I just renewed my membership - the new expiration date is May 19, 2011. Yet I am seeing ads even though I am logged in. This wasn’t happening before I renewed.

Is this happening to anyone else?

You purchased a Custom Title, but you did not renew your subscription.

You need to renew your subscription.

I’ve given you a couple of days of grace here but you really need to catch this up as soon as you can, please.
