    Default Apparently, we're idiots. Help, Robert!

    Since my Goldmember status didn't renew automatically, I decided to fix that today by donating $20. I guess that's not the way to renew paid membership, since I still have the "regular fretter" status. I tried to send Robert a private message, but I can't even do that until I'm no longer regular.

    Help me Robert! What did I do wrong?

    Thanks!

    Edit: Thread title fixed!

    Oh sorry. Lemme fix that for you.

    You're not an idiot. The software automatic subscription did not work. I haven't figured out why yet.

    Robert, I've noticed that since I renewed, my hair has started thinning, I frequently forget to zip my trousers up in the morning and I've forgotten the name of the capitol of Oklahoma. Did I send too much?! Please advise.

    By the way Sean, Goldmember was always one of my favorites. Especially loved Honor Blackman as Pussy Galore...

    Well, admitting it is the first step.

    But seriously, folks, how do I even check when my subscription thingy is supposed to come up or what I gave or anything like that?

    How you check is a good question, Marnold. I have not found the answer to that. I made some changes yesterday, so hopefully members with a subscription will be automatically charged a year from now.

    I'll check my credit card statements. Unfortunately my bank's online system is down now so I can't check right now.

    Good question. I don't _think_ I used PayPal. If I did, it's not going to work anymore because I killed my PayPal account.

    I tried to used PayPal........and it wouldn't go through because it wanted me to give credit card info too. What's the deal with that Robert???? The whole purpose of using PayPal for me is so that I DON'T have to use my credit card.

    Oh my. Just redirect your entire paycheck to me and everything will work, I guarantee!

    Regarding PayPal questions - I don't know to be honest. The subscription feature is via PayPal, and if you don't have PayPal, you can't have automatic subscription.

    You can still send a check or money or diamonds or real nuggets of gold to
