good god ...how much further are you guys (whom ever decides what to pay for) going to go with the pay for this that and the other ??? is £15 a month not enough for people to pay to just see who's viewed your profile...well it was last month !! but not this month?!! i've only paid again this month so i can have a little input an make aware my discust about the horendous way u people seem to treat good willing customers that are prepared to pay a monthly fee for your service!! absolutely no need to keep goading people into paying more and more money for a service that they had full use of only last week in my case. i would also like to say to people who read this that had profiles before you decided to charge because i don't think they're aware ...you cant even look at a members photos or send messages ..or edit your own profile text unless you pay £15 yes £15 !! ..nuff said :shock: omg god i've got to add this!!! how stupid ...can't change theme colour of your profile now ..unless i pay an additional £25 a year! how stupid ..really really stupid!!
There are many swinging sites and if you feel unhappy with this one maybe you need to investigate the payment options on other ones.
And if you pay yearly it`s a whole lot cheaper. I`ve tried other sites and have found the yearly charge on here to be well worth it, it`s a very active and friendly site.
Up to you really but if you`re not happy then there`s not much point paying it out then whinging about it. If you dont feel it`s worth it dont pay it, it`s quite simple. wink

:shock:
think of it this way, £25 membership... it's only 6p a day. What can you get for 6p these days? wink
£50:00 A year is cool for this service I reckon. And the choice as to whether you pay more for the 'eXtras' is up to you.
I long for the day that all members are fully paid-up. Joining in with the financial supporting of a great site. C'mon its only fair wink

If I were you I would look into annual payment options, as others have said, much better value for money. Or there are other free sites... but if you give this place a chance then I reckon you definitely get your money's worth!

Right, we have been members on this site since 2005 under several different usernames. When we joined the site back then, it was free. Since then we've paid not only per month but each time we've wanted to change our username we've had to pay an additional !, is this a fair price to pay just to change username when we are already paying per month?, I don't think so.
Now, my wife has just renewed our membership much to my annoyance and we've found that we cannot now see who's viewed our profile and we've had photos removed that we previously had on our profile/private gallery that were not a problem before.
I totally agree with the replies members have posted, if we don't like it, we don't have to come here and yes, there are other sites that are completely free, one of which we are members. It's just I don't like feeling like I'm being taken advantage of when I'm paying for something but that is how I feel about the services that seem to be missing since our last paid months subscription. Feel like we're being a bit ripped off really.

From what I can see, you've not changed your name, but instead, re-registered under different names each time.
This username you're using was registered in January of this year. I can also see a couple of other live accounts that were registered in December 07 and another one this year some time (forgot the mth sorry).
So presuming you've just kept on re-registering, the original account you say you had back in 2005 should still be alive somewhere.............. and ready to log into!
So maybe you need to dig out your original username, log in with that and see how you get on.
If that doesn't work, then sorry I can't help and you would have to raise a support ticket. Failing that, if you feel this isn't the place for you, then as you already know, there are plenty others that might be more tailored to your needs biggrin

Our original username was bainbo and we can remember the password and it doesn't work! The point we are trying to make is obviously not being understood, a week ago we could see who'd viewed our profile and we had photos on that weren't removed. We've renewed our membership last night and yet we cannot see who has viewed our profile and we can't put the pics of previous meets we've had but we could last month. When we try to click members who have viewed our profile now it diverts us saying we have to pay £25 to get this extra service. Why is this can anyone give us a reasonable explanation?

You may laugh now, thinking you have won, but you may not prevail in the end.

I've just looked up the username Bainbo and it doesn't exist, which suggests you cancelled that account.
Without the extras package you have at the very least, what you had before. You can still access the chatrooms, the forums and participate in the site fully. The extras package is a set of gizmos the admin team developed, and yes, wages have to be paid to develop the site in certain ways. If you choose not to have the extras package, you're no worse off than before.
It might be worth submitting a support ticket if you want questions like this answered, cos you might get a better explanation - on the other hand if you just want to complain about the extras charge, then there's not really anything that can be done to help, and a support ticket wouldn't be worth submitting biggrin

