I entered my credit card information, hit submit, then waited several minutes for the next screen to load. (I’m on high speed, btw).

When it was done, there was just a blank screen. I’ve tried to e-mail Tuba Diva or C Dexter directly, but I’m told I don’t have access to the screen. I know it takes a while to process the information, so I don’t know if the subscription request went through or not.

Can a mod e-mail me and let me know what I need to do?

If you didn’t get a confirmation email, then it’s a pretty good bet it wasn’t processed. You can also check with your CC company and see if the charge went through on their end.

I just anted to say that this happened to me too; although, when I went to post this, I got that message that says “Your guest membership expires 21 April. To subscribe click here, to continue without subscribing click here.” So I guess that answers my question.  
(I too have as high speed connection, but I will wait a day for a confirmation email before emailing tubadiva)

**Tuba Diva** said it didn’t take, so I shall try again.

I used the credit card option instead of PayPal. Could that have something to do with it?
