User upgrades, supporting member & vendors issue

[admin1]

Hi Folks,

We are working to resolve an issue with the connection between paypal and our user upgrades section. This issue is resolved moving forward and members can upgrade. We just have to fix those members that experienced the issue during that particular time period.
Between June 17 and Aug 12, a few members have purchased upgrades to supporting memberships, ad free, or vendor programs that did not fully go through. But we have all the transactions captured so we will be able to resolve each transaction. Please be assured that we are resolving this issue and those affected will get a PM when it is resolved. It will only be a few days. Feel free to PM myself @Alex or @forumtech . Thanks to members who have reported it to us. Sorry for the inconvenience it has caused.

Thanks

Rob

I recently got a message saying "one" of my account things had expired, and it seemed to be the ad-free part of my account, although the message didn't say which part of my account was expiring. So I paid to renew the ad-free thing, but I'm still seeing ads in between the posts. Help, please?

Same.

Same here.....

I paid my annual dues on May 2 and it has not been applied and I am not ad free?

Why is that?

Paypal transaction shows paid 5/2.2022

I did the Silver Supporter thing via PayPal on the 12th but I don't see the indicator. And oddly, it's always been add-free.

I hope they are able to take care of these issues soon.

Same, 3 weeks out. Hope they set the expiration to the day it starts working rather than the day it is paid.

 

[John Stephen]

Right, I was thinking the same thing.

FWIW when there was a problem like this last July-Aug-Sep, when they finally got it straightened out they did reset my expiration date so that I would in fact have a full year of ad-free (at least, that is what is reported in my account details).

 

[John Stephen]

Thanks Waltham, that is good to know.

 

[Mocaster]

Still not ad free and no admin response....nice...

Hello! Just wanted to drop a quick note that it looks like the vendor account upgrade may be having some trouble as well. I only noticed it because I was about to post some new product updates in the vendor forum and it looks like I can't post in that forum right now. I tried sending a private message but it also looks like the private message system may be having trouble sending - I get an error that the user cannot be found if I try to start a new convo or reply to an existing one. Totally not trying to rush ya, I know forums can take a lot of work on the backend to keep running, just wanted to let the staff know in case y'all weren't aware about the vendor upgrade side of things. Apologies in advance if the vendor thing isn't working on my account because of my own error.

Admins… any chance of a update for those of us still seeing ads we have paid not to see? Much appreciated!

Hi - fyi - I just purchased adfree yesterday but it isn't showing in my account, and I still have ads. I definitely got the confirmation of the transaction.

(I'd go for silver or gold but my finances at the moment are extremely shaky)

Bump

Any news on this issue? The weird thing is, I seem to be getting even more ads, and bigger ads than previously?

 

[trandy9850]

I am also still seeing ads even though I paid to be ad free on 7/06/22.

I also sent a PM about this and never received a reply.

 

[Bruxist]

Still waiting since first of May...

Do any admins watch this forum? I'm not even really concerned about the ads, I just donated to help support the site, but it seems strange that there's no communication on this issue

I just sent a message to someone within the hierarchy who was able to help me with a problem I had here recently to see if he could get someone to respond to the many inquiries here....keeping my fingers crossed.

If that doesn't work I do know of someone ever higher up who has also been of help in the past.

Hey guys, I'm having the site tech look into the issue. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
