I dont know who to contact about this, so i thought i would just throw the question up on the forums.
i paid for a premium membership today, i received a receipt from paypal, saying the payment was sent to salamander software, however my account has not been changed to premium membership status. i want to create private games, but i can not. could somebody please direct me towards the right person to talk to? Lackattack is the webmaster, should i just PM him?
i tried to search for an answer, but could not find it. i apologize if the answer to my question is elsewhere.
thanks for your help

I don't think Premium accounts are activated the same day as their bought. It should show up within the new few days though.

Just so you know, I'm not 100% sure, but I think it works out the way I mentioned.

Same here. If it isn't active something went wrong.

credit card payments should go through immediately. those payments tied to banking accounts will take a few days to clear the bank.

! - BUMP - !
So it has been one business day, and no response from my emails or message via "contact form" (on FAQ/Contact webpage) Anybody have any ideas. Any moderators or admins around?
I dont really care if it takes a week for my account to get activated, i would just like to know that it WILL get activated in the near future

Wait another day, and if you still don't have it then PM lackattack.

ak_iceman - sounds good.
wicked - sorry didnt read your message but FYI i didnt pay using credit card but i used PayPal, they pretty much act as an intermediate, so the money is transfered right away. infact the deduction has already been made from my account.
i guess i just want to make sure my money didnt dissappear, but since others havent had this problem i am guessing it is some random problem.

paypal takes longer than a credit or debit card.

so paypal deducts the money first, then sends it? i am not completely familiar with paypal. the times i have used it for ebay, or sending money to somebody, it has been really fast.
and yeah if it takes a screen shot i can provide one to an admin, but i dont see how it would help to post it on the forum. i definetly have a transaction number, that is tied with my account and salmander software's account.
on a side note
i am some what new to this site, and i just read about how people are addicted. and i think that explains best why i would really like my premium status. i am limited on the number of games i can play, and really want to setup some private games. so in short, CC is a drug, i have paid money, and the dealer (salamander software) is holding out.....quick guys i need my fix!!

saintx007, had you read the instructions on the Premium Membership page, you would have seen this:
Click this button to get Premium Membership. PayPal will let you pay by credit card (no signup required) or by bank account (where available, allow 4 business days to clear). After successful payment, this page will display your membership status.
Case closed.
Though I probably should revise the page to keep those instructions available after payment.

lackattack - thanks for the reply. in my defense, it didnt seem like anybody else had remembered that little note. also i have had a couple friends sign up recently and it didnt take that long. i guess i will have to wait 4 days. and i am not sure if this is possible or not, but maybe an email notice should be sent. usually when you purchase something and email receipt is sent fairly quickly. just a suggestion, no need to flame me for it