Eh?? :confused: Sorry, I'm not getting this, straight over my head I'm afraid confused
Nobody is forced to join this site!
Nobody is forced to upgrade their account!
If you don't want to pay to be a member of this site, then don't pay.
The cancel account button is over there >>>>>>>>
It is your choice!!! :shock: :shock: :shock:
If i'm right, when you sign up for a years membership costing you your £49:summat The site gives some a months eXtra's free as a 'taster' of how good the eXtras are. If at the end of that first month you wish to carry on the eXtra's then by paying the £24:summat you can go on receiving them.
If however, you decide that eXtra's are not for you then by not handing over the £24:summat the benefits afforded by being an eXtra are stopped. This leaves you with access to the site as any other non eXtra's full member.
In other words your photo allowance goes to a max of twelve your ad & profile colour is the usual (dubiousbiggrinsmile blue and your ability to check on who has occasioned to look at your profile recently goes and so on ... I think there are 10 benefits eXtra's give you above. these no longer apply.
If you pay monthly I'm not sure if you get the option to pay for the eXtra's. I don't think you do. Paying your £14:summat a month entitles you to full access membership but not Extra's
As for your Signature thingy guys but with Missy on this ... watcha on about :D And for what its worth i've looked about for and on other sites and I guess you can cut me in half and read SH through the middle, seriously there aint a site touches this one.
Though i do think it's about time the freebie members started having to contribute financially innocent :lol2:
Eh?? Sorry, I'm not getting this, straight over my head I'm afraid ..............obviously so missy! rolleyes
i'll try again tomorrow lol
:sleeping:
i have never paid a yearly fee, i have only ever paid £15 per month and have always been allowed access to all parts of the site. so if you read what i've wrote previously a bit more thorough u will see that i am saying.... i'm no longer able to have access to parts of the site that i had before paying my monthly subscription this month. i'm not paying any more or less but access to some things i had use of last month i can no longer use this month.
i don't mind paying for use of the site. i have not said i don't want to pay, so wind yer necks in those who think that the issue is me not wanting to pay for the use of this site..if i didn't want to pay i wouldn't have spent a penny in the first place rolleyes
state the obvious sgt .. surprised
well aware of everythhing you added. coul'd you try a little constuctive criticism if you wan't to make an impact. or perhaps some helpfull advise would be even better?!
I still can't understand why you'd pay a month (and be a long time member) instead of paying annually and saving a small fortune loon

we've had photos removed that we previously had on our profile/private gallery that were not a problem before.

Rather than having had pics 'removed' they have not been authorised for loading as they break the site AUP - hence the warnings you got.
Not quite the same thing.
I was going to say why don't you spend the money on a course on how to win friends and influence people. But then I saw that you've already had 3 mods on here explaining things to you.
I wish I could attract such attention! wink
.
why dont you pay the yearly fee as i imagine its cheaper than paying monthly smile
h-loui,i get your point and am with you on this issue,
for the length of time you've been with this site you've seen the standard services being narrowed down so has to being forced to pay extra i.e
the other day i wanted to update my profile,i was so stunned to find a PINK colouring on it,but appparently i have to updrage my account to be able to change the pink spunk on it...yuck thuu
so fellow forumist there is no need of showing H-loui the door yet you cant take time to understand the complaint.
i think its not fair to narrow normal services and make poeple pay stupid sums just to crop their pictures before uploading
oh i forgot my signature but a dithering twit might do for now....

Sorry Phuckers, but that's bollocks. The normal service, ie, what you get without paying 'Extras' is exactly the same as it was before 'Extras' came along. the reason it is called 'Extras' is because it is 'Extra' to the standard package which allows you to post and reply to ads, post and reply in the forums, post pics on your profile, access the chatrooms and perve the couldn't change your profile colour or highlight your ads before 'Extras' came along.
As for cropping pics using 'Extras', you can do that yourself if you have paid for a commercial package like Paint Shop Pro, which, I believe, is more than £25 a year.
Forgot to add that before anyone started paying for the Site there was only one chatroom, now we have four chatroom servers and as many chatrooms as you can wave a soggy stick at - and you don't have to pay 'Extra' for that unless you want to access the ONE 'Extras' Lounge!
There's a few other things that have been added to the site since it changed from a free site, but I think you get the picture now. lol

Or use the entertainingly named "GIMP" - basically it does all the same stuff photoshop or paint shop pro do but it's open source, meaning you can legally download it for free at . And read about it at .
In fact - you can crop, resize and black out faces using Paint, which came free with your computer. Unless you have a Mac, in which case... there'll be something on there.
@Mal am afraid my opinion stand,probably croping is not a good example in this case but....am happy with the £49 per year

We're all entitled to our opinion, but you are factually wrong about a reduction (narrowing) of services.
