Silver Membership - Benefits of upgrading your Forum experience.

**Franck** · 27th-July-2004, 12:16 PM

To help covering the ever increasing costs of running the Forum, I have introduced a paid level of membership. For only £6.00 (for 3 months) or £20.00 (per year) you get many benefits and the added satisfaction of supporting our community.

For those of you unaware of the benefits of Silver membership, here are a few benefits:

- View the 'Who's online page' - accessible via the quick links menu at the top of the page.
- Ability to be invisible on the Forum - editable in your user cp
- Join the Chat Rooms and chat to other Silver members in real time.
- Start a blog to share your life and experiences with other fellow dancers.
- Filter the results of 'New Posts' to avoid certain areas you are not interested in reading.
- Send attachments (photos, files, etc...) in Private Messages.
- Ability to edit / delete own posts - regular members can edit the post, but can't delete it.
- Ability to upload larger attachments - higher limit on posting attachments
- Upload a custom avatar - existing members with custom avatars will be able to keep them, but new members will have to upgrade to pick their own avatar.
- Ability to use Signatures. Silver members will be able to use a signature.
- 4000 Private messages limit - Normal limit is 400.
- Private Message tracking - check if your message was read.

The features that are activated are listed on the 'Paid Subscriptions Page ' page, also available from your user cp.

The new membership status is activated automatically and your user name will appear in Bold characters, once you are a fully functioning Silver member!

Once again, i would like to remind everyone that Silver membership is not required to enjoy the Forum and read all the posts, this is simply a means for everyone who enjoys the Forum on a regular basis to support it and enjoy a few extra features...

I for one have really enjoyed the extra features Franck, but don't let everybody have them

I need to feel special and elite.

Come on everybody give Franck your money join the Silver members club

Or give him more money & join the Platinum Club. You get the added benefit of Franck coming round with a complimentary glass of wine and plate of waffles* whilst you post.

*as opposed to the whine & waffle you get normally from the rest of the forum, I suppose

I am hoping to see Ethel tomorrow. I'll have to get her autograph & auction it off on eBay...

Well, I wasn't likely going to tell everyone what type of wine, was I?

But he should do something about those plastic cups!

How do you know when your membership is up

It's kinda like a rush of blood, with a dull ache. And a need.....

But like Claire S.... You'll never know how it feels.

How long does Silver membership take to "take effect"?

I get so much interest/entertainment out of being on the forum that it's gotta be worth less than 40 p a day

- so I coughed up yesterday evening and was hoping it would be done overnight?

OK, you got me - I actually paid up again because I am incredibly shallow and am dying to know who some of my unsigned rep comments are from and I also want to change my signature.

**Tiggerbabe** · 25th-November-2006, 05:11 PM

Hi LMC, it should be, there must have been a hiccup!

Question - I've taken out a silver membership and enjoying it immensely but is there anyway for me to stop the banner suggesting I become a silver member appearing at the top of every page?

stewart38 · 5th-September-2007, 01:57 PM

I could have sworn my membership last year was £10 but now it shows £20

How much does the membership fee 'support this ceroc site ?'

shouldnt we as members have a break down of costs ?

Don't think so - AFAIK it was £20 last year also.

Well, I get £19, does that answer your question? And well worth it, too, if I say so myself.
