I signed up for a month trail on 10/03/09 but got so frustrated not being able to access all the site that I've just subscribed to full membership and paid instantly by Paypal. I know I'm being impatient but can anyone tell me how long I'll have to wait before my membership is active?
Thank you, Mand

anywhere from an hour to twenty-four, as far as I remember. I renewed a couple of months back and it took a little longer.

I think it was about a day for me, too, but sometimes it can be a lot quicker. It's a manual upgrade, so I guess it depends on whether Admin are awake.

You're showing as a full member now, Mand (Yay!)

If you still can't access the PM and Lounge forums, log out and then log back in again. That should do it.

Thanks all! I'm going to take an hour or two out this morning to explore the site!
