"We regret to inform you that your membership has expired... "

I have been watching the remaining days of my membership count down for a while. With the midnight deadline looming yesterday, I finally pulled out my credit card. What? You thought I was just planning to quit cold turkey? It's a sick, sick addiction. Anyway, I filled out the renewal form and payment info and hit Submit. It came back with "Server Error 500". I scratched my head, double-checked the information on the form, and resubmitted. Same result. I sent an Administrative Inquiry. A few hours later, I tried submitting again. No luck. Again, this morning. Again, the dreaded "Server Error 500".

I am starting to think this site doesn't want me anymore. I had a WALL entry submitted, and I was not sure what would happen to it if my membership expired right when voting was scheduled to start. I thought it might withdraw my image. Just my luck it didn't. It's at 3.8 after 7 votes. And, I have to wait for HOURLY score updates. that's just mean.

One good thing about these kinds of threads...I renew the day before, & more importantly, I don't even consider not renewing. I've heard about the addiction effect, I think it's true!

I enjoy your work, I'm glad you're renewing. Hope the server error is resolved today.

I think they should give you a free membership:)

Apparently you are no longer needed! :-)

As I mentioned, I had tried submitting for renewal a few times. I had just assumed each time I got the Server Error that the credit card transaction had no gone through. I just happened to check my credit card activity. Yes, there are six DPChallenge charged on it. I may well still be submitting to challenges in 2022, but I am not sure I am ready to commit to that right now.

wow, you were certainly persistent!
Glad you renewed, markwiley. You and your photography would have been missed.

It is all getting sorted out. You all will be stuck with me for another year at least.

Clearly the DPChallenge universe wants you to be around for a long, long time. Very glad you are staying. I enjoy your photography very much.

I had the same problem. I attempted several times with 3 credit cards. if every time I introduced my card data the transaction was completed, can you cancel them?

That's a question that belongs in an "Administrative Inquiry" ticket, which goes directly to Langdon, OK?

I'm glad you have recommitted Mark.
The only thing that gives me pause when approaching renewal is hoping for a good exchange rate on the day.

Glad you got it sorted Mark. Like others have said I would really miss your photography. And you obviously have to beat Anita this year in the points and ribbons too:)
