    Can vB be used as a Q/A kind of software rather than a forum?

    I want to use it as a Q/A kind of mechanism i.e people can ask questions to a person so the control flow will be like this -

    1. Member will post a thread
    2. It will be answered by the Admin (i.e. Me)
    3. Only member who started the thread and Admin can reply in that thread
    4. The Q/A will be visible to everyone, including guest users
    5. New threads will be at Top and older one at bottom, I don't want threads with newer replies to be at top.

    I am sure most of it can be done using some tweaks/mods, but still just want to make sure its possible in vB as I don't want to build my own system which can take 10x more money and is unstable and unsecure.

    Do you have any good example of sites using vb like above ?

    Also my other follow up questions are -
    1. What's the cost of vbseo ? from where to purchase it ?
    2. Do you offer 30 day money back guarantee ?
    3. How to get new custom themes for the vb forum ?

    Yes it is possible and I have it working on my site. Members can chat with staff in private and the thread is only viewable to the thread starter and the staff. vbulletin is really flexible and you can set it up whichever way you want even without any hacks or addons.

    For customizations: vbulletin.org

    Just helping you before someone else gives you a better response.

      Yes, you can do what you are wanting with vBulletin's highly-customizable permissions system. It wouldn't take tweaks and mods; just adjustments of vBulletin's native settings. You can explore the AdminCP and the Permissions settings in the vBulletin ACP Demo.

      Because the software is downloaded and cannot be retrieved, Jelsoft considers all refund requests on a case-by-case basis. There is no money 'guarantee' as such.

      You can find thousands of themes in various places online. Many sites specialize in just creating vBulletin styles. Google is your friend here.
      Many are at www.vbulletin.org along with all other customizations.

      vBSEO is not a product by Jelsoft. Jelsoft cannot recommend or support third-party add-ons.

        No tweaks involved, just all default vB settings.

          Like I said.
