Ilsa, thanks a lot. That’s very clear. One more question if a mod is lurking. My guest membership expires on 17 July (tomorrow for most of us). I’ll be on holiday for a fortnight from the 19th.
Can I pay when I return (3 August) so that my sub will run for a year from THEN? (Or does it run from when the guest membership expires? In which case I’ll sign up immediately upon expiration.)
Apologies to everyone whose hopes have been dashed by this thread.
Here’s another oddity, possibly related: Just a few minutes ago, I saw a poster who was listed as a Charter Member, but had no post count or location displayed, just a join date. Aren’t those supposed to go hand in hand?
