    New Usergroup upon buying a subscription (IPB) and IPB subscription conversion

    Just one thing I need to confirm before purchasing:

    Can aMember move an IPB member to a different usergroup within IPB after purchasing a subscription in aMember?

    The ipb plugin can totally control all IP.Board member access.

    Excellent. Does this ipb plugin cost extra? I looked on the Jlogica website but couldn't really find any info on it.

    Also (and maybe this should have gone in a new topic), but can I convert all my existing IPB subscribed members to aMember, or will I have to manually add them?

    I have a help sheet for conversion, it is not for the faint hearted though. Most people have read the instructions and then asked me to do it for them :) it is in my old dox system (new one is still being built).

    Take a sedative before reading (mine is port).

    Ok, many thanks for that! I've got a test server with a copy of my forum on it, so I think the plan of action will be to install the demo of aMember, and try and get it working exactly as I need it.

    Definitely .. never ever try to do it for real without working it all out play-wise first. I still use my list when I do one for someone else there is too much that could be forgotten.
