I got an email on 4/3 that my (charter) membership was about to expire, so I immediately renewed it via PayPal. I got the receipt from PayPal today which shows a 4/3 transaction date.

But I notice today that my title has reverted back to “Member.” Can that be fixed? I don’t remember what my expiration date was, but it was after 4/3 when I re-upped.

I do hope you chose the “renew until the end of time plus one year” option.

It’s the only way to be sure.
