    ...I'd like to add that when members find that they cannot gift me a subscription, my PayPal details are available on request.

    You're welcome.

    It may be related to the fact that we only just set up our account for this recently or that we’re in Australia perhaps but it gave me the bank account option when I tested just now

    Great idea and more than happy to help. The ads were a little annoying too. Great work guys.

    The account itself has been around for a long time with all of the verifications and limits raised. Maybe they don't like Aussies :)

    It is a conspiracy and evidence of yet more bullying from Google and the Military Industrial Complex/Illuminati on plucky Aus.

    In other news, I was offered options for PP and payment directly by card (handled by PP) of any kind so it works ok from the UK. I was able to choose currency so didn't get hit by PP's ungenerous exchange rate.

    Thanks for this guys. I love scrolling without ads. I hope the subscription and ad serving model provides the funds you need to keep this site evolving in the right direction.

    Quite frankly, I'm now seeing more relevant ads....our internet overlords are learning quickly.

    I've clicked on quite a few of them actually, especially the ebay listings.

    Talk about a constellation, get ads for constellations for sale. Pretty neato.

    I'm keeping the ads...

    For me if Google cannot find a make of watch in the thread it defaults to Leica cameras! Nooooo :eek: How do Google know? I thought I'd kicked the Leica habit years ago :mad:

    and it paid off!

    So now you have to ask, did the mods do this just to spite you?

    Being serious for a moment: has anyone ever seen @Foo2rama and @JwRosenthal in the same room at the same time?

    I don't understand what is going on really.
    I'm in tier 2 but have paid nothing, happy to do so of course.
    What do I need to do?
    Cheers, Michael.
