I are confoozed... I clicked there and it told me this:

Subscription Title ............. Start Date ......... Expiry Date
Annual Premium Upgrade .....06-24-2008 ....... 12-23-2008

Does that mean that I don't have to renew my premium subscription until December 2008? Cos I'm pretty sure it should have expired in June (June 26, to be exact), since my paypal shows that I paid last on June 26, 2007.

I'm happy to pay again now, just a tad confuzzled... maybe there was a typo or something?

That is correct. I forgot that I actually gave all upgraded members a 6 month bonus (to compensate for the change in the premium offering. I thought it was 3 months but I guess it was actually 6! So enjoy the extra bonus time and thanks for being so cool about the changes made to the premium offer. We tried to bring some more value to upgrading while opening up some features for non-premiums to keep trying to do more for all our members.

I just wanted to elaborate on this. If you were premium and your premium expires, you shouldn't lose your pm's but you will not be able to receive any pm's if you have more than 25 in your box. I believe sent messages count toward the limit as well.

Thanks, Andy, that is very kind!

I am curious how the new payment system works... will we receive a notice when our Premium subscription is about to expire? And is it still a monthly invoice, or is at a yearly, all at once payment system? I'm afraid I'll never remember come December that I have to "re-up"!

It will be yearly now, no more monthly.

Thanks, Sicy!

FYI I've upgraded the Premium Membership FAQs thread with some information regarding paying for premium for other members. It has to be done a certain way now.

Can I pay for premium membership for another member?
If you'd like to purchase premium membership for another member, please to not use the payment link as this will just upgrade your own account for another year. You must send a payment manually to paypal[at]socialknowledge.net and include the username of the member you wish to pay for. Then pm Sicy or Andy with the paypal transaction ID number/details and member name so that we can properly update the subscriptions.
