"xoconostle - HEY! not fair! hahaha." Hey, if it's not fair, it's not because I did anything wrong! :-) I know you're kidding, but I confess at this point I'm slightly confused all over again. I can't imagine that I wasn't actually supposed to receive the bonus pak. If it was an error, what am I supposed to do, delete all that stuff and retract my thanks to DAZ? Yikes, I don't think so ... I suspect that what happened was correct, and that the confusion we're experiencing hinges on the difference between "automatic renewals," which haven't been clearly explained in DAZ' official communications (so far as I'm aware,) and manually renewing using the monthly or yearly options that were made available last Saturday (if you hunted for the links) and more overtly in the Platinum Club section today. I can't possibly be the only person who renewed on the new monthly plan and got the bonus pak, can I? Let's pick this apart a tiny bit more. Steve said: "If you want the bonus pak, you must renew now under one of the new plans." Well, I did renew under one of the new plans, so it seems to me that everything went the way it was supposed to. My impression was that the monthly membership is now exactly that, although in another thread it's been suggested that the monthly plan is actually a monthly payment plan for a year's membership. I'm now thinking that's probably correct. Ack, forget it ... where's that Hydra? ...
