    Hi.

    I'm writing here because support is taking a long time to respond to me.

    aMember's phpbb3 plugin is not working.

    I have a forum with 350 existing members. I'm turning it into a paid membership program.

    1. I want everyone to have free access until the end of the month and then...

    2. Starting on the 1st, give them the option to subscribe for $X

    When I "protect" the forum the sign in "sees" the members but gives a "failure" for the password.

    I've spent two days trying to fix it myself.

    The latest response from support is a suggestion to import the names and passwords in an unencrypted format. This scares me because phpbb has used encrypted passwords for a long time!

    Maybe I'm weird, but I expected the installation to work. :confused:

    It there ANYONE out there using this combination successfully that can help me? :)

    To get your prior members into amember you will need to do an import of some sort. Usually this means having amember create new passwords and then you emailing the users the new passwords.
