I paid for the membership a couple weeks ago, but I still can't get to the members only features. What am I doing wrong?

Thunderbolt, my name is Rich Jones and I'm the treasurer for ECRA. We received a paypal payment a week or so ago but I had no way to know what forum name it went with. Did you pay with paypal and can you tell me the name on the paypal account? Then I can match you up and get your account turned on to members only access.

Sorry about the confusion.

BTW, you can send me a private message, if you like, so your real name won't be on the forum. My forum name is jonesrw

Thunderbolt,

If you paid by pay pal, outside of the forum, then you were not automatically turned on. If you paid through the "UserCP" with subscriptions, your access would have been granted instantly.

As soon as we know your name, we can turn on your access from the admin side of the forum.

I need to know if you paid by check or pay pal. When you contact me or Rich, let us know your real name and forum name in the same e-mail.

Thanks and welcome aboard!
