    Just to say, from my understanding they have merged IPB 4 into version 3, what was planned for the version after 3 is no more and all features from it are now planned for the 3.x stages to come, so they don't have 2 versions running side-by-side.

    That's what I've heard (read) anyway.

    I'm pretty upset with IPB's billing department to be honest. I can't believe they charged me four times when I only ordered one.

    Yup - I told them I didn't authorize it and still haven't gotten a response from them.

    I'm going to XenForo, can't deal with IPS. I just want to make sure they cancel the charges though.

    Borg is right, it is just now Monday in the east coast US(where they are).

    Leaving for IPS because of a billing issue and switching to XF for that reason alone isn't the sounded thing to do. Simply because if it happened, it was probably a glitch, which could happen with anything.

    Now if they didn't refuse you or made it difficult to refund you, then i can understand being pissed and ready to move on to XF.

    Think I'd be a bit concerned though if getting 4 separate involves for $175 each. As that makes it looks as though you've been charged that sum 4X. You've not ordered 4 licenses by mistake have you?

    Yeah you're going to have pay for some mods :P
    The one thing pisses me off is the lack of a good store mod :(

    yeah honestly a lot of these paid mods should be free or already included in the system tbh like vBulletin has.

    What mods are you looking for. I've only bought a few mods - and those are generally the larger ones, that take time and effort to write - so worth buying (especially when the support on them is so great :) ). It's funny, because I always found it hard to find a decent free mod on IPB - to me everything appeared to be for sale there too. Just goes to show, I think, how perception works.

    Just because I haven't used it doesn't mean I don't keep up to date on what's going on :) I still have a licence and I do regularly look at the IPS forums.
