Terry,

call me stupid, or old fashioned, but I refuse to pay via internet.

Isn't there any account you can give me so I can transfer the money on the old-fashioned way?

thanx

I'll probably set an address shortly where old fashioned checks can be sent -- stay tuned! I know that some people aren't comfortable yet with online payments.

Unfortunately Terry I am not going to be able to play properly until the weekend as I am currently without a computer (I mistook the monitor for a plant and watered it - as you do). (And yes, I am using a computer now, but it's somebody else's!)

Come Saturday though, you may count on me giving all the options a go! I can't wait!

Hi Terry: I became a gold member today and I love the new stats. A few things are not working yet, though. I can't get to the stats re. how players are doing in individual categories, and a lot of the special buttons tell me "sorry, this is a gold member feature." I imagine you still have kinks to work out. I don't have checkmarks for already-done quizzes, either. However, you are welcome to the $20 since I've played so long for free. Love, Robyn

Hi roby,

The system says that you are a gold member so you should be set. Note that you will have to log out and log in again for the gold membership stuff to appear for you. Try closing your browser and then reopening it, and then going to the member's section. You should be all set! Thanks for your support!

Terry

Hi Terry:
Yes! You're right! Just about everything is working now! Only things on my wish list now are: update the most popular authors and voted best authors lists more often. I love it! It's totally worth the money. Love, Robyn

Terry I don't have a cheque account or credit cards - I only pay by money orders, when in the future will money orders be available?
And do you or anyone know a site where I can find out the difference between Australian and American money?

Thanks.

Hi Terry: In the category A-Z Words under Vocabulary under English under Humanities, there are not best player stats. Will you be adding those? Thanks, Robyn

hey robyn,

Right now category stats are displayed for categories that have no subcategories. Since a-z has subcategories "a-m" and "m-z", the a-z category does not have stats. But if you go into each of a-m and m-z you will find stats for those categories.

Ok robyn,

I have redone the gold member statistics per category. Now you can see the statistics for any category. However, the statistics only show gold members now.

Hmm actually, maybe I should include both versions.

Most banks should be able to draft a USD money order and handle the conversion, etc.

Actually, that's probably better *getting the money order in USD) as some banks charge for conversion.

Yay! I just now signed up. The two features I've tried out already (showing quizzes already taken in the quizlist and my stats by category) look great!

Will we get notices to re-subscribe at the end of the 6 months?

I signed up for Gold membership yesterday but see no change as of today. I logged off and shut down my computer in between then and now. Do you show me on your records? The PayPal process seemed to go OK.

Hi root,

Nothing in either paypal or the FT system indicate that you have signed up. Did you receive a receipt by email? It doesn't look like your transaction completed.

I debated with myself if I wanted to become a goldmember. Then tonight, I realized I wasn't getting the note telling me I had already played a quiz. Debate over, I'm in (as Ms. Lady) . I like the new features. I think it's well worth $20. Thanks Terry
