Hello,
Great theme! Do you have the right to remove the footer credits with the $79.99 single site option?
10:04 pm
Thanks Darren , I saw that but the green with the blue navigation and background threw me off a little as I thought it would more color coordinated. BTW I’m not complaining as I am looking for the red theme to use

Can I buy single site license and then use it on one site or must I specify domain in the process of buying ? Because I would buy this just out of curiosity and then if I will like it I would use it for real.

Darren: Nice job on the new theme!
I had a question though. Does this theme have support for embedding videos within posts or another area?

We ask that footer credits stay in the single-license version, but can be omitted in the developer’s license.

You don’t need to specify a domain, but you should decide ahead of time whether or not you think you’ll use it on just one site vs. multiple sites.
@Eric: you can see sample video embed here.

Awesome theme, but having a little trouble actually buying it. How long does it take to process reviews? Been waiting 3 hours now, still nothing.

@Ptah:
Plimus’ standard email response says: “Your order is currently being reviewed by our staff for quality purposes, this process is usually completed within a few minutes, however, please allow up to 12 hours to hear back from us.”
Ben is currently handling the commerce side of things (he’s based in the UK and will be up and about within a couple hours) and will check into this to make sure transactions are working smoothly. Anyone noticing processing issues like that is free to contact Ben or me via email.

Ptah – thanks, you’re our first customer :)
Plimus are quite strict on sales (to prevent fraud) and double check everything to make sure it’s legitimate. According to the sales control panel you have made the purchase so we should be good now but let us know if it hasn’t come through and I’ll take a look.
Thanks for your support!

Hello,
I just wired the amount of money to the bankaccount. It will take probably 5 days. I’m really looking forward. I guess I’m the first in The Netherlands that will buy this template.
5:21 am
because I allready spend hours and hours customizing mimbo I was having some doubts about ordering the theme because I had to start all over again, it took me about 5 minutes to think it over :)
I ordered 20 minutes ago and got the template now, I paid with visa and strangly I got a phonecall from Plimus who handles the payments and they wanted to know which bank I had. At first i was not inclined to tell them anything because they did not even introduce themselves properly. They just said something about the mimbo pro purchase and then asked for bankdetails. I think anyone would be suspicious.
Anyway, just telling the name from my bank was not that a big deal and right after that I received a confirmation over mail. Woohoo, the fun starts now :D

If I buy a single license so I can learn to work with it then decide to use it on other blogs can I pay the difference to get the multi-license?
