When the SDMB went to paid subscriptions I tried to pay with my credit card, but the site wouldn’t take it for some technical reason. Another doper was kind enough to use her card for me and I payed her back via mail. But that had to be over a year ago. Is she being charged for my renewal? Is there a renewal? She was kind to me, but I forget her username and e-mail. She shouldn’t have to pay a second time.

Renewals are not automatic.
