@ Rikki , are you an ipb official?  please tell me, if you are, it means i can throw away my ipb license, if this is the official response, and the official understand of a community here, i give up..
did you know what a community means?
did you know what the title of the  invision power website is?
"Invision Power - Community Forum, Blog, Gallery, CMS, and more - We are community experts"..

Please, but please confirm or infirm that your opinion is an official one, if so i give away my ipb license ( free/no charge)

Calm down ghyghty - your message has been altered at least 3 times - we are all here to help each other. Rikki was giving his own personal opinion (he made that clear), so please do not have a go at him - he doesn't deserve it (even if you think he was wrong).

If you wish to give your licence away, that is your choice (I will gladly receive ;)  ) - but we need to work together not bash each other.

I suppose it depends upon the aim of the forum - we have football (soccer) clubs so groups is a natural thing.

Of course I might be totally wrong if we can introduce them - but for us it is the ability for clubs to be part of a bigger picture, but also unique.

This is only my personal view on social groups, not an official line that affects any roadmap or chance of them being added...

I really don't think they are useful in the context of a bulletin board. Bulletin boards generally are one community sharing an interest in a particular topic that brought them there. Compare this to facebook or MySpace, where there is no single subject - everyone joins, in order to find people they know. In a facebook context, social groups makes sense. I don't think it makes as much sense to fragment a community that has already been brought together by a single subject.

Just my opinion :)

Anyone who's ever set up a sub-forum at the request of a member has a need for social groups. Social groups merely mean that they can get a sub-forum without the set-up.  If there are modifications here that allow something similar then, in effect, you do have social groups. I presume it's possible to start a forum section called 'social groups' and manually add subforums on demand and set the requester up as mod of that forum - That's a social group right there. All it is is a matter of converting the manual steps into something more automatic.

I run a couple of vb boards, one big, one small - the bb has 20 active group forums handled by an excellent mod while the small board uses the stock vb groups features and has about 12 groups of which 5 are active.

I wanted to know, is there such a thing "social groups" for IPB?

In which members can create their own social groups, have discussions/upload files etc? :ermm:


#1925383 How do I cancel my "Order"

Posted Perfect Chaos on 13 March 2010 - 04:03 PM

Now then, I have been searching for a way to cancel my order, and havn't found one.

Either I am a pathetically blindsighted fool, or there is in fact no way to cancel an order/package and will end up being incredibly pissed off.

So, then. Which is it going to be? Am I able to cancel? If so, for the love of (Insert divinity here) tell me how the hell to do so.

Edit: Yes, I realise this is in the wrong Forum.

Nice attitude.

At the top, where it says Support, there is a drop down menu that says FAQ. On there you will find the following.

Can I get a refund?

For hosting accounts, yes. You may cancel at any time, and if you pre-paid for a year, we will refund your unused months.

For purchases for downloadable products, such as software, we do not provide any refunds after the software has been downloaded. To ensure a product is right for you before purchasing, please try our demo, or contact us with any questions you may have.

But as far as I'm aware they don't work weekends, so you'll have to wait until Monday.
