...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.

I had the same issue. Also realized I had to update my card.
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.

Just wanted to thank the kind soul who anonymously upgraded me to Omega 2...I am always heartened to see the goodness in our members that comes out in situations like this!
And a big THANK YOU to the mods for bringing this to reality!!

+1 ! Big thanks to @dsio and @Trev for making this work, and I've upgraded my account too - we've got a great community here!

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.

Agreed. If you need another infusion to right the ship- let us know.

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 😲 How do Google know? I thought I'd kicked the Leica habit years ago 😡

I looked to see if I could upgrade you but that feature is unavailable.
For now you are restricted to the Seiko thread which is not a real sub-forum as they are second class citizens, you can read only in the Rolex Sub-forum and don’t even think about the UG sub-forum- you’re computer will ignite followed by laughter.


It's real now!



and it paid off!

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

Or was it all part of my master plan?!?!

This made me laugh immediately

Here's a short video I found of both @JwRosenthal and @Foo2rama 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.
