It won't "go away," but there's a strong likelihood it will be updated. As I've said before, the forum software is now 20 years old, and it has no "captcha" protection against spam bots. That's why registration has to remain closed, and all new members have to be added manually by me.]]> Fri, 17 Jan 2025 07:41:20 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10109&PID=65640&title=important-update-for-paid-subscribers#65640 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10109&PID=65639&title=important-update-for-paid-subscribers#65639 Author: TomDiehl1

I find the proboards site a *lot* harder to
go through on my cell phone than either this
board or the old bsn board, so I rarely,
rarely even stop over there to look at
anything. I do sometimes glance at the
Facebook group if it pops up during my
scrolling on there, though I don't seek it
out, either. I don't access my main computer
often anymore unless I need to go print out
a shipping label for something I've sold on
discogs. I like this board, I find it easy
to use on my phone and easy to search, so I
sincerely hope it doesn't go away.]]> Fri, 17 Jan 2025 06:51:52 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10109&PID=65639&title=important-update-for-paid-subscribers#65639 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10109&PID=65636&title=important-update-for-paid-subscribers#65636 Author: aaronk

I just checked out Proboards, and yeah, that could be an option. The main thing is to not lose 20 years of data, so I'm first looking into an update rather than moving to a new platform.]]> Wed, 15 Jan 2025 15:01:56 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10109&PID=65636&title=important-update-for-paid-subscribers#65636 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10109&PID=65635&title=important-update-for-paid-subscribers#65635 Author: eriejwg

A couple hundred of the former BSN site visitors are now on
a new Proboards site. Perhaps, that might be an option for
this forum.]]> Wed, 15 Jan 2025 13:31:57 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10109&PID=65635&title=important-update-for-paid-subscribers#65635 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10109&PID=65634&title=important-update-for-paid-subscribers#65634 Author: aaronk

The forum is not going away, and this isn’t part of the first phase of
updates. At some point I would like to update the forum, though, to fix the
bugs we’ve been living with for the last two decades. ]]> Wed, 15 Jan 2025 11:30:21 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10109&PID=65634&title=important-update-for-paid-subscribers#65634 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10109&PID=65633&title=important-update-for-paid-subscribers#65633 Author: sriv94

I realize updating a website takes quite a while, but has any progress been made yet? (I wanted to quote only some of the post but don't know how.)]]> Thu, 09 Jan 2025 19:06:33 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10109&PID=65613&title=important-update-for-paid-subscribers#65613 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10109&PID=65612&title=important-update-for-paid-subscribers#65612 Author: Jack45

As you probably already know, Pat is retiring from keeping the website updated and has handed it off to me to continue maintaining. There is, unfortunately, no way to move the PayPal subscriptions from his account to mine. As such, I strongly recommend you log into your PayPal account and CANCEL your subscription TODAY (currently being paid to Patrick Downey). Rest assured, by cancelling within PayPal, this will NOT affect your access to the database. I have a list of all active accounts and when they expire, and you will continue to have access until your expiration date. Once you’ve reached the end of your paid subscription, you will be able to resubscribe (and I really hope you do!) by using the checkout button on the website, which is now connected to my PayPal account. Here are the steps to cancel your subscription: 1.     Follow this link: https://www.paypal.com/myaccount/autopay/ 2.     Use your PayPal account credentials to log in. 3.     Find “Patrick Downey” in your list of Active subscriptions and click on it to view the details. 4.     At the bottom of the details that appear, you should see a link that says “Remove PayPal as payment method.” Click this link and then confirm on the next screen. The exciting future of Top40MusicOnCD.com I have hired a web developer to give the site a much-needed update, visually and functionally. While I do not know how long these changes will take, your continued paid subscription will help cover the expenses and your input can help determine what the future site will look like. I welcome any suggestions on what you hope to see on the newly updated site. Please feel free to reply to this thread to let me know. Again, thank you for being part of our little community of CD collectors. I look forward to talking with you soon. Aaron Kannowski
