Hello!

What kind of member do I need to become to be able to perform search on the forum and send PMs?

Thanx!

Howdy
If you click on Upgrade your forums experience at the top of the page, you will find an explaination of what each membership level entails. While a Basic Membership will allow search and PMs, I seem to recall that only Gold or better are available to non-US based members.
Welcome to BFC... :)
 
Bud luck...It's some sort of f**k up, I don't know.
I wrote my username , marked VISA-payment but not etered Zip code (I live in Sweden, what zip-code si that??)
I klicked on Continue Shopping and got back at start to chose what membership I want.
What's wrong? Can someone help me?
 
Just my luck!:mad:

"Attention all Non-US customers - Because of extreme levels of international credit card fraud,
We no longer accept credit cards from non-US customers
All non United States orders must be pre-paid with money order or wire transfer."


:eek:

That only applies to knife purchases through 1SKS, not to Bladeforums Memberships.
 
So you think I will not have problems when trying to become a member. Ok, I'll give it another try...

EDIT: OK, now it's done. I support the forum with $30 and will become Gold Member :)

1SKS is One Stop Knife Shop, the online knife dealership owned by Spark, who owns Bladeforums. That's why payments for both run through the same system.
 
1SKS? What is that?
1SKS=One Stop Knife Shop=The site non-US residents are directed to for payment...
It is Spark's website/business. Spark is the owner of Bladeforums.

Easy-cheesy-Japaneesy...:D

Excellent...:thumbup:
I, for one, am eagerly awaiting news of your success.:)

How long time do i have to wait before it's "activated"? Do I need to do something to change my user-grade to Gold Member or it'll be done by it self?
 
Being outside of the US, your membership upgrade will have to be activated manually by Spark. As tomorrow is a holiday here, this might not happen till Tuesday.

When it happens you will need to click HERE and select the appropriate setting. If you don't see "Gold" as an option, that means your upgrade has not been activated yet.
 
Ok, thanx. I'll wait till Tuesday and then check it out again.

Btw, what holiday is it?
 
Hahha, I am not gay, but the exchanges here were cute. Makes me all warm a fuzzy inside to know I am a member of such camaraderie.
 
I got mail from "Sales Department" reading "Bladeforums Membership Activation information from OneStopKnifeShop.com - 12B‏".
They notified me that my membership has been activated...But I'm still only "registered member". When I try to access User CP>>>Group Membership, the only available group is this:
BOUNCED EMAIL: BOUNCED EMAIL
DO NOT JOIN THIS GROUP - Listed here? Email to you bounced. Please put a working email address in your profile - click Edit Email at the left. Once you have, you can leave this group by selecting User CP -> Group Memberships


I don't understand....do I need to change my e-mail to one that actually works? But the e-mail I have in my CP is the one that works and I recived mail about membership activation to that e-mail :confused: I registerd on this forum with same e-mail...

What shall I do?
 
What shall I do?

Be patient. It seems that Spark has not yet activated your upgrade.

Also, everyone has the "Bounced E-mail" option under their group memberships, it is irrelevant unless you find yourself automatically placed in it, which you do not appear to have been.
