Hi,
I maybe interested in getting vldpersonals but have a question, maybe more to come
I have looked at your demo and notice members can have music, is this something they upload ?
Is it mp3 format or other ?
Regards,
Garry

You may specify the formats members can upload. MP3 is set by default. It can be either music, or pretty much anything else. You obviously have an option to disable this feature if you don't need it.
Hi,
After the 12 months how much are updates ?
What do I need the ioncube for is the files are not encypted ?
I see you encrypt 5 files do these contain any code for the script ?
Let say I set it up on one domain name to test then, I want to change domain names is this going to be a problem ?

Garry

Hi,
I see in the demo it has Paypal, but can I charge the member by other method using the script ?
If not are there any free plugins for other payment systems ?
Also is it just vlad (you) who runs the company or do you have staff that support vldpersonals ?

Garry

By default it's paypal but it's possible to integrate other payment gateways too.

We have other people working in the company. Being a lead developer of this product I answer most questions though.
Hi,
Do you have a 7 Day free trial, or a money back guarantee.
As I would like to take a full look around on my own hosting account

No, we do not offer trials or money back guarantee at this time. Feel free to browse through the demo. It's an exact copy of what you would get.
Even Vlad doesn't offer a money back guarantee you're not going to need it! All of us here who have been running vldpersonals feel like we've 'come home'. The software is so flexible, and Vlad support so great, you won't want to look at anything else.
Hi,
Some more questions
1. How flexible is the gender side for adding more genders ?
2. Are the genders put into search automatic or do you have to do something else ?
3. I have been running osDate for sometime and have mod'ed it to suit my needs. In osDate it has a few main files which control a lot of the script, does vldPersonals have a few main files that control a lot of the script or is it all over the place ?
4. I noticed in the demo, it has been restricted in places. Like for example the instant messenger and was wondering what happens when the members get a request to chat, do they get a pop-up or is it hidden out the way so they have to scroll down and keep checking ?
5. Has the script got any bugs in it at all or is it full stable ?
6. How easy is vldPersonals to mod to suit my needs ? and, is it PHP/MySQL based ?
7. Should I be able to bring a lot of the PHP/MySQL code I have done for osDate and use it on vldPersonals ?
8. How easy is it to edit the templats ?
Regards,
Garry

1. It's as easy as editing a gender profile field in the control panel. One thing you should keep in mind is that "i am" field must contain the same items as "seeking a" for cross search to work. It's obviously possible to remove either one of those if you require something custom.
2. All profile fields are display in the search form automatically. You may choose which ones to display in the control panel.
3. Not quite. All modules are placed into their own files so you don't have to dig through thousands lines code.
4. Chat has been restricted because multiple users may login as "demo" which may cause unpredicted results. Basically when someone sends you an instant message, you will get a popup box asking if you would like to talk to this person. You may choose to accept it or temporarily block it (member won't be able to send another request for a few minutes).
5. There's a small glitch with counters in the current version but it's already fixed in the upcoming release.
6. Yes, code is open source so you should have no problems customizing it.
7. Of course.
8. As easy as editing any other HTML and CSS files.
Hi,
First let me say thank 
you for answering all the questions so far, but I do have some more
1. In osDate when I have made an addon I would assign keyword or keywords, so the smarty template could call in the data, does this work the same way and is the template system you use Smarty or something else ?
2. If I get stuck doing something should someone in the forum be able to help ?
If I don't get any help from the froum can I email support ?
3. Do I need FFMEPG for the video side or any other part of the site ?
4. re: change log v2.3.1, what would be an example of a cross search "between fields of different type" and has this search problem been completely resolved?
5. When I make an addon can I set it to be only available to a set member level ?
6. Does vldPersonals call these Addon/modules Extensions ?
Regards,
Garry
1. Yes although vldPersonals uses its own template engine since smarty is a bit "heavy" and in the long run will affect your site's performance. Also most data that you may want to use in templates is already assigned so you can just use the keywords.
2. Of course, we offer full technical support. You may ask either on the forum or help desk as you prefer. Do note though that we do not support php/html (so don't ask how to print out a variable 
).
3. It's optional. If you have it - great, you'll have a choice of converting videos on the fly similar to youtube. If you don't have it, you'll still be able to play videos using built in windows media player.
4. Cross search has never been a problem, some people just don't understand how it works. By default only two fields are cross searched - "i am" and "seeking a".
5. Yes.
6. They may be called anything you like really We call them extensions.
