Blogstream News


 Premium Membership now Available
Back to Full Blog  

I've been working hard the last two days to add the Premium Membership option... and I think we are all set!

You can upgrade your account by going to "My Account" and clicking the upgrade option next to your membership status.

Current cost is $9.99 for a full year... it will allow you to have up to 500 images in your gallery and banner ads on the top of the blog pages will not appear. More benefits may come in the future.

Let me know if you have any problems!

Oh, I definitely like the idea of no banner ads. I'm on my way back to my account page to sign up.

Pioneer,

It took a bit for the Paypal page to open, but I have dial-up so that may be why. After that it all went very smoothly and I am now a premium member. I love the look of the pages without that ad at the top.

What about the people who don't use credit cards? How do they get Premium service?

Re: Paying without a Credit Card... there are a few options:

* Paypal is suppose to accept eChecks or Bank payments through that page, although it seems to say "where available" and does not offer that option to me. I will have to look into that.

* You can join paypal directly, which lets you link in your bank account, then pay for the premium membership using your paypal account.

* You can ask a friend to pay the membership fee for you using their credit card, and then pay them the money back by cash or check.

* You can mail in a check or money order and we can process it directly, I dont have information on how to do that yet, but will add it shortly.

Using Pay Pal...

One can use Pay Pal with e-check which will require verification...
Check routing numbers etc will be required, then they will take less than $1.00 from your Bank Account to make certain it is an active account, it's a way of verification...

The check route used to take a few days, I have been with Pay Pal myself since 1999 when it was X-Com, then became Pay Pal, before it was bought out by eBay so I am not sure how they work the check part nowdays BUT thought I would share...

OR
You can use any Debit/Bank/ATM Card as well, it is not difficult, a one time set up, no charges to *buyer/consumer* to set up or use.

I use Pay Pal all the time, it's a great service, quite secure as well...

Pioneer, the banner free is really quite nice, I'm loving it, initally as stated I just wanted the picture storage but now I do NOT miss the banners lol

I would like to send my money as a money order, so I look forward to you, Pioneer, telling how to do that. But since I have no idea how to do anything on here ( gallery things, etc) it will be merely to gladly pay to be on a wonderful site.

Pioneer:
I forgot to ask. Will blogstream accept a direct payment with a prepaid debit card? just wondering. Trying to figure out the fastest way for me to get the premium account. thank you. Scratch.

by Scratch (PM , CC ) on Friday November 10, 2006 @ 9:16 PM




I believe the paypal page will accept debit cards as well -- give it a try and let me know! Worst case it will tell you that it can't accept it.  
|<   <<   >>   >|

 
by Pioneer (PM , CC ) on Friday November 10, 2006 @ 9:56 PM




FYI I have a debit card on my PayPal account! Been using it for a couple years.

by Scratch (PM , CC ) on Friday November 10, 2006 @ 10:02 PM




You don't have to join paypal to make a payment -- you use to have to but now they process your payment just like any other website shopping cart.

Hello,

I want to join, my question is this? how long do we have to join up, as i have a very tight budget and my checks get direct deposited, so it will be a few weeks until i could pay by debit/credit card. Those who don't join will they get kicked off? And lastly, if you are not a premium member can you still browse/blog or will it be limited?


I love the stream and don't want to loose it.

Regards,
Junebug

June --

As mentioned in the earlier news message and on the join info page -- nothing is changing... the site is still free. Becoming a premium member just gets you extra features such as a larger image gallery and no advertisements.

John, Sad to see that the Controllers made you remove on 11-11-06 our positive comment of Saturday, November 11, 2006 left by finnics7. Dr. Will.

