Getting mail saying my subscription is ending...

…but it’s still got another year to go. Something buggy with multi-year subscriptions?

Never mind, it’s just a very badly worded message that conflates “Charter member” with “Custom title” and tells me (incorrectly, I assume) that when my custom title expires I’ll revert to guest status.


Dear TimeWinder,

Your access to the paid subscription “Custom Title Charter Subscription” is about to expire.

To renew this subscription you must visit https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/payments.php

If you do not extend your subscription you will revert to Guest status. As a Guest you’ll be shown banner advertising and will lose some of the privileges of your current membership status.

All the best,
