Folks,
as many of you are aware, we are dealing with a couple of related issues on the administrative end having to with submitted membership payments being rejected because of attempts we have made to institute a more secure authentication procedure to protect ourselves from "spoofing" accounts (rafts and rafts of them) that seemed to have bypassed normal protections and "presented" as paid accounts although they actually were not.
I'm not a programmer-wonk and I can't speak to this in any detail, so don't read the above too literally, please. But the bottom line is, payments for renewals and new memberships are not going through. Mita has been plugging in free, 1-month extensions to these renewals whilst he and his team try to solve the problem, but it is going to take a while.
So, as of now, any attempts to renew your paid memberships will result in an automatic extension as described above, AND any new signups will essentially be getting a free month of membership :-)
If you're on the fence about becoming a paid member, here's your chance to give it a whirl :-) |

Thanks for the heads up.
But it also reminds me that I won a fee subscription awhile ago. If anyone is in need, I’m happy to donate it. Or if there’s anyone who knows someone who might want it, I hear by donate it to a good cause. Just contact Bear. |

| Are there still problems, or is it just on my side? |

It's a site problem which is yet to be resolved -- there should be a follow-up announcement when it is. |

Thank you, great, I just wasn't sure if it was now on my side and I just assumed it was DPC's problem .... |

| Had trouble too... I think I will wait for a few days longer before I try to renew... mita graciously extended a month. |