by will (PM , CC ) on Sunday November 12, 2006 @ 5:17 AM




Hi John. Our group and makers of finnics7 paid $9.95 at 9 AM on Saturday, Nov. 11, 2006--and via internet we received confirmation that payment was received. An hour later the top banner ads went. Thank you. But now at 12:30 AM this Monday, Nov. 13, 2006 they are back. Since we have paid and since you stated that upon receipt of $9.95 you would remove top banner ads--but now they are back--can you kindly solve this error. Note: This has happened to others too. Thank you kindly. Dr. Will.  
|<   <<   >>   >|

 
by will (PM , CC ) on Monday November 13, 2006 @ 1:55 AM




Hi again. We at blog finnics7 misread the amount. We sent $9.95 instead of $9.99. It is a bit hard to believe that an error of $0.04 (4 pennies) would first allow you to forgive the 4 cent mistake and go ahead and remove the top banner ads, but then 2 days later put back the banners until you receive 4 cents. In any case we are sending you 4 cents more. We apologies. Dr. Will.  
|<   <<   >>   >|

 
by will (PM , CC ) on Monday November 13, 2006 @ 2:10 AM




Will -- I am confused... we receieved $9.99 from you (not $9.95) and your account is active for premium membership. Also, we have not heard complaints from anyone else who has upgraded.

Please try logging out and logging back in... your computer may be keeping an old login which does not know about your premium upgrade.

by Pioneer (PM , CC ) on Monday November 13, 2006 @ 9:23 AM




Hi John; Thank you for your fast reply. Yes you are right. We did pay $9.99. Now if we may add a positive suggestion which was in comment deleted above: The comment was that there may be some who have a bit extra money and would like to help keep this great blogstream flowing (pardon the pun). Hence when you and your friends get a chance you may want to add 2 other amounts they may want to contribute--$19.99 or $29.99; but they get no extra special benefits. But you may not want to leave the amount open to any amount. For people make mistakes--even with placing the decimal point--$1999. It can give a next AM hangover.

Pioneer,
I would like to sign up but, I too, have
no credit cards, and don't want anything to
do with paypal.
I'll need an address to send the money to.
Call me old fashioned, but I don't trust

by legalguy (PM , CC ) on Tuesday February 27, 2007 @ 5:16 PM




Pioneer,

I have another request for the suggestion box ... How about spicing up the front page with pictures from bloggers? We could submit them to you and you could do a slide show of 10-12 of them, change it every month?

Yeah ... I'd submit a few myself, which is why I'm asking ... but YOU'D do the picking! If you haven't already, check out some of Jonnie/DebyD's, Kelly's or River Rat's stuff! You can swing by my place too if you want but I am not as good as those three are.

Hugggggggggggggz (I hug everybody),
Taylor

Why can't we have this for free? It cost ya nothing to remove the banners, and give us more photo space, and why can we only have three blogs?

This Blogstream is fantastic. I think it is very easy to use - up to the point I am now. I can't figure out how to change the background on my blog nor can I figure out how to center the photos I have placed on my main blog page. There is no menu so that I can get in there and change things. I need help. You know Grandmothers are pretty neat ladies but we are all learning this computer stuff. Where is that info? (In simple words!) Thanks for all of you hard work to make this blog site fun!

Do I need to upgrade to get email notification when I get PMS & posts? My settings box has always been marked "Yes", I want email notification, and this is the second time it has mysteriously stopped. I know I am missing PMs, as in my low profile quests, this is how I most often communicate w/other bloggers. I know you are busy & believe you to be a benevolent genius, but could you please do what ever you can do to link my blog back to my email...it is so very missed....thanks, Pioneer-you do rock!

I sent my renewed membership - Did you receive it? As it still states on my account that I am ready to expire... Please check

Merry Christmas to you and yours

Wow. Seriously? You're running this place, and you haven't been here in over two years?

Hoping you're still with us - in the sense of being alive, not in the sense of actually being with us, because obviously you're not. But I'll tell you why I gave up on Blogstream, very quickly, and would not be interested in any premium membership.

Missing functionality. One doesn't have the freedom to set up any links on the sidebar of one's blog, other than to the main page of another blogstream blog. This keeps me off of any blogrolls with any blogs not hosted here, and kills any possibility of installing a "return to your ring" link or "return to the homepage for this blog" link by any means other than that of continually entering those links in each and every post.

That's a lot of work to ask the user to do, just so that the owner of the service can be unreasonable. Much of your competition (eg. Blogger) is willing to do better by its users than that, and we deserve it, so goodbye.
