Ped , just a quicky , but worth mentioning as it caused a ruck of headaches on another forum I used to use , at it might be me , but..

Have we actually signed up for a renewing subscription that will come out every year?

It currently doesn't bother me if I have , but , if someone gets taken by surprise this time next year it will cause mayhem if it causes umbrage and they request a refund etc etc

It is definately worth knocking the subscription idea on the head and making sure those signed up get it altered , then generate an auto renewal reminder , it will help keep it cleaner .

Hi, thanks for this - I believe it's simply a years access and after a year you'll simply pay again if inclined to. I'll double check though, thanks.

Its Ok I checked my account and it is a one off payment not a 'subscription' all is OK .

The wording on the receipt got me interested as the product type stated ' subscription : yearly ' but I guess that is how you have described the payment , and not the application of the Paypal subscription repeat pay method .

scare over , sorry to have put you out.

Is it now necessary to subscribe to view certain items, or is it a glitch, or what? :)

No subscriptions are need to view items - PM me the details of the item you're getting this message for and I'll see if I can work out what's gone amiss. :)

There are various items for sale which when I try to view them, I get this: [#10340 You do not have permission to view this topic.] Is it now necessary to subscribe to view certain items, or is it a glitch, or what? :)

It's the new GAS control system. It kicks in when BC senses compulsive spending urges.

It's a bug. :)

I'll pass it back to Ped so he can get the development fella to get it fixed.

Can you confirm your policy re 36 hour restriction on bumping in lieu of BCers now paying £7 for an ad?

The same rule still applies.

It was put in place to prevent people from artificially moving their listing to the top of the pile and gaining an unfair advantage.

sure - altho [size=4]I'm hard pressed to think what markets have rules, the absence of which lead to chaos - stockmarket, fruit, vegetable market etc - the only abiding rule seems to be the rule of investment - which you'd tend NOT to make unless you're assured of getting the best out of your investment.[/size]

[size=4] [/size][size=4]I'm being very pedantic, and I did say 'Ok', cos no one bass player is bigger than BC [/size][size=4] [/size][size=4] :P[/size]

I'm smaller than most topics! :D

The thing is that we try to run BassChat in a way that the vast majority of people like, a considered consensus if you like.

Within reason, we try to give people what they want - the left handed bassists wanted a specific forum for them to advertise basses in - they're getting it, members wanted to be able to sell non musical stuff here on BC - it's coming.

The bump rule was bought in after complaints from members and a quick search through the forums show that it has been discussed quite a few times over the years, the consensus still considers it to be a good thing. :)
