• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I can't post any classifieds

I paid for the subscribtion and I'm not able to post in any of the classified sections. What am I doing wrong? I thought it said that by paying for the "C" package that you could post in the classified section. I am trying to put by baby beardies up for sael. please let me know,

thanks,

You are still shown as a registered member not a contributor. The process is usually automatic. Did you click the "order" button in your user CP and follow the steps? Or, did you just randomly send the payment to Fauna from paypal?
 
well I clicked the order button it brought me right to paypal and then I clicked continue and everything was processed form there. I looked in my paypal account and its there. Another thing though is that I payed through my moms. I just always go under her name for paypal is that the problem, because if it is I can just set up an account under her name?
 
as you see I've already created this account and so yeah whats up with this? I followed all the steps. I just didn't know because of there being a different e-mail address if thats why, so thats why I have set this accoutn up.
 
Did you use direct payment, credit card, or e-check? If e-check, it takes several days for that payment to clear, and your purchase will not go through until it has.
(just a thought)
 
This has been taken care of.

Just a FYI for anyone else who may run into this problem: Evidently a new problem has cropped up whereby the subscription plans are sometimes not being automatically updated when payment is made through PayPal. At this point, I'm not sure if the problem is with PayPal or my server, or both. This is a recent situation, so I suspect PayPal is the cause, but my programmer told me that PayPal only tries ONCE to send notices and will not resend them if the first one fails to go through via server lag. So it is possible that the server is the problem, either alone, or via a combination of issues.

Best I can offer anyone at this point is that if the subscription does NOT go through automatically (say in a few hours) contact me so I can look into it. Some do wind up being eChecks which require clearance through the banks and can take 4 business days to complete, however. Nothing I can do about that.....

Not sure I have the stomach to do a server change just to find out if it is the culprit in this situation.........

Sorry about this, but it seems every day brings a new wrinkle to have to deal with.
 
Do to some recent changes at paypal, they just dont post transactions immediatly. takes a short time to see that transaction. :shrug01:
