I'm the same. I wont risk my details in the event of a problem with PayPal. With them, you never know what's coming. When it's absolutely neccessary to use a CC, I use my other account.
The benefits of the premium membership are listed in the first post of this thread (or on http://forums.digitalpoint.com/payments.php ). I added a 12 and 6 month, non-recurring option with a $5 premium.
What I asked was about the content of private forum. Will it be a Buy/Sell forum or Knowledge sharing one? Thanks Blog.
Knowledge... would be kind of counter-productive to have a B/S/T area that only premium members could be buyers I would think.
I am also the same when it has to do with business transactions I use 2Checkout they accept Paypal and Credit cards and do their own fraud check if it gets past mine at least they will catch it. It was getting to the point It was screwing with my head because my Paypal was Negative 100ish $$ like when someone bought a Server off me and used a stolen cc so I was screwed twice once for the cost of the server and I had to pay PayPal back.
How many members have signed up? is there a list that we can see? How about a print screen of the new section? Thanks Brian
DP doesn't show a member list, so i doubt you'll see a list of that group. premium members have bold user titles, you can identify them that way. the new section is just another board here, just sorta empty at the moment.
I think it's a solid idea and a way for all of us to show support to the forum. Thanks for the heads up, I'll be buying into it soon.
First addition after the fact... Premium Member's marketplace threads are shown as a different color in the forum listing for that section.
Sounds Like a brilliant idea , I like the phone validation thing . In this way we can keep track of the user location !! I'll get membership in a bit !! Thanks !!
Did this option take down the 4 allowed signature space for normal members to 2? Because i have had to edit my signature to only 2 as that's all it's let me, and there's alot of others who have their sigs broken due to this :S.
