Mr TWS  Been messing around with this forum all weekend, i'm getting to grips with it, it's a very clever set up when you get the hang of it, more can be done than you first think (well in my case) i've sorted a few issues myself with trial an error. Next issue is to get the forum running up to a nice member level, then offer a gold & platinum life membership for a one off payment (optional with more forum privilege's). I've put some thought into this and i could do it with a donation button only, if i manually put the member into the relevant group after they make the subcription/donation. Or i could add a buy it now button. What are your thoughts on this?

Hi Paul Do you mean like this in a post?  Obviously that could be a Buy Now Button - but that is one option. So for example create a forum topic, and then create your post, with something like - "When your payment has been completed, we will contact you to let you know, and your forum permissions will be altered to reflect your new status" Or something along that line...

ohh i get you, put the button html into the post, rather than on the forum? now thats clever!! I didn't think of that one, i'll give it a try. Thanks for that mr TWS

You can not put HTML into posts, as it will be removed to protect against hackers.
I assume what TWS meant was to add a message explaining the payment process.
The button would need to go in the header or footer. You could also create your own page outside of the forum to host the button.

Hi Scotty The button is an actual link in the post - try it and you will see it works, but your way would work just as well. Either option is available, it just depends on how you would want to create the option for the customer or your forum member Paul

However, just to clarify HTML coding would be stripped - you would need to know the coding to put in so the post accepts the button
