New visitor, but Just gotta ask
I'm an old IPB user, since their version 1.3
I paid for several lifetime licenses, which IPS says they're now retiring (using the argument that version 4 is a new beast, not the same as the old beast). Strange that my first 1.3 LIFETIME board was authorized upgrades through 3.4.9, but not good enough for version 4.X
Anywhoo, I'm looking at new software. vB is a no go, same with Xenforo. I don't mind paying but not for limited upgrades, which is what all paid software is going to. If they don't have a lifetime license with free upgrades, I don't need it.
Now, about Elk. Hitting the landing page from a Google search for "most secure forum software" search, I can't find any buttons or links to a How-to for the software.
I know most young people (I'm, well, over 60, lets say) might automatically know these things, but somewhere on most software sites there's an FAQ/How-To area, list, link, message thread, something for newbies who fell on to the site. As bad as some foreign software sites are, one thing they are usually good at is making the How-Tos as obvious as possible.
Ok, so am I just blind, getting too old or not looking in the right place. Hey, can you help an old man our here?
