Just tried to change our membership type from 'male' to 'couple' ('cos that's what we is). but get an error saying that a connection to 3Bill was refused and, to rub it in, when I tried to make a connection myself I got a message saying that my IP address had been logged for investigation. Seems a bit harsh as I was only trying to get our account set up right. Anyone else had a similar problem? Do we have to pay to be a couple nowadays?
Your have to mail admin and ask them to change it for you
Babe I've just done the same thing.
When the site changed over I made the mistake of registering as a fem coz I am !!!! but I am the fem half of a couple........... so I PM'd Admin to ask them to change it.(Monday)
Tonight I tried to change my status to a couple and the only way I can do it is to pay
:cry:

Mmmmm, I thought that was for changing your Username - I didn't know there was a charge to change your "Type".
I will look into that!! confused :? :? :? :? :? :?

We have introduced this charge to ensure people only do it for genuine reasons for instance men pretending to be females or couples. If we did not charge, I think that we will have people swapping accounts a few times a day to suite their needs.
If the account is under 7 days old, we will be able to change it free of charge.
It is there to ensure the overview integrity of the site and provide the best service to the members.

Surely the best service for the members is one where their account reflects there statusconfused:
Take me for example (oooo errrr easy now), i could go both ways :? :shock: I'm male (well last time i checked) so I would pick male but I'm part of a couple, we each have seperate IDs, so is a 'male' ID right, or a 'couple'?
Personally I'm happy the way I am, just passing an observation.

Has this been a problem to you so far? Have you been inundated with people so much that it is stopping you doing other things on the Site? You say 'you think' you will have people swapping a few times a day - really? How difficult would it be to just have something marked against their account to say they have already changed within a certain time period and can therefore not change for a certain period? You are then providing a service that meets your clients needs. How can this ensure the overall integrity of the Site where you may be forcing people to be labelled something they are not because they won't pay to change? I fully accept that some people do pretend to be something they are not, but to penalise others who may have either made a genuine mistake or who have partnered up with someone? Do you charge both partners? Is this another drip feed of charges to the members? Where will it end?

Having read Blonde's and your comments...........don't you think in Blonde's case you could make an exception, Blonde and her partner are more than well known on this site as I'm sure you are well aware off, and waver the fee.
Failing that can I verify them lol :lol: :lol:
Now where is that thread :lol: :lol:

I think its a shame that even though the 4 tops know Steve and I are a couple, they wont change my status to reflect it............. without charging me
I made a mistake when the site changed over, it was my fault .............. but I remember logging in and having to complete a registration document before I could get into the site ...... so I just clicked all the boxes !
I find it strange that I can change my age, postcode etc etc etc without charge .. but cant change my status to a couple ?
Anyway ....... no worries kiss
Sam xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ok so i will probably get shouted at for this but hay ho here goes!!!!
the site as changed some like it some dont, we like to moan about different things me included BUT im sick of coming on the forums to see nothing but moan moan moan i come on here for a bit of light fun to chat to friends new and old to have a laugh and yes a moan but the moaning is constantly at the new owners even when they hand out £500 for a munch we moan rolleyes
ye ye i no we are all entitled to our opinions, but cant we have a moan about the site thread that is a sticky then every time we have a moan about the site we can put it in there instead of having loads on the go at one time
ok so i will now stand up bend over and take the ass beating im about to receive with grace and dignaty

no offence to you hun you had a problem you wanted an answer simple as :kiss: i should have made myself more clear i think, people jump on an innocent thread and turn it into a rant/moan about the site thats all gets on my sillyhwoar: at times
:kiss: :kiss:

ps spelling was never one of my strong points lol
This is the normal problem
MOST people when they register register as either a Man, Woman, or Couple. Lets be frank here some men want to register as women, a few couples each want their own account and some of the Gay or TV users of the site might register as to how they mentally feel rather than what anatomy they have. etc etc.
If anyone on the site registers themselves wrongly when they register we will change it for them free of charge (within 7 days). Within a week if you are a man registered as a woman and have posted an Ad it is obvious when you get a lot of mail from men thinking you are a woman that something is wrong!.
These are the reasons behind the charging
1. We are having a couples only room in the chatroom, as soon as this goes live we expect a number of Single males try to change there IDs to get in.
2. At the moment a chat Op has to sit in this room kicking all the single men out
3. It has been known that in order to get better responses from ads that SOME not very many but SOME men change there settings to couples then turn up for meets making an excuse as to why the wife could not come.
4. If people have generally been happy all the time with the wrong membership type then generally those people probably would not want to change them now anyway.
As for any money we raise on these changes the plans were to put some back into the community. Maybe helping out financially on a few munches etc, but again as we have seen that offends some peeps as well.
There will always be exceptions though ie there are those that plan an active part in making SH what it is, so there will be exceptions on occasions ;)
I think in this case it's a bit unfair as Blonde only wanted to change her status to couple because of the recent changes made to the chatroom facility by the admin.
A lot of couples were previously registered on this site separately. When we all had to reregister, we didn't know what changes were a foot:
We didn't know the search facility would increase the number of pm spam mails we got
We didn't know we were going to get pounced on in the non-chatroom
We didn't know the site was going to be charging for such changes.
I think that's worth considering rolleyes
To all u sexy little chickens kiss

Good news for Blonde! biggrin
Unfortunately all I got was a link back saying that I had to go through the same process as I already went through. sad So I did and ended up having to pay. :shock: At least this time I didn't get a page telling me my IP address had been logged for investigation!
I would like to state that I'm not generally a whinger but as with others the missus & I joined as seperates and wanted to combine, given all the changes. I just hope the charge I just paid was a one-off and not a monthly one, ooer. confused
Other than that, would like to say how much fun me an' Glo are having... even when hanging out and just lurking. Love yas all passionkiss
See you both in the couples chatroom then :rascal:

I have tried to change my account to a couple for the same reason as mentioned by blondie. when I joined i just wanted to register and get a feel for the site. at that time there was no mention of the site changing to a paying site, quite the opposite in fact.
so i registered as a single. By the time i had got to know a few people and my wife had been assured that it wasn't full of perverts just after a quick shag, the site had changed.
I think that anyone who was registered before the changover should be allowed at least one upgrade before being judged and cast as some trying to exploit the site.
I am glad that blondie has been upgraded free of charge. but I dont agree with one rule for one and onother rule for others.
I like this site. I think it is still the best even compared to free sites. but I do believe that this need to be sorted fairly with the same conditions for all members
Blonde
Glad common sense has taken place.
Well done to Martin and co
PS Noel where is my lunch? lol
