Hey folks,

FunTrivia Gold Membership is now available!

For only $20 for a 6 month subscription, you can get a set of cool new features including check-marks beside quizzes you have played and no banner ads/pop-ups.

Payment is performed through PayPal, and we currently accept major credit cards and PayPal's eChecks (for those who dont have a credit card but do have a checking account).

Go to the following URL for details and sign-up options:

I hope you enjoy it!

Regards,
Terry

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.

Terry

Yay! I've got a gold star! Excellent stuff Terry, thanks for arranging it!

Thank you for signing up How are you liking it so far? Is it all looking good?

This is a wonderful idea!!! As soon as you get the address set up I will send a check your way!

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

Glad to hear you're all set Those two pages are actually on my to-do list. They will be updated at the very least weekly.

Terry

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.

Terry

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.

Terry

Money orders via mail are now being accepted as a form of payment.

More information can be found at http://www.funtrivia.com/gold.cfm

Just signed up, Gold membership is great, thanks Terry

Pinfire,

Try this site

Current rate is $37.33 Aussie dollars.

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

Terry

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?

Glad you like it!

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

Yep. a week or so before the system will send out an automated email.

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.

Terry

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
