Default Is the "off topic" forum down

Is anyone else having issues with the "Off Topic" forum. As of about noon today I cannot open it. I also note that under my user status it has changed from member (ie Addict) to user yet I'm paid up for at least another year

I was hoping that a Mod would come on with an explanation. Thanks

I'm going to guess that your Rennlist "membership" has expired.
Apparently, mine has, too, although I missed any notification about it.
But, I cannot access OT, either...as of today.
Seems to be an odd way to get people to renew. An email would have worked better.

FWIW, I can access OT as per normal. Apparently membership status is the issue.....

Me too. No longer a member. Won't pay for the privilege of accessing OT. Nothing there that I want and was only visiting there to provide free medical advice to people who had questions. They should have been paying me to participate.

It's not the money. It's a matter of principle.

In my case it should not be the membership as I renewed last year for multiple years. I agree a notification would be nice Oh well

f4 plt, I think it must still be related to membership but RL has screwed something up because you're shown as a "user" but are clearly a paid member. A mod should be able to resolve this for you.

Guys, if you renewed and went via authorize.net there was a glitch and your renewal never got to IB. Consequently you ended up back as "user". If you renewed, please sent a copy of the email (confirmation) you received (that part did work) and your member status will be restored promptly. Those whose payments did not go through authorize.net have no problem which is who only some of you have been downgraded perhaps incorrectly.

Best,
