I am shamelessly going to post this, so I then shamelessly can link to it from the moderators picks.

Hoping that we get more people subbing. For the simple reason, this game exists because people subscribe.

(Disclaimer: Mods, or even anyone else...make money of this game. It is volunteer run. Subscription money is used to pay for hardware and software to run this game.)

And just for you I tried three more e-cards and my regular plastic AGAIN. Still doesn't work. So basically they've shut me out for not reason whatsoever. And I can't subscribe to Sleuth.

And yes, I phoned my bank asking them about the message that "sending limit is too high" and they said it was strange and that I should be able to send whatever amount I wanted be it $1 or 100. PayPal is not working for me. ctown28, how do you use PayPal to make it work? Do you have an account? Do you have a VISA card linked to it?

Yes I have an account with them and I go through my checking account to make payments. Not sure why it isn't working for you

Alright. Thanks. Still I think it would be a good idea to add another alternative. Be it another pay service or whatever. I could transfer the money right into another account, but people are so worried about giving out account numbers these days so I'd get laughed at for asking for one.

PayNova links directly into one's internet bank and opens a separate window where you make the transaction from the bank directly instead of entering card numbers and all that.

Alright. I finally got it to work. It wasn't easy though. Following their instructions was of no use, but luckily I'm a good problem solver. I am now subscribed to Sleuth, dammit.

I blame it all on Shady! :-P

Nah, take some credit for spawning the idea of how to work it out on my own instead. Thanks ctown28.

And if anyone ever has a problem with PayPal pass it by me and perhaps if it's the same thing I had trouble with I can help. PM away.

Hi.

I wonder whether gift subs are given out anonymously or not?

On occasion, yes. Overt begging, however, is not appreciated around here. Genuine effort and community participation are. If you show that you want to be a good member of Sleuth, and are here to stay, your diligence will be rewarded. Good luck, and happy hunting. ;-)
