NS Gold Membership

(You can find these memberships in your UserCP, under Miscellaneous and then Paid Subscriptions)

NS Gold Membership is a special membership here on NS. NS Gold Membership was created so that NS could raise some money for site expenses (not that the donations haven't helped or that we don't appreciate them, because we do :)). When you sign up for NS Gold Membership (and payment is in order) you get this:

• You may upload your own personal avatars (the forum rules still apply: max 15kb, 100x100 pixels)
• You may upload your own personal photo (max 20kb, 150x180 pixels)
• You may store up to 200 personal messages (PMs)*
• You may send the same personal message to 10 people at once
• Ad-free board!

Prices are:

NS Gold Membership - Monthly Subcription: $5 USD a month
NS Gold Membership - Yearly Subcription: $50 USD a year

(All payments are through Paypal, so you need either a credit card, or a paypal account, this is to make it easy and secure :))


* If you have up to 200 PMs stored, and you don't update your subscription, you will not lose your PMs, but you won't be able to recieve any new PMs before you have deleted most of them.


If there are any questions on this, don't hesitate to ask :)

If you should have any problems with this, contact me (Julie) and I'll do my best to fix it, and if it's not fixable, refund your money :)

Sounds good Jules :) just wondering, How many PMs can be stored without the gold membership?

I'm gonna sign up the second I have the money...and I get my credit card setup I start Monday with a new job...should only be a pay check or two! Jules you thinking of maybe doing a fund drive? Like every one who can give a dollar? Its surprising how much can be raised by doing that.

Hehe, thanks :) And we will continue to feed your addiction as long as the folks wants NS ;)

Woohoo, me just joined!

Thanks Donutte :D Your name looks good in gold, huh ? ;)

*hehehe*

I guess this makes me.... CuervoGold :yeahbaby:

Mmmmmm does that make you drinkable? *evil grin*

Okay... well I'm pretty certain I just signed up for it... but I ain't sure... it kept saying I hadn't filled something in, so I clicked the link a few times...

yeah okay it has worked, cause I can now use a custom avatar.

Thanks :) Your name's now all gold and shiny ;) But, I must ask you to remove on of your signature images, as both of them together are larger than what the rules allow :)

okiely dokiely... is this better?

Yes, much better :)

ooo crappers, somebody remind me next week to renew my subscription, cause I don't want my little mischa icon to go away:P

Jen, if you've registered a real e-mail address, you will recieve an e-mail from us (automatic e-mail) informing you that you need to update your subcription soon if you want to continue having the gold membership :) I also think it tells you what you have to do etc :)

Jules

Oh wow, that's cool!

The wonders of vBulletin ;)

Sucks to live in Bdos and not have a credit card. :(

hey jules, how do I do my own avatar?


Thanks,

CC

CC, you'll need a graphic programme to make avatars. Try looking in the Arts section, and ask there :) Or you can just take an avatar from the NS Gallery, save it to your harddrive, and then upload it here in your UserCP :)

Jules,

Great idea on the memberships. I just signed up for gold because I love this site and the work everyone contributes.

Cool :) Thanks for joining up! And I am working on the ad-free-ness! Just... Damn real life! Hehe!

*wanders in confusedly* :nono:
Dude. All of a sudden this message popped up at the top of my screen, stating when my last visit was and stuff and for a brief second I thought it was big brother taking me to task for goofing off on the job. Whew! It's just an ad-lib for the advertisements. That was close. :grin2:

Haha, I'm sorry, I'm just trying to work this ad-free board thing out, but it's not really working!

hey jules i have one but i'm not sure how to load it to my userCP

CC - User CP, Edit avatars - at the bottom there's a place to either put in the host url of an image, or a browse button to upload directly from your computer. Unfortunately, it's very picky about size... :wth:

Hmm mine doesn't have that just lets me pick from the ones already there......

Does your PM allow 200? If not, Julie may have to make the necessary changes to make you a Gold member...or whatever you are that allows you to have your own avi. Could be a technical problem....of sorts...

CC, have you signed up for a silver/gold membership? Because in order to upload/enter an url you need to have signed up for a membership. If you have signed up, and I'm just completely blond here, let me know and I'll look it up :)

Just a little info on that, when you sign up for a silver/gold membership, as soon as the payment is in order (gone through paypal etc), you will automatically get the right accesses (I don't know if the board does this hourly or what though). The only thing I do on my end (if everything goes smoothly) is make the name gold, just incase the person doesn't know how to do it her/himself (You go into your UserCP, Group Memberships, and then choose identify me as a member of X group). :)

Yeah I got a gold membership on friday the 23 for the month... I just did it for one month this month and then next month I'll do it for the yr... I have a copy of my payment if u want to see it.. it would have come to you as Courtney Cecil..... by the way i did do it on paypal...


CC

Hm, then it's odd... I'm looking in Paypal and I see you've made a payment... Hang on, I'll fix it ;) Sorry about this!

Edit: That's veryvery odd! I checked Paypal first, and the payment was there and had gone through the board (some tags I can see). Then I checked the AdminCP in the subscription manager, and you weren't there :S

Well, I've manually added you now :) You've got Gold Membership monthly, from Sept 30th (today) until October 30th. Again, sorry about this. I have no idea why it didn't go through by itself. Perhaps the board/site went offline for a second while you were processing through PayPal, I have no idea... But you're up and running now! :)

It's ok Jules I know things can be funny sometimes.. No big worries.... Thanks for fixing it....


(see my new pretty avatar)



CC

Out of curiosity, why do I not show as a Gold Member anymore? I know I'm not around here so often *hangs head in shame*... Is that why?

You need to go to User CP; Member Groups and set your group list thingamabobber. :blinkkiss

Schpank you, sweets... I didn't see that "thingamabobber" (lol) there yesterday... :)

Hey Julie,

Not that it matters that much to me if my name shows up gold, but did my Gold membership go away, did I need to renew it?? Just want to make sure I am supporting that which feeds my addiction.

Hey,

I looked in the AdminCP, and you're still active on the gold membership. You purchased your yearly subscription on 12th June 2005, and it then expires 12th June 2006. :) I've made your name gold now, but if you want to have it not gold, just go into your UserCP, then group memberships, and choose to be identified by the regular group, or the gold group! :)

Thanks Julie!!!

New feature as of Feb 9th; QuickClips

Just signed up for a gold membership. :D

This board is great, and am always happy to help! :D

:D

Thank you Jennifer :)

Julie thanks for reminding me about my membership expiring. I sent the required payment but do I have to actually order the membership under paid subscriptions?

I'm not 100% sure how that process works, but I'll check the paypal activity, and if you've paid and don't have the correct membership, I'll manually add it for you :)

Edit: I think you have to go via the NS page here, but I've added the subscription manually now :)

Thanks Julie :)
