  If I could give this -10 stars I would. Support is terrible and it sounds like a bunch of bratty kids who have written code with ZEND and seriously it stinks.

  Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

  My client installed this script on his server and asked me to maintain and upgrade it. Here's the synopsis: 1. Script itself is not worth $200. The functionallity is weak for that price. There are open-source solutions that are better, and the scripts that cost the same are FAR superior in every way. I recommended right off that he buy another package. 2. Hassle to purchase upgrades. The transaction itself took a week to complete because WebScribble doesn't check order status on Webdate purchases any more. After the purchase was finally complete there was a hassle because they would only release the plugin to the original WebDate license owner, not to a contractor. 3. Documentation is crap! Downloaded the plugin and there was no documentation at all. No readme, no version docs, no mod steps, NOTHING!!! Just a bunch of files they want you to over-write your existing files with (including index.php), which is VERY dangerous! 4. Software is obviously not maintained. I went to the WebScribble site to request their "Free Installation." Request page was crumbling from rampant database errors which made the process a huge puzzle. According to the page, my client had purchased dozens of the same five products over and over again. Clearly a loop had gone awry and nobody had bothered to fix it. When I finally got through this rat's nest, I got a SCRIPT ERROR which tells me WebScribble probably never got my request. 5. Software didn't work! Finally installed the plugin only to find that it didn't do what it was supposed to do AT ALL! The install script claimed it migrated 600 users to the online forum, which it did not. Plugin was designed to register new members in the online forum, which is did not do. These are the only two functions the plugin needed to handle, and it failed miserable on both counts. Even a re-install was not able fo fix the problem. 6. Support is shit! Tried to call for support, but WebScribble doesn't offer phone support. Used chat support and they were unable to help. Filed a support ticket and still waiting for answers as to why the plugin does not work AT ALL!!! Giving away my server login information via web form to a strange company is all we have to show for support at this time. 7. It is obvious that WebDate is no longer a maintained platform, which in my mind makes it a security risk for anybody planning on using it. I had my client remove the script from our servers and replace it with software that works and is maintained. Called WebScribble for a refund at least on the inoperable forum integration plugin. Got the usual "no refunds, sorry" bullshit you get from companies that make shit software, know they make shit software, have no intention of improving, know they'll never see a dollar from you again, and are just tickled pink that they got your money to begin with. When I confronted my client about why they purchased software from a dying company, they said they knew it was crap after they bought it, but figured what the hell. Do not make the same mistake. Buy right FIRST! Go someplace else.

  HORRIBLE SERVICE - AND YOU WILL NEED IT. ANY POSITIVE PRAISE ON THIS SITE IS COMING DIRECTLY FROM THE COMPANY. I MADE A MISTAKE GOING WITH THESE GUYS - THEIR SERVICE ATTITUDE SUCKS. I thought I could get bye without service issues, WRONG. Seriously consider all other options.

  I bought a copy of their webdate last year. The problems started right away. Very poorly written script. Starts out with really stupid things like no padding in tables, text was right against border. Things got really crazy early this month when their "server" went down (is that something like "the dog ate my homework"? My website was reduced to a bunch of jiberish, webscribble made some very inept moves, like telling me to look at my own temp page and that was their site, that it was OK(???)

• TERRIBLE SUPPORT!

  This product is TERRIBLE! Actually, it'd be ok if they actually offered real support. They ask that you submit tickets, but take several days to respond (if @ all). They encrypt the coding on some of the most important areas, and brand their name and a link to their site within the admin, even if you're a reseller. For member profiles, you can change options that are there, but can't ADD new options. (eg you can adjust the height, but try adding "weight" to the demo) Also poorly coded.
