    How about some basic information???

    You folks may have a great product, but you make your potential clients work pretty hard to get some very basic information:

    1. Compatible with which versions of vBulletin?
    2. Installation process?
    3. Upgrade path from one version of vBulletin to next (i.e., 3.0 to 3.5 to 3.6)?

    You put BUY NOW and TESTIMONIALS in my face at every turn, so why not put up a REQUIREMENTS page, too? Your release information in pre-sales assumes people are familiar with your product. WE'RE NOT! A basic information page about your product sure would help.

    Just a suggestion.

    TIA,
    David

    Specifically:

    What are the minimum system requirements to run vBSEO?

    * vBSEO works with all current vBulletin versions 3.0.x and 3.5.0 (Beta 1, 2, 3, 4, RC1 & RC2), and requires Apache’s mod_rewrite module to be installed and activated. NOTE: Apache mod_rewrite is typically enabled by default on most web servers. If not, you can request your web hosting provider to install and enable it.
    * vBSEO is encrypted in two version: (1) ionCube and (2) Zend. Your web host must be compatible with either Zend or the ionCube loader in order for you to successfully run vBSEO. NOTE: Most web hosting providers already have 1 of these two options installed, or will do so at your request.

    That page is hardly update though and not very easy to find (seriously the only way I can find to reach it from this page is all the way at the bottom in the footer with a link that says "VBSEO Home"

    It mentions nothing about 3.6 in what you quoted. Plus you guys really do need a features list somewhere easy to find that is updated.

    Technically, it does.

    "vBSEO works with all current vBulletin versions" .. if there was a comma after that, it would be spot on.

    Keith,

    Thanks for the link. It seems like that page would be ideally suited for this site where folks like me can find it.

    I'll let you know how it works out for me. I'm going to turn it loose on my forum with 700,000 posts. It should be fun.

    Regards,
    David

    Yes indeed. There are plans to restructure the site navigation along with the product specification content in a more suitable format for users not familiarized with the software.

    Thanks for suggestions.
