My subscription is able to expire soon. but for the moment I can’t cough up the dough (The payment for one of my freelance project isn’t in at the moment, for once). Will there be a problem if I try to resubscribe later? ---

Not at all. Just make sure you resubscribe under the same name. Don’t create a new one. If you wish to change your name after you resubscribe, e-mail [tubadiva@aol.com](mailto:tubadiva@aol.com) with your request. See you real soon! Don’t forget to write! We’ll miss you while you’re gone! Rico GQ Moderator For the SDMB ---

Well I tried to do this via e-mail, but yours is not availible. If you would like I can pay yours now and you can get mine next april. ---

The only problem is that you will have no posting privileges until you do resubscribe. You also won’t be able to use the search function. Hope you and askeptic work this out, that would be great. ---

Note that since **ExtraKun** is a member, not a charter member, this doesn’t matter, but a charter member who lapses for any amount of time becomes a member, and therefore has to pay regular price. ---

Note that if he wants to be able to keep posting and searching it kinda does matter.
