Not sure what the plan is on selling these things. I can't even find where to upgrade. I wouldn't even know about it if it weren't for the hubbub around the 1st of the year. Any help?
Is there a list of benefits and price somewhere?

Okay, I clicked a hat and saw the features. The paypal cart is broken, however... server error.

That's what I found. When you click on "Pay using Paypal" (the only option) it says:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@paypal.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

PayPal may have been temporarily down. I just tried and it took me to the PayPal payment page after a few seconds.

Yeah, it's working now. Thanks! :banana:
The premium membership should be easier to locate.

paypal had about a 4 hour outage yesterday, which probably accounted for the issue of it not working.

The only reason to get one is the avatar. And you get access to the yawn-tastic premium members forum!

Welcome, Thor! There are several unspoken premium rules. I'm sure you'll learn those as you go along.

So access to one's full posting history-- the feature I want most (though the avatar would be a nice touch)-- still has not been implemented?

you can see all your posts, just click on your name and then click on the "Find More Posts by X". Of course, if the posts have been expunged from the system, then those are gone...

It only goes back 500 posts, unless that's been changed for Premium members.

No offense, but the Premium Membership sure got lame quick.

LOL yeah, finding out about the Premium Membership takes a bit of searching. I check it out every six months or so, hoping for another coupon. $20 is just a bit too much since all I want is the avatar.

Haha, well I already made back all of my money and then a lot more on the contests I've won. The less premium members the more chance to win prizes.

I wondered where all the contests had gone. That really sucks. Not for you, Moopher, but for those of us who don't see any other advantage to the "Preemie Club".

What about the rumored adult (mature) forum and the special DVD bargain forums only available to premium members? Must have all been made up.

well, there isn't an XXX sub-forum within the Premium, but there is an XXX thread. Also, there isn't a special DVD bargain forum, but there is a Premium members only Deals thread.

I thought it was lame to begin with. I also thought that they were supposed to add more features as time went on. Am I imagining that, or are they just dragging their feet?

it's a perk of the premium membership, but no, you're not paying for porn.
