hey I have a question.. I have 15 days to renew, which isn't costly as we all know. but I was wondering if your not a paid member what do you miss out on vs is you are a paid member? I don't really do the challenges, well I do But I don't submit them I just use it as something to go out and do. So I wanted to know if i really need to renew it or if it was something I could hold off on, untill I had the extra money to spend in here then i will def. pay again to help pay my part to keep this site going, because I truely love it! |

The main things are:
- Your portfolio (no portfolio for registered users)
- Access to Member Challenges
- Access to the Member sections of the Forums
Although you portfolio will not be accessible after your membership expires, when you re-up, it will still be there. |

Actually no he didn't. There are registered users and members on this site plus the site council and administrator. ;o) |

Plus you get a blue outfit to wear (next to your name) rather than a grey one. And I believe the update button exists for members only, so if you are addicted to that then you better shell out the money. |

It is rather confusing isn't it? LOL
In other words, you won't be able to upload your photos to a portfolio here on DPC because you won't have one as a registered user. Only members have portfolios. :)
Go to your preferences and poke around. You will see that you can have the update your scores button show on your home page when you are entered into a challenge. It is rather addictive :)
It's here:
My Preferences
Site Preferences
My Home Preferences
Recent Forum Activity Threads
Max 30. 0 = Off. Number of thread links displayed.
My Scores
Show scores and comments for my submissions during voting week. <------------ There is a box next to this that needs to be checked in order for your update button to show on your homepage when you enter a challenge.
Hope this helps LOL!!

Okay, thanks I didn't realize i could do it month to month too.. I know 25 dollars isn't much but when i'm shelling out around 1,000-3,000 a month in legal fees... 25.00 gets spent where it NEEDS to go first then where it can go... know what i mean.. those fellow gals out here with a "sperm donor" know what i'm talking about when the child support and custody battle's start.. |

I wasn't a paying member for a couple years for a church service and found that all my DPC Print sales were still there. Coolness. |

You had a church service that lasted two years. Wow, and I thought my preacher was long-winded.
(Just kidding -- I'm assuming you are a Mormon and you were doing your two year mission?) |

I don't think you can add or change stuff at DPC Prints, because that is handled through the DPC Portfolio Manager, which will become de-activated when/if your membership lapses.
I don't know if people can still buy prints or if you can collect/redeem your money if you have an inactive membership -- you'll need to send an Administrative Ticket directly to Langdon to answer those -- but my *guess* is "no" and "yes" respectively. |
