Sorry, L6, it's not your fault you didn't get notified when your membership was about to expire (it's the fault of the software; we're doing what we can) -- but you still can't spam the discussion forums with ads. You'll have to renew your membership before you can post your ad, and that could take a couple of days to go through because Spark is dealing with a family crisis right now. I can only apologize this time -- but I can promise it won't happen again; next time you'll be notified by email when your membership comes up for renewal.
