Registration system

[xMike]

Hi there!
I am very close to buying vBulletin (cloud) as I am still trying the demo. One feature that my forum would miss is like an invite-only registration system. Is this included or not? I cant find it anywhere..not even something where I send emails out only to people that are allowed to join my forum. Just the standard registration process vBulletin has. Is there anyway to get something like an invite-only system going ? (by key, or mail) So that I can send out mails or unique keys for people to enter? Or is there at least a possibility to have to moderate users, as in > they register > I have to unlock their account so they can actually do something on my forum?

Cheers

Edit: and will mods/customizations will work with the cloud version?

There isn't an invite only option within vBulletin at this time. You can enable moderation easily within AdminCP so that all registrations will need to be approved before they can use your forum.

Add-ons are not permitted with vB Cloud

Take it as a suggestion for further builds then

Could you tell me where I can find this option? I cant find it anywhere within the usergroup options or am I looking at the wrong spot?
Oh and for the traffic: when I embedd YouTube or Vimeo videos, will it cause traffic on the forum itself? because it shouldnt right?! because its not hosted on the blog...or am I wrong?

In the Admin CP, go to Settings --> Options --> User Registration Options. You will find the Moderation option there.

And embedded videos will not use your allotted bandwidth.

Alright last question:
Can I simply upgrade the bandwidth when I notice my page needs more?

[Trevor Hannant]

If you don't take the top plan, yes - you can simply upgrade plan to get more bandwidth available to you.

Alright thanks!

Edit: Now that I want to purchase it, it doesnt want to work out for me. I want to pay via PayPal, but it wants me to pay via Creditcard (dont have one) and I cant change the payment method..whats wrong?

Unfortunately PayPal can't be used for vBCloud purchases. It requires a credit card. PayPal is available for VB5 Download and Mobile Suite purchases.
