Can I have just forum + blogs in version 4?

[hilaryjb]

Very true. And maybe more to the point, so would all my current members. And there's the small matter of paying for it all. And goodness only knows what it would take to import all we have stored in the...

[hilaryjb]

No? Well, that's interesting. Why not?
(Do just post a link if you've already said this elsewhere.)

[hilaryjb]

Well, I might have done that anyway... haven't quite decided yet whether to stick with Vb or move to Invision when I upgrade. But anyway, it's good to know I can have just forums + blogs.

[hilaryjb]

And that doesn't disable the blogs too?...

[hilaryjb]

I'm using version 3.8.x: the forums, and the blogs add-on. Can I reproduce this with version 4? I see the blogs are part of the 'Suite' now. I have the license for the suite, that isn't a problem. My...

Thank you. (Also - a blog without a preview/ snippet function? Weird. And having to change a setting for each individual article? Odd.)

[hilaryjb]

Hope so...

But I think I'm deciding not to upgrade from 3.8 to 4 just yet anyway - right now everything works fine, and it seems there is no guarantee it would stay that way if I upgrade...

[hilaryjb]

Thanks!

Is there something similar that would work for blog posts and articles? So a 'What's new' box would show the title but no more?

[hilaryjb]

I have some free and some paying members. It would be really nice to be able to show free members that there are new things - new articles, blog posts and events - available to paying members only. I'd...

[hilaryjb]

Thanks. I'll look into them on the hosting reviews sites.

[hilaryjb]

Thanks.

I'm thinking VPS is unavoidable now.

Anyone have any advice on the amount of RAM to look for?

[hilaryjb]

Thank you.

Tell me... which limits set off alarms for you?

Also, how much RAM to look for?

It'd be really helpful to know these things as I look further.

[hilaryjb]

My forum's running on 3.8.4 (might upgrade one day), has a database of about 300MB and anything up to 200 logged-in users online at once (though there will be 1000s of guests browsing).

Strictly speaking neither this post nor I belong here. Hope this is OK, though, as I think this will be massively useful to people.

Is it possible to contact Nuhit's owner and ask if he would sell? Maybe Jelsoft or a VB-specialist firm would buy. Utopia could be just around the corner...

[hilaryjb]

Exactly. Thanks!

I just realised why my newer visitors are starting threads in the wrong forums. The forum descriptions show up on the whole board's home page, but not on the forum home pages. No wonder people are confused....

[hilaryjb]

Ack. Bother.

Do you have a 'feature request' box? As this is another one I'd like to put in. Just another small way to make life easier for the users (like simplifying image posting).
