Maybe I missed it. Is there a link to upgrade an account? Or do we just send payment to a particular email address along with a note about the upgrade? I was unable to find instructions on what to do Ed. I have been known to be blind though on occasion.

Jeff,
My fault I should have made it more clear, thanks for the heads up.

Go to "User CP" upper left directly below "home"on the next tool bar down.

In your User CP there are many setting options under "Control Panel" toward the bottom under Miscellaneous click on "Paid Subscriptions"

Under available subscriptions click the arrow pointing down next to "Costs"

One year is $60, and 6 months is $35.

From there it will take you to Paypal.

Your account will automatically change to "Premium Member" and automatically expire after the time frame you have paid for is over.
