    I went with the lifetime supporter upgrade. Jan. 31, Zen posted this on my profile: "Thanks for supporting the HipForums! Your switch has been flipped and you now have full access :)"

    March 8, and I still don't have access to view the subscriber-only content, which is marked "private," and the line at the bottom of the screen tells me that I have insufficient privileges to post there. I haven't received any reply to the two "contact us" messages I sent between Jan. 31 and today, indicating that I don't have full access and asking if there's another upgrade I have to purchase. I haven't been able to find any additional subscription option under "account upgrades".

    Not exactly inspiring, but then I suppose that mods have a life outside here also, so there's that.

    That email address for the contact thing also doesn't work.

    Writing me here or posting a note gets my attention real fast however.

    Thank you. It's working fine now, switch flipped. I've always viewed this site as being like a family business, and some of the quirkiness and unpredictability is part of its charm. I had a long free ride here, and I'm glad to be a supporter now.

    Walk me through the process to become a paid subscriber? I am a registered Hip forum member many years.

    Thanks for asking!

    Using the desktop site on your laptop or computer, not the mobile version is easier.

    At the top of the page is a button with your name!

    Hover the mouse over it and a menu will pop up with a bunch of options.

    Select ACCOUNT UPGRADES and choose either annual or lifetime membership.

    Clicking either of those takes you to PayPal where you can donate to the HipForums.

    After I get a confirmation email from PayPal I then manually upgrade your account to give you full access.

    I hope that helps, and we thank you in advance for your helping us!

    I just became a Hips Forum Supporter. I wanted to explore this level before I committed to a Lifetime one.

    I used PayPal and it is under my business e-mail and not the one I use here.

    Does this level allow me the Subscriber perks? I cannot access any of those places as it stated I do not have the privilege.

    Thank you!!

    I think it is Zen who has to be patient around here Gal.:hearteyes:
    And some people would try the patience of a Saint.
    Not me of course! :tonguewink: :laughing:

    Thank you for all you do around this forum.
    Saint Zen! :laughing:

    I don't mind the $20 but did the subscriber wall kill all activity in those forums? I'm also maybe a fuddy duddy in believing forums are for discussion and hardcore pix are for porn sites, and turning into a porn site likely isn't great for the spirit of HF. Also I can't use paypal: is there someplace I can just send $20? And can anyone with access take a look at those closed forums to see if they are as active as they used to be?

    It seems like forums everywhere are dying because of reddit. People tell me facebook is also responsible but I never look at that site so don't know.

    Actually, the subscription was set up to help keep HIP going.
    True forums are struggling.

    As you are a loyal member.
    I will let Zen answer this more fully.

    I really enjoy the variety and thoughts on hip forums. Lifetime supporter seems like a very, very modest price for such a site. Would it be possible to set up an easy process to provide support beyond the lifetime level? Really don’t need new banner recognition but would hate to see problems for hip because of $.
