    Buying today, even though ..

    UPDATE
    Hi there again, I just couldn't wait and ordered it online and got the customer number and everything. I will try to download it now! No need to awnser the questions no more. I just bought it !! w00t.


    Hey there !

    I had a little bit of luck with money, and I am 'seriously' thinking of using the opportunity to buy the vBulletinBoard 2.2.1 that I always wanted!

    However, is it worth buying today?
    I mean, if I am going to order today (the 31st), will I also get it today? As in, does it matter that it is the last day of the year (holidays) ? I hope not !

    And because it is the last day of the year, are there any price changes coming up in January, so it is worth waiting a few weeks? (some program-prices always changes in the new year, and it would be a shame to put so much money on the table, and then finding out a week later that the prices has gone down).

    I do not yet fully understand the options to purchase the software. I do not have a credit card, and will ask my father to jump in there. But is there any other way? (I don’t understand ‘check’ or ‘by fax’!)

    Uhm, I hope to get a reply! So, if I buy today with credit card, I get the code today and have my forum up by tonight?

    Man.. as a 'hobby' the software is pretty expensive for an owned license (but I am sure I will use it forever, and that it is worth the cash!)

    Even though you've already bought it, I will answer the questions in case someone else wants to know

    You can purchase vB whenever you like and you'll get the license info within minutes - even christmas.

    There are no planned price changes in the near future.

      Thank you !

      I just downloaded it and am planning on putting it online asap for testing and stuff!

      I have a little question though:

      The server it runs on (its first domain) is marietje.nl, which is the domain from a friend of which we share the internet account with. The second domain is creations.nl (which is the one I use) and will be the one ppl should type in, to get to the vbb forum! This is just a redirect (by frame)

      So, when someone enters: http://www.creations.nl/ they will end up with http://www.marietje.nl/vbb/

      In the control panel, should I enter as vbb url: www.marietje.nl/vbb/ or www.creations.nl (which i currently did)

      To prevent confusion! (it will be ONE forum, for ONE site, with this ONE owned license! My friend wont be having a forum on his site)
