Just a heads up for everyone: I've noticed that if anyone changes anything to their bank accounts on PayPal, it automatically cancells any subscription payments you had.

 

I am getting a lot of cancellations latley and am going through and updating the member accounts, so if you still wanted newsletter access and full board access and don't have it anymore, please know that I didn't take it away for no reason - it's just that when I get the notice from PayPal, I won't receive anymore payments until you sign up again for the subscription.

 

If anyone has any questions regarding this problem, email me from the contact page or let me know in this discussion right here.

Just an update to this post. I have spent some time this week going through old emails, PayPal notices, saved spreadsheet forms (I do keep track of all members - even if I don't get things updated every day), and I got everyone's posting and access rights updated.

 

Some people now have access to places they didn't because of a slip-up on my part and some people don't have access to places they did because of neglect on my part.

 

Basically - if you haven't paid up or changed info on PayPal, or just let your membership fade and would like Elite access back, get in touch with me or signup again for full rights.

 

If you think you should have access to the Newsletter or to post somewhere and you can't, let me know and we'll get it worked out. You can respond here if you can't get to an email address for me - although I have a ton so do a little looking.

 

As always, if your Elite membership has expired, it doesn't mean you can't post anymore on the BBoard. You still have free reign in Brian's areas to discuss all things Lumley, so enjoy!

I'm having some problems myself! I just tried to send you a private message and this came up:

 

Because you are preventing people from sending private messages to you, you may not send private messages to others.

 

ehhhh???

 

Also I'm not aloud into the retreat, says I need a password for it?

 

Update: fiddled around in my options and ticked a box saying alow private messages. then tried to message you again, and it said: a board leader has elected to deactivate this privlage from you?

Has mine reverted, or is my membership due for this year??

Sophie,

 

The last info I have for your payment was that it expired in August and it was a one year payment, not a subscription, correct? If I'm wrong in this, let me know. Thanks.

ok! Yeah was a year payment from what I've remembered. Is there a new payment scheme then.

 

Will re-pay, paypal payment again?

PayPal is fine - the subscription option is the best, if you plan on never leaving. But either way will work. If you're not sure where to go to do it, go to http://www.brianlumley.com/store/blc2.html.

Hey Dave, I seem to be locked out.

I thought I had subscription but maybe not.

Can you let me know what's up.Thanks.

Yup, you had one but the info I have on file says it was cancelled on July '04, which still gave you access through the original signup date of Feb '05. If you changed anything with your PayPal info, like bank accounts or credit cards that were being used for that subscription, payPal will cancel them to ensure nothing tries to go through on old information from what I can tell. Let me know if that sounds right to you.

Credit card change.

So do I re-subscribe.Thanks.

Yup, you need to resubscribe with your current info. then you can forget about it as long as your info doesn't change again.

OK Dave i'm back in.

Got you all updated Jon. Glad to see you back to Elite status mate.

Send PM re reason why check is not in mail! Darn layoffs!

Hi, I'm a Lumlian from 2000, and just got back on the caravan, and I got a pm from The Bloody Lady asking for a fee...so I have 2 questions: If i just want to be a basic member, do i need to pay it? and 2 if I do, what is the address on Pay Pal that I send it to?

(as an addendum, I'm not allowed to pm her back and that's the only reason i'm making contact this way)

Amarfa, the thread right below this one explains the membership information. It shows the link to the store/PayPal info page as well as Shadoe's mailing info if you don't want to use PayPal.

 

It also describes Basic and Elite membership, decision is up to you

Hi Shadoe,

 

I upgraded to Elite via paypal this week can you tell me when my subscription will be updated pretty please?

 

Thanks

 

Sue,

 

Just got you updated. I wasn't sure who the subscription came from since you used a different email, but based on your profile - I'm pretty sure it is you! You should have access to everything you are supposed to now. If you have any trouble, please let me know.

Thanks ever so! After I sent my payment I realised I should have put some kind of identification in the appropriate place

 

Cheers

Just a bump to let everyone know I was updating non-automatic subscriptions tonight and if you have had a subscription through PayPal and changed or added or removed any info from there site, your subscription may have been canceled, so if you can't get in somewhere - let me know and we'll try and get you sorted! Thanks to everyone for supporting the forums and the site throughout the years.
