    Even for premium members? IMHO, I am paying to not see the ads.

    According to the premium membership page, ads aren't supposed to be displayed. Perhaps calling out to @SnoSheriff will get an answer.

    the ads are there so that when my wife looks over my shoulder she thinks I am looking for an Asian bride...

    Just noticed the "premium member" banner is not under my name on the side of posts. Maybe that's the hiccup.

    Looks like my monthly recurring payments have stopped, so I'll rejoin.. I'm sure that's it. Not sure why they stopped, but maybe it's supposed after a year?

    There are a few ways to set things up. Pay every month, pay a few months on advance, pay for the year, or reoccurring payments until you cancel.

    I wonder if something's broken and I'm just the first to discover it. I get an error from paypal when trying to setup yearly recurring. Maybe the payment stuff can be verified. Is there a site certificate or something xjbikes uses with paypal?

    if you click on premium account then click on the purchase button you will see when your account expires.

    also if you are using a debit/credit card to pay has your card changed new card has different expire date.
    i was recently forced to go to a chip card and have to go to any auto payment sites to update that info

    I was having it taken from my paypal. June was the last payment. I tried setting up payment again and get a failure.

    Maybe this is why it couldn't process the transaction. I still have an active thing with Paypal and XJBikes:
    Next payment dueJul 24, 2017

    Last payment dueIndefinite - continue until canceled
    @SnoSheriff, I'll need this looked into. Somehow I'm not shown as premium, though my last payment was Jun 19th and you're still authorized to charge me.

    It is probably just me, but I don't mind ads for forums that are beneficial to me. I can't afford premium memberships, so it's the least I can do.

    Correct, premium members don't see ads and have other privileges that I listed here: http://www.xjbikes.com/forums/pages/PremiumMember/

    It seems that your payment was skipped. I'll ping you off line by email to sort this out. Thank you.
