Setting up paid subscriptions on vbulletin?

[johnny6]

hey... i'm setting up a forum using vbulletin. i'm trying to set up a paid yearly subscription for the forum using paypal. i followed the instructions and tutorials i found around the web, but all that i've gotten to happen so far is that users now have the OPTION of paying for the service or something like that. I don't want them to have that option, lol. what i want is the user to sign up and in the course of signup, be prompted to pay with paypal - and then after they pay they're allowed to post and such...
anyone have much experience with this? and does anyone think i should set up more payment options... like nochex and stuff like that? are they worth the hassle? there probably will be some potential members from countries that paypal does not deal with (romania and such), so.... i dunno..
I'm sooooo tired of looking at Vbulletin's admin page, lol. Helf!

well, having that built into registration system, not sure how that would work, never tied that before... but a work around for the time being is, don't allow them to view/post until they pay
