I paid to join. It shows that I paid according to my online bank. It shows that I paid when I access my account page on here and yet I can’t do anything that other paid members do (other than post obviously). I followed the instructions in the activation email too. Whenever I try to access the links in the drop-down menu of username, it says I don’t have access. In fact when I went to post this it said I was a guest, but when I click the link that offers me a permanent subscription, it says I already have one. 😕 ---
