I hope someone can help me. I’m not talking about thread subscriptions; how do I check to see if my Straight Dope member subscription is current and if not, how to re-enlist? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Click on User CP (top left of screen), then Paid Subscriptions (bottom of list under Your Control Panel at the left). It should give your Expiry Date.

As a fellow Charter Member, I can say that unless you absolutely KNOW that last year you bought a multi-year subscription, you’re coming due for a renewal THIS MONTH at the latest.

I’m pretty sure. ISTR that in 2018, I could have bought a three-year renewal, but my brain might be making that up. Anyway, my inbox got the warning email some time within the last week, so I dealt with it. If you didn’t get such an email, you might want to look into that as well.
