You need at least a Basic paid membership ($10 per year) in order to send & receive private messages.

Maybe you can help me. Seems it's been awhile since I renewed, and I messaged someone, I think Spark awhile back about my membership. How can I tell when my renewal is due. I just noticed my avatar no longer has gold member next to it. Thanks!

It is showing the Gold Member banner now when I look at it. Maybe you need to log out and back in? I don't think there is a way to see how many days are left on a membership. At least I don't know of one and mine expired the other day.

I just renewed. Maybe I made a donation. Lol. I think my membership may have expired. Dunno. Never got any notification for renewal.

Yeah, I didn't get one either. Not sure if they are not sent or if they go straight to junk mail folder.

Here's what works for me (on a laptop) regarding renewal date.
If I click on "Paid Subscriptions" in the menu bar at the top of the page (just to the left of my username), I'm taken to my account and shown a page listing the "Available upgrades" on the right 2/3 of the page.
At the bottom of that list is a section called "Purchased upgrades" that shows me I have a Gold membership and gives me the expiration date (for me, it says Jan 23, 2026).
Hope that helps you guys get the info you want.
