I still have a few weeks left on my guest membership, but I don’t think I will be able to afford the fee in time(been on LOA from work and I’m currently battling Ye Olde Insurance Company). Anyway, if I have to let my membership lapse for a few months or so, will I still be able to use the same screenname and everything? ---

Exactly. Only one name per member is the rule. If your guest membership expires, your username and password will be good for a long long time. We almost never purge screen names, in fact. Simply subscribe using this screen name, then log on using the same password you use now. Easy enough. If you have problems, any of the helpful admin or mods will be able to help you. Glad to have you on board, and you’ll be welcome anytime. Rico GQ Moderator ---

While we’re at it, just heard about Count Blucher. He would like to settle up in cash with a kindly Doper who could get him resubscribed; he can’t do this for himself as his subscription has expired. BTW, y’all are the greatest, you really are. ---

[QUOTE=Brainiac4] Call me clueless, but I can’t find the instructions for gifting someone a subscription. Little help here? [/QUOTE] **Rick** lays out the instructions [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=8452657&postcount=90). Since **Count Blucher** ’s subscription has expired, one should use the $14.98 url. I’d do it, but with the move to Ottawa coming up, I’m attempting to stockpile money. ---
