    So they are currently running a $99 entry offer, but before I plunge - Has anyone taken the time to purchase this?

    What do you think? What about your members?

    We have a license for it, but probably aren't going to use it for a couple months until a couple glaring issues with it (in my mind) are fixed. Most notably, you can't go to new posts in a thread... if you click a thread, you are ALWAYS taken to the first post/page. That alone makes it kind of worthless currently... but it's a known issue and is actively being fixed.

    The other thing I'll wait for is PUSH notifications. But that aside, the $99 entry offer is probably worth it even if you wanted to wait a few months to get those features.

    They are very basic issues, i'm surprised in all honesty. They seem to be actively promoting what feels like an unfinished article. I may consider purchasing and waiting like you said. Is the license for the same period of time the rest?

    I'm interested to get this as well. The $99 is yearly right? Which presumably starts the day you make payment? I too am waiting for the glitches to be ironed out but don't want to part with the money If it knocks 2-3 months off my license. Is that correct? Or does the license have some sort of activation from the day you use it as opposed to the day you purchase it?

    Your license covers you for support and free upgrades, the software is yours permanently.

    Likewise. The price will double soon though.
