Alex, We have become very frustrated with the lack of support from our current membership software, hence we are considering a switch to aMember. I have downloaded and installed the trial version and in general, it looks good. However, there is one major setback for us, but I'm sure it can be resolved. We require our users to create a username as Firstname Lastname. (Caps and a space are mandatory.) The reason is so that the username in vBulletin shows up as Firstname Lastname. We don't allow nicknames and pseudonyms in our forums.) The problem for us is that aMember script forces the username into lowercase. 1) If we purchase a full license, I assume we can edit out the code that forces the lowercase? 2) Will usernames with a space in them, cause any problems elsewhere in aMember? (It's not a problem in vBulletin.) 3) Have your resolved the user title bug in your vBulletin plug-in? Does the title now change correctly in vBulletin? 4) I assume it would be easy to import our DreamAccount database into aMember using your export/import functionality? 5) Can we hack aMember so that the user is also added to a Groundbreak database? (We'll use the user ID from aMember in this case, as GB does not support a space in the affiliate links.) Depending on the replies above, we look forward to joining the aMember family asap. Many thanks for your attention and reply. Cheers, Herby

It was not a bug, but we made necessary changes and now waiting to run field tests. > 4) I assume it would be easy to import our DreamAccount database into aMember > using your export/import functionality?

Yes. Integration with third-party scripts is described in aMember manual. If you have problems with it, we are ready to help.
