Freedom.

Hi,

I had an e-mail to say my Freedom was about to come to an end, so i signed up for a further 2 years at £20 but i'm now in the blue and not green.

Could anyone shed any light as to why this has happened please??

Nope. Paid through Paypal and the money has been taken out of my account. I'm guessing because i did it on Saturday, it's got to take a working day or 2 to clear with the mods/administrator.

One of the methods of sending money via paypal is echeque.

Re: Freedom.

I sent an e-cheque to renew mine too as I didn't realise until I started getting adverts at the top. It seems when you're a moderator, there's no "going blue" Actually, it seems after some investigation, that I still have access to the freedom area, but I'm still getting the adverts.

I know but whenever i've sent an e-cheque in the past, it tells me and gives me an expected clearance date but this says completed and it was a straight transfer from my account.

Re: Freedom.

Paypal's Automated IPN service has been on the blink in the last few days.

I've forwarded your email to johnd, he'll resolve via the back end systems, any problems drop him a note, you should go green if all is well shortly.

Re: Freedom.

I'm just wondering if my payment is floating around somewhere because i didn't put my Briskoda user name in with the payment or will it get traced to me because of my e-mail address, name, etc??

Re: Freedom.

Hang on in there John (vRS19TD). I'd reckon that if JohnD knows of your plight, he'll be able to find your payment OK Perhaps in the meantime use a green font? Strangely comforting We'll know what you mean

IIRC "Just write nnnnn and we'll know what you mean" is an expression that came from a TV prog hosted by Hughie - er - Green. Who'd have thought green was cool even way back then?

Regards
Mo
