Configuring Payments & Membership Groups

Hi all - please don't assume that I'm a jerk...I've been doing *tons* of searching both here and in Google for the last few days but haven't made much progress.  I've found similar topics, but none of them seem to address the issue(s) that I'm experiencing.

First things first - I really like Boonex.  I've seen a few complaints here on the board and elsewhere on the internet, but I'm really pleased with the software and configuration...haven't had too many problems yet ;)

The nuts and bolts:  I would like to set my site up so that it has a Free membership with limited access, and two more tiers granting specific permissions.  Configuring the permissions is not a problem :)

I have configured the Paypal Mod for my Paypal account and that aspect appears to be working correctly, although I do have a couple of questions about that as well.

When a member pays for their new level of membership, it does not appear to be applied to their profile automatically.  So if Joe is a Free member and he pays for Premium membership, I have to upgrade his account manually.  I'm unable to find anything in the configuration that handles this.

A quick question regarding payments:  Each level has a box for the number of days with the cost - is there any way to configure it to offer monthly or yearly membership durations?

Last thing (I think):  I'm planning on purchasing a full license for Boonex (once I can generate enough income to let me know the money won't be wasted) - based on some of the complaints that I've seen on the site in recent months, what is Boonex support like for paid customers?  For this question, I would really prefer to have it answered by customers rather than the Boonex Team ;) I think you understand :p  If you'd rather not post publicly, feel free to shoot me an email roknrol (a-t) yahoo.com or just message me here.

Have a look at http://www.boonex.com/m/Dolphin_7_Membership_Subscriptions_Module

Very good mod, well worth the money.

Thanks for the prompt reply!

Yeah, I saw that Mod but the sticker-shock gives me cause to hesitate - I'm unemployed right now so even a c-note is a bit much for me to spend on a "what-if", you know? :)

Is that the only way to get this configured for what I'd like, or is there a cheaper method (even if it involves more legwork, I'm not opposed to it)?

Roknol - It is highly unlikely that Boonex will even lift a little finger for you after you have sent them money.  The licence fee is just to remove their advertising from the bottom of the site.  Any support you get will likely be from this forum.
