Hello folks, just let me just clear something up for people....

Unless someone has changed the settings auto renew will not work and a new 2020 membership needs to be created. Why does auto renew not work?

Simple when it was in place the club decided to give 1 years free membership to people.

The forum has an agreement between you, and Paypal, if you change that agreement as we had to do to give you a free year Membership, it cancels paypal from paying the club direct from your bank, as it should, so you may get a reminder but it won't be paid by default.

This was explained when I handed over the club and a new 2020 membership needed to be created a fresh.

Also some members complained about it auto renewing, despite agreeing to it when they joined, and that caused us issues with PayPal.
Folk were going direct to PayPal and lodging complaints about the club instead of asking the club first. When we knew what happened we could fix it straight away. as it happened PayPal locked access to us causing issues.
So Auto Renew was stopped for 2018 membership, and was turned off so you should not even get the dropdown as an option to pick.

I think more people benefited from auto renew than dislikes it, hence why it was started, but as a small club we could not take the risk of PayPal blocking us due to the complaints.

Currently only 38 people are still on the auto renew account, but it wont renew.
I would suggest the webmaster move all these 38 to the 2019 membership and manually adjust the end date for each one so it works then delete the auto renew one.

Create a new "Auto renew membership" if that's what the membership wants and start again, all new members then have the chance to join that and let the forum sort it out or you have the choice to do it manually.

I hope this has not sounded like a lecture, more as just information, as that is what it is meant to me just information and the reasons behind what happened.
A Lot happens behind the scenes that folk are unaware of to keep the site spam free and working.

Have a great year

Ian
