Hi, it's been over 2 years that I have been focusing on french internet marketing and so I wasn't as active as before on this forum. I subscribed to the premium membership since december 2010 to support this forum, but since the end of 2012 I have been less active here as I was busy on french forums and affiliate programs. Nevertheless I let my paypal yearly recurring payment of $125 run because I was regularly planning to come back and keep on using this forum which has been a great help to me the years before. It hasn't happened yet, I'm not yet back to doing mostly english sites. But today what do I notice? I'm not a premium member anymore, don't know why. And I don't know since when because when I do come occasionnally, I don't use it often to remember that premium members have a "PREMIUM MEMBER" banner below their avatar... I check in my profile options and I have the option to subscribe again to be a premium member. But on paypal I see that the recurring payment is still active and has been charged correctly every december of the year since 2010.. So that's kind of a bummer!

Even if this was of no use to me, still.. Oh well, I guess it would be pointless to complain to Shawn or Paypal about it.. Despite the payment made last december for nothing : " Transaction Details Subscription Payment Sent (Unique Transaction ID # 8E512061RE768105S) Business Name: Digital Point Solutions Email: Total amount: -$125,00 USD Date: 12 Dec 2014 Time: 11:38:37 GMT+01:00 Status: Completed Subject: Digital Point Solutions Funding Type: PayPal Balance Funding Source: $125,00 USD - PayPal Account " Bye, I'll keep my account not as a premium member, but at least not paying to not be one. I hope to become active again on this forum, I remember it was fun, much more fun than now on the french forums, I can tell you that! And it's also more profitable to read digitalpoint to know about advances in the internet world. Unfortunately I don't have time to do both or slow down in french IM just now.
Did you by chance have a different username? Old subscriptions created under vBulletin were based on your username. So if it was created in 2010, it would have been vBulletin, but did you also have a different username when you did?
I don't think it is the case. When I first joined in 2006 I had a different username based on my main website at the time, but I paid once to change my username, and only a few years later I did subscribe to the premium membership. That's from memory, but unfortunately it has failed me before. I don't think I changed it again after that first time, but if I did, it would just be another proof that I can't rely on my memory anymore. Thank you for adding the premium member label, I'll feel better until it expires
If you look at the original subscription transaction (it's the one that starts with "S-"), it should tell you in the notes/custom field there what the username was. Was pretty retarded that vBulletin did it based on username rather than user ID.
I don't see any username, or custom field, here's what paypal shows : Subscription Details Subscription # S-9CL99238V86961937 Name: Digital Point Solutions (The recipient of this subscription is Verified) Email: Subscription Date: 12 Dec 2010 Time: 15:03:56 GMT+01:00 Status: Cancelled - By Buyer Date of Cancellation: 28 Mar 2015 Subscription Terms: $125,00 USD for each year Business Contact Information Email: Phone: 858-779-4130 Item Name: Premium Access Subscription Item Number: 2132b0cc50c438517598307f98f3ed81 Shipping Address: No Address Provided
Oh, I see, indeed you were right, I must have felt like taking a new start, I did indeed bought the premium membership 3 minutes before changing my username! If I had done it the way around it would have been fine Premium membership : Total amount: -$125,00 USD Fee amount: $0,00 USD Net amount: -$125,00 USD Date: 12 Dec 2010 Time: 15:03:57 GMT+01:00 Status: Completed Changing username : Item Title: Username Change Subscription Item Number: f6a5e91610886358d88b0c958276eb2b Date: 12 Dec 2010 Time: 15:06:08 GMT+01:00 Status: Completed
