Just wondering how long it takes for the membership to upgrade typically. It has only been a few hours since I paid, should it take a few days, or weeks? I am not meaning to be snarky, just asking. Thanks.

Been a few days...

I purchased premium membership a couple days ago and haven't been upgraded yet. Thought I'd use this thread to check in.

Perhaps some wording in the sub-forum description should be added to let user know that matters of certain things should be reported that way.

Or maybe a Sticky with the title in bold print.

For the most part, tech issues can be sorted here. The contact us button is there for users to contact admin directly if their issue is more personal- such as for membership questions where I need to see receipt information- it keeps things more private.

Is it “normal” for a premium subscription to take a few days to become effective?

If so, you may want to make that known in the signup process/page.

This is what I probably should have asked. I didn't want say I have an issue if all I need to do is be more patient. Not like I need premium membership ASAP or anything.

It is not normal for it to take a few days. It should kick in immediately. What is indicating that it isn't kicking in?

There have been several users recently posting about their new premium membership not being effective, so that was just a suspicion on my part, that maybe a new "trial" Premium membership may not be immediately effective. It was just a guess based on recent observations.

It's definitely a strange situation. It is most likely an issue of the payment not getting processed quick enough- either from our site, PayPal, or the user's bank. Those that were having the issue now have an active membership though.
