I am seriously getting pissed off here. Others have gotten their charter membership back, but I still havenā€™t. ETA- Iā€™d like an explanation from somebody other than another poster, please. ---

Well, Ike, have you been paying? Youā€™re not a Member, youā€™re a Guest. (Iā€™m not just another poster. Iā€™m a Pepper! Wouldnā€™t you like to be a Pepper, too?) ---

I have been paid in full since the board went to subscriptions. I changed my user name at the same time we migrated to the new server (I used to be **adam yax** ). Again, Iā€™d like to know why my charter membership has not been restored, since there is no reason I should not have it. ---

Again, Iā€™d like to know why my charter membership has not been restored, since there is no reason I should not have it. Your account isnā€™t showing a subscription at all (much less one that was not paid in time to retain a Charter Member subscriptionā€“which is usually the case), so this is being sent on to Jerry to take a peek at. ---

Again, Iā€™d like to know why my charter membership has not been restored, since there is no reason I should not have it. IN case **Ike** doesnā€™t post again in this thread, he got his title back. It was a weird case of changing names and the software deleted his subscription data. **Jerry** took care of this.

I was a (paid) member but I dropped out for a while. Just recently I started posting again but Iā€™m now a guest. Is the board free now, or do I have to pay to be reinstated as a member? ---

Is the board free now, or do I have to pay to be reinstated as a member? You can now post as an unpaid ā€œguestā€ for as long as you like. If you become a paid member again, you wonā€™t have to look at any ads. ---
