but as soon as the mod is released barely anyone wants it.

I will put the site and mod download up now. I will let you know when that is done.

To be honest, I think what puts people off is the cost of it - people aren't used to paying for mods.

I'd like to try it out, but I'm still debating using it due to the yearly cost.  I think if it was a one off fee of $49.99, then people would be more interested - you could even say it's extra for support / custom additions etc.
 
To put you in my position - I'd love something like this on my forum which receives approx. 2,000 hits per day (most of which are returning visits), with about 10 people at a push, who would subscribe for no ads / extra features etc.
 
As I said, I'd love to try it out though to see what can be done with it.
 
Cheers.

Ok, the website is now up and running again. I will take into consideration what you have said about the costs etc...

Website: http://www.James-R.co.uk

At the moment the website is very basic.

Cheers James.
 
Just trying it out now and works really well!
 
One thing though - any chance to have a downgrade option to downgrade to the usergroup they should be in?  Ie, if it's a ladder group setup, then downgrade into the group which relates to their post count etc.
 
I'll keep testing things out and will let you know how I get on.  Everything looks really good from here though!

Hi,

If someone (lets say a newbie) upgrades to a non-ladder group (moderator) and then decides to downgrade they will temporarily be a newbie until they next write a post, then they will becase the correct non-ladder group.

I could change it so that it automatically does this on unsubscription if you want?

I do intend to add a load of small improvements and features before I release the next major version.

I didn't get a chance to look at this properly as I was getting a few errors and didn't have time to sort throught them (working on the Photo Album mod!) 
 
Are the upgrades time limited? e.g. Our site members consist of a mix general public and Club members who pay a yearly subscription. There is a special Club Member group that we manually assign to them after they pay (either by cheque or Paypal). Come October, we'll need to be removing access until they rejoin for the next year. It's not too bad a job as I modded the registration page so my Moderators can assign groups too, but it'd be much nicer if this could all be done automatically.

You specify a time period for when the subscription is in effect for.
 
Ie, X days, X months, X years, and the cost to subscribe to that group for that period.

Yeah, I think it would be best to auto downgrade to the group they should be in, rather than having to post to be moved back into the correct group.
 
I think the page which you subscribe from needs a bit of tweaking - ie, shows what you're currently subscribed too and how long you've got left etc.  Just to make it a little bit more user friendly.
 
Also, as another feature, you could have a textfield which allows you to put a comment in about the subscription on offer, so people have a little bit more info on what it is before paying.
