    Paid subscriptions

    What exactly are the paid subscriptions? Can I make a forum (or category) subscription based?

    Yes. Create a custom user group and give that group permission to access the private subscriber forum or category. Then create the subscription, set it so subscribers are moved into that group after they pay.

      Instead of moving them you can also choose to add them to the new group as a secondary group

          One additional question: After the subscription period is over - will the access to the forum stop or will the vBulletin software charge the client again?

            How does a member know that there is a paid section and is there a link or payment link so members can see the sections that are subscription based?

              I really recommend taking a look at this post. It will surely help you out:

              I've done some searching on the forums here to get a better idea of exactly what the purpose of a paid subscription is and how exactly to get it working. I have found the answer to the first question, but how to set it up is still a mystery to me. Is there some sort of documentation somewhere on Paid Subscriptions
