PhotoPost Community - View Single Post - Suggestion - make vBgallery support equal to PP support

Just a little constructive criticism:

Why is it that ever since vBgallery was purchased by All Enthusiast Inc. it has never fully been integrated into the product lineup? When you go to the members (downloads) page for vBgallery there is no link for version 2.0. When you go to the purchasing page, there is no option for vBgallery. If a customer is using Photopost but wants to convert to vBgallery, there is no import script. So one could go from vBgallery to PP but no vice versa. Why is there such limited feature additions to vBgallery compared to PP?

Many of us who left PP went to vBgallery because it was a better platform for those of us who use vBulletin. We wanted a script that integrated tighter and had certain benefits that PP didn't offer. But now that you guys bought the script new feature development has become very limited. It's almost as if you want to convert everyone over to PP by limiting feature development and avoiding making the script easy to purchase. Why not proudly treat the script as part of the PP family? Give those of us who paid for the script the type of product support and new feature development we deserve. If you have to raise the price a little, please do so. But don't just let it sit idle. Keep it growing so that those of us who made the jump can look forward to some new features and new versions.

It's very frustrating to have done all the work to move to a script that better suits your needs only to have it bought out and have the feature development slow way down simply because the company who bought the script doesn't want it to compete too much with their other gallery script. Just offer us the same level of support that you offer the customers who buy Photopost Pro. The features don't have to be the same, but we should be able to see some good feature development like those who use Photopost Pro enjoy.
