Discuss subscription system here

[Basil]

I just posted a "global" announcement which shows up in all forums regarding a major flaw in the subscription system software. Since members can't reply in global announcements, I've created this thread in case you have questions or comments.

My goodness that explains alot. When I received the notice, I followed it with a reply apologizing for my letting it lapse (I didn't know it had expired). When my reply went un-acknowledged, my thoughts were "that's a little cold". Now it all makes sense.
My suggestion: Have the notice sent a week or so before the expiration - arriving as a reminder that soon it's time to re-up.

That's a good suggestion, but it would require a modification to the software internally to do it. Possible, but not necessarily easy.

I worked with a guy that always said, "It is a computer, you can make it do anything. All it takes is time." You have to decide if it is worth the work. I think most of us will re-up as soon as we see the PM.

I wonder if there is an easy way to make each subscription a calendar event. IIRC the calendar sends out reminders, doesn't it?

A alternate payment option would help here. My EBAY\PayPal accounts have been closed due to scams\fraud.
