My forum subscription is almost due and I can’t find how to pay it. Any help in locating the right link appreciated. ---

There’s no link. TPTB are aware and right now, there appears to be no plan. ---

Please see this thread: > [@How to Renew My Subscription?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-to-renew-my-subscription/912862/56): > > The bad news is that the subscription / membership system is still not working. The good news is that the subscription / membership system is still not working, so the Member and Charter Member user groups remain intact and there’s no working system to remove anyone from them. If you were a member or charter member before the software change, your name is still in the appropriate user group. You don’t need to worry about your membership expiring. ---

The subscription system did not port over when we changed software. It’s on the list of things that need to be fixed. I do not presently have a time frame for when it will be addressed. The Member and Charter Member user groups ported over from the old system and they are still intact, and since we don’t currently have a working subscription system, there is nothing to remove you from the user group. You do not need to be worried about your membership expiring. If you want more info, see this thread: > [@How to Renew My Subscription?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-to-renew-my-subscription/912862/): > > Finally on the new site, logged in. How do I renew my subscription? Email from SDMB (today) says do it here [https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/payments.php](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/payments.php) but that takes me to “OOPS! That page doesn’t exist.” Help! I say, Help! Since this is discussed in the other thread, I will close this and direct further comments to that thread. ---
