is it worth to buy PHPLD 3.1 license?

    I was thinking of upgrading my directory sites to 3.1. Would like to hear those who own 3.1 license. What is a plus point, that we should go for 3.1 and not 2.1 ?

    thanks guys!

    1. You are supporting PHPLD.
    2. It's much better IMHO with all the extras.
    3. If you are serious about your directory, the best script possible is a compliment to your efforts to make your directory everything it can be.
    4. It's only $25. Nothing that good is so cheap! :)

    Id definately upgrade - its only $25 and definately worth it.

    Your directory will be easier to manage, theres loads of additional features which are really useful and can add value to your visitors and also the ability to ban ips and domains is an absolute must for growing directories that recieve spam (which we all do). Its definately, definately worth $25!!! Theres no way id go back to phpLD2.x now...

    Great script. Be sure to invest the extra $10 for access to 3.1 owners forum. Total $35.

    Good success,

    Well if you like to tinker with PHP then the version 2 is fine and all the features you can MOD.

    I run both, and yes it's worth the money for upgrading but if you know what you're doing version 2 is a great script as well.

    As far as keeping all your data (categories and links) it is as easy as running the install script again. We have more detailed instructions in the supporters forum too.
    Thanks,

    Yes, the paid versions of phpLD are always better. My favorite thing is the mass approve/deny. It's so annoying to individually deny 10 sites at once right off the bat.

    Finally got it upgraded, had to remove all files instead of just overwritting them. Admin panel looks so good compared to phpld2. Just need to find a new template then i'm all set. Thanks for all the help
