AIR Stickers & Enhanced Accounts

[silver&gold]

I know they are working on the stickers. I have not received mine yet. I still have a month before hitting the road for a bit. Hope I get before we leave.

Yea! We received our AIR Stickers just a few days before we departed for Baja. Thanks, I knew all along they would be here in time.

Still waiting for mine, but since I'm looking at AT LEAST another two months of renovation...no biggie. Just don't forget about me cuz I want to get honked at once I hit the road!

GREAT FORUM!

Very frustrating! I WANT to donate, but CAN'T. I am not a fan of PayPal, but it looks like it's sending me through PayPal to pay with credit card?? Whassup with that?

You can donate. To do this you must use Pay Pal. If you do not want to use Pay Pal then donation is not possible.

I have had some serious problems with PayPal in the past -

Just now, after a year, request from questionable "PayPal" accounts requesting me to reverify my account number are starting to decline.

I know PayPal has worked for many, but it caused me so much grief that I always revert to Cash, MO's, or direct card payments.

Those emails requesting 'verification of your #' are NOT from Paypal. Paypal will NEVER ask you to verify anything in an email. Don't respond to anything like that EVER. Just delete it. Using online commerce requires you to be smart and savvy regarding the digital crooks. When you are, its as safe as any other credit card transaction.

No kidding. I filed a trouble ticket (AIR #ZGF-284918) on Jan 24; basically:

• I was notified that my upgraded account is due to expire, and renew at http://www.airforums.com/forums/payments.php...
• where I click the order button:
  
• ...resulting in the error:
  
• If I go back and click through to PayPal, it wants me to log in. I have no "account" with PayPal. Last time I was able to pay with CC without setting up an actual PayPal account. I have no intention to ever link a CC with those goofs again...

So. I continued to dialog with the trouble ticket folks for the next several days. The submit form does not allow one to specify a pay amount, but DOES allow one to hit the canned, "PAY $20" button. Viewing the page source shows the option value associated with this button is set to "0_usd":

<option value="0_usd" >US$20</option>

But it just may be that the server-side handler is borked.

I last heard about the trouble ticket was on Jan 30, saying they'll keep me advised.

Just now with the payment page: same result. *sigh*
I'm surprised the payment mechanism is still broken for so long.

Hope the issue gets more attention this way...

Hi John. Yes, it's still broken. The older vBulletin version we are running is stretched beyond its limits with patched on pieces of software. Tech staff is holding us together while making preparations for a significant upgrade. In NASA parlance, a significant "event" took place thirteen days and fourteen hours ago. Technical details and other factors are beyond my ability to comment. I have no doubt that plenty of hair is being pulled over this payment issue. We'll put out notice when we have some news.

Cool, thanks for the update Bob!
I'll keep checking back every now and then

Cheers,

Sorry for the delayed response. I was enroute to Africa. I am here now and will be reviewing the issues. Please try to click to PayPal again and you should be presented an option to login or pay without logging in. If not, it might be an issue with the software that is running the site which is scheduled to be upgraded very soon. Please report back if you can pay without having to login.

Regards,

Andy
