    Alex,

    We have become very frustrated with the lack of support from our current
    membership software, hence we are considering a switch to aMember.

    I have downloaded and installed the trial version and in general, it looks
    good.

    However, there is one major setback for us, but I'm sure it can be resolved.

    We require our users to create a username as Firstname Lastname. (Caps and a
    space are mandatory.) The reason is so that the username in vBulletin shows up
    as Firstname Lastname. We don't allow nicknames and pseudonyms in our forums.)

    The problem for us is that aMember script forces the username into lowercase.

    1) If we purchase a full license, I assume we can edit out the code that
    forces
    the lowercase?

    2) Will usernames with a space in them, cause any problems elsewhere in
    aMember?
    (It's not a problem in vBulletin.)

    3) Have your resolved the user title bug in your vBulletin plug-in? Does the
    title now change correctly in vBulletin?

    4) I assume it would be easy to import our DreamAccount database into aMember
    using your export/import functionality?

    5) Can we hack aMember so that the user is also added to a Groundbreak
    database?
    (We'll use the user ID from aMember in this case, as GB does not support a
    space
    in the affiliate links.)


    Depending on the replies above, we look forward to joining the aMember family
    asap.

    Many thanks for your attention and reply.

    Cheers,

    Herby

    Yes. All source code is not encrypted except two files
    /amember/plugins/db/mysql/mysql.inc.php
    and
    /amember/rconfig.inc.php

    It should not.

    It was not a bug, but we made necessary changes and now waiting to run field tests.

    Yes. Integration with third-party scripts is described in aMember manual.
    If you have problems with it, we are ready to help.
