upgrading membership with dnf$

**dtrader** · 04-10-2008, 10:48 PM

Could someone please explain how I go about upgrading my membership using dnf$ as the payment? I was all excited, thinking that I was about to join the platinum ranks, and now I can't figure out how to do it (assuming that I have sufficient dnfund$ in the first place). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The table for upgrades via DNF$ is here:

I don't know if I'm missing something, but I've looked over the page that links to multiple times, and I still can't figure out how to upgrade using dnf$. It was helpful in that it verified that I do have enough funds to cover the upgrade ($6000 to platinum), but on the page I can only find the pay with paypal option.

try going to "upgrade membership" at the top...

**gobrightwork** · 04-10-2008, 11:18 PM

Click on Memberships at the top menu - or the "upgrade membership" at the very top as mentioned by Onward

In small writing it will say near the bottom of the chart in the price row "(Regular price: ~~$399.95~~
Your price: $340.00
(this is a pro-rated price based on your current membership level) (You may upgrade via DNF$ here)

This is for the exclusive upgrade - the platinum is just a different price. Click on the underlined "here"

Ok. If that's what the page should be showing (and I understand you correctly), then I don't feel as lost, but I have another problem to figure out. When I go to that screen, it says the regular price, then the "your price", then (this is pro rated...), but there is no additional option after that for a dnf$ upgrade. Any suggestions?

**gobrightwork** · 04-10-2008, 11:31 PM

is there a DNF$ option for the Exclusive upgrade?

**dtrader** · 04-10-2008, 11:38 PM

No.

**gobrightwork** · 04-10-2008, 11:40 PM

I still have the option on mine, so it doesn't look like a system wide thing. Time to ask a mod...

**dtrader** · 04-10-2008, 11:43 PM

Ok. Even though I still have the issue, I'm glad to know I wasn't just blind to it. Thanks for the help.

The smart a** in me wants to say "just because you didn't see it, doesn't mean it's not there".

I could be wrong here, but I dont think Gold members can upgrade to Platinum using F$... I suggest you contact support or ask a mod. Please let us know the answer when you find out.

**dtrader** · 04-11-2008, 12:02 AM

The upgrades table that gobrightwork offered earlier, seems to suggest that gold members are allowed to use dnf$ to upgrade ($6000). That is the same thing that I read before in other threads, so I don't think that's where I'm getting caught up. I have submitted a ticket to support and await a response...with crossed fingers.

try http://www.dnforum.com/vbplaza.php?d...categoryid=101 what does it list?

**dtrader** · 04-11-2008, 12:08 AM

I went there, and clicked "membership features", and it said exactly what it said before...regular price, your price, (this is pro rated...)...no more. No dnf$ option....unless it's cloaked lol

**gobrightwork** · 04-11-2008, 12:13 AM

On my screen at http://www.dnforum.com/vbplaza.php?d...categoryid=101 there is a button on the left hand side above "membership features". If you don't have it, then there is a problem/situation that we are not aware of. Perhaps if somebody with a gold membership could check to see if they can upgrade?

**dtrader** · 04-11-2008, 12:19 AM

LOL. I must be getting tired. I just clicked the region above "membership features" just in case the missing button really was there and not showing up. lol...it's not

**gobrightwork** · 04-11-2008, 12:53 AM

LOL - the mods are pretty good here. They'll figure it out.

I also can't see such feature ( I know I am sort of F$ to be able to upgrade my membership, still I should see it on the screen). To upgrade to platinum using F$ you probably need to contact the moderator.

When I was a gold member it gave me the option to. It was an insane amount (about the same DNF as you could buy at about #0.004 per DNF$).
