A couple of years ago, a subscription did not renew automatically, but the new store application now installed does have that option. Note that you have to select auto-renewal when you sub; it does not automatically renew unless you choose that option.

If you are currently a subscriber, look below your avatar and it will say so right beneath it. The other indicator is that your name is the "who's online" list appears in purple color.

If you aren't set for auto-renewal, you will get an email from the software when your sub is about to expire to alert you to renew if you opt to do so.

The vise all providers of 'free' content on the internet are being squeezed in was hammered home when I accessed a link to the largely-1/32 Spanish slot car site Slot Car Today a day or so ago and was greeted by the pop-up shown below.

I know just how the owner of that site feels. And more and more of the auto-related (or not) sites I go to are putting some or all of their content behind a paywall, or are limiting access. Most newspapers now require an online subscription or limit the number of articles that can be accessed per month or year.

Only 2.5% of the full members (and a mere 1.89% of full and partial members) at Slotblog have elected to be supporting subscribers and although there are other revenue streams (which unfortunately have been trending downward for a long time, partly the result of ad-blocking software), that miniscule level of user support is unlikely to to sustain a free Slotblog going forward.

Surely no one want to see the grating PBS TV station pledge drive routines here, so please consider becoming a Slotblog subscriber. There is a benefit for subscribing, as all the syndicated ads feeds will disappear, making Slotblog load faster (for those not using an ad-blocker).

If you don't feel this forum is worth 3.8 cents a day to you, I'd love to hear why not.

OK, I am in, now what do I do to subscribe? Post it, because there might be some one else that doesn't know how to work these 'puters.

Hi Billy,

Just click on the word "Store" just under the Slotblog emblem at the upper left of the screen. The rest is self-explanatory.

I'm holding out for 2 cents a day. Seems like I'm always getting someone's 2 cents worth or giving my 2 cents worth.

This grandpa only got back onto the 1/24 tracks six months ago... but decided to be a subscriber straight from the green... cannot get this type of knowledge (decades of exchanges) anywhere else - for goodness sakes... same price as a Chinese motor.

Once again - thanks to Cheater, all dem racers, builders, raceway owners, and professors emeritus who leave behind their wisdom as well!
