    Hi lads,

    I subscribed a few days ago using my paypal account. The money has come out of my bank account but i'm not getting any groups to join by following the instructions from the posts over the last 11 pages. Can anyone help or shed some light on this?
    Cheers.
    What do you see here?

    Hmmm, you're not showing in the subscribers list.

    Best options are to either start a thread on help-desk or drop a pm to one of the community managers - Dav or Darragh.
    Subscribing is normally instant so something must have gone wrong.

    I subscribed to boards over a month ago for 1 month so I could change my avatar. Now that my subscription has ended, my avatar has also disappeared. I thought I'd get to keep my avatar??

    Why can't it just be available to over 18's?

    Because that would do away with half the mods....:D

    Seriously that would be an interesting on to try and administrate.

    This subcription idea implies sex really does sell, has anybody else picked up on that? Strange... In some ways it is good to restrict threads of a ''sexual'' nature, however this ''catholic state'' obviously still has influence as far as I see. Hmmm...

    As for 3v cards, they're great! However if you want a refund for whatever reason it takes 10 working days- 2 weeks!

    How do I do it with a 3V card?

    I don't have a Paypal account....

    Edit: Nevermind I managed.

    Boards.ie website has members from the have on 13 upwards, making the sex and sexuality restricted access was the only way the admins would permit for the forum to be created. Access is linked to subscription as a way to try and ensure only adults have access rather then as a selling point for subscription.

    Quick question,
    If I subscribe for one month (Euro 5) ask/get my username changed/cutom avatar and so forth, will it change back after the month is up?
    Hope thats not a stupid question, I'm sort of regreting my username now. :(

    Opps, found my answer, thanks anyway. Think I'll subscribe now.

    If I subscribe for just one month, am I entitled to the use of a bmail email address?
    And if so, do I only have access to it for the duration of my subscription? I don't want to commit to anything longer than a one-month subscription at the moment.

    i came across a post that says boards have hundreds of private fora. you have whetted my curiosity now....i see some in linked under others usernames that sound interesting, but when i click on them i get told i dont have access.

    do i have to subscribe to find them? or is it invite?
    if i subscribe, does access to these become automatic, or do i have to beg nicely:D
    can i see a list somewhere of the fora names?

    Unfortunately there's no list - private forums (not all) are mainly set up by groups of friends or clubs to chat about stuff so they're invite only.

    I'm in one or two of them but as you say, there are hundreds.

    Subscribing gives you access to the subscribers forum (which, in fairness is pretty boring) and the famous Sharpshooters lounge (which can get interesting at times ;)) and also to the Sex and sexuality forum it that's your thing..
    Subscribing is in no way an 'access all areas pass' if that's what you're asking :)

    You're both still listed as subscribers.

    Are you set to show as a subscriber here?
