Here’s a repository for people who subscribed, but the status is still Member. I can provide an order number or whatever information you need for mine. ---

I’m in this boat, too. ---

Strange. Did you get the “you should subscribe” page before the post window? Maybe you’re getting a freebie because of your membership in the 10K club. 🙂 ---

I’m also impatient. I should’ve waited more than fifteen minutes. Sorry about that. ---

Hmm… It charged my credit card, so no freebie. I have my e-mail receipt, and I encountered no problem in the subscription process. ---

Just adding a me-too…paid via PayPal, got an email receipt, still says Member. ---

Your "Location: " field and post count are displayed, so it had to have processed your subscription on _some_ level–people who haven’t registered aren’t getting those displayed. ---

The location field on mine is blank on my screen. I’m presently reviewing the settings, and I see that some of them have changed. E-mail from admins, for example, used to be checked. Now, it is unchecked. I used to use the other format, and now it’s back to the default. I’m trying to see whether I can set it all back. ---

Just adding my name to this list as well - in case the admins will use this as a list (I don’t wish to e-mail them about it first day before giving them a chance to correct any bugs). FWIW, I paid with a credit card, but via paypal. I have my receipt. ---

Everyone in this thread now says “Charter Member” except me. I even tried logging out and logging back in to reset my cookie. :😭: I’m unloved! ---

Mine is fixed. I e-mailed Gaudere, and she had it fixed in no time. 🙂 ---

Looks like there’s a delay processing the member status for some people? I am (was?) in this boat as well. ---

For Libertarian, Jadis, and vix I noticed that your user account had a custom title turned on with a value of Member. I edited your user account so that you will be using the default Charter Member title for subscribed users. This may happen for a number of other users as well. If it happens to you please post to this thread and one of the Administrators will resolve the problem. Jerry ---
