MCB Supporting Members

I didnt notice the lifetime or I wouldve selected that. I did pick up for a year. As always, Thank you for a home on the internet.

Very glad to be here, this community has always been welcoming. I've been lurking a long time, with a roughly decade long hiatus from serious cruising. From a fresh faced 13 year old to a bitter slightly grizzled 32 year old with more expendable funds. Can't wait to see what's new and what's next.

I did the thing

[Riot]

I feel way better about having you as a co-host now.

[Frmrspec]

I didn’t even know this was a thing until you mentioned it.

Been here a while and finally decided I’d look mean in green. So I handed over the green.

[bouford]

[scottieb]

I just re-upped. w00t!

[I-tech]

Im a lifer.Woo hoo

[Slim]

I was green, now I'm not. My member subscription renewed via PayPal on 8/7/25, so no idea why it has ended early.

[Axel]

We had a vote. Sorry.

(Kidding... one of the other mods will have to fix this though as I have trouble accessing that part of the system)

[Slim]

Any update on this? I'm still feeling "blue". Sad face.

Shoutout to FredMnkyDad10 for bribing me with a Twistlock barrel to sign up for the green. I wasn't even sure how or where to sign up and that it was so cheap to support the site. Going lifetime when my dues are up!

[FredMnkyDad10]

Bribe?? You did not read the fine print of our deal. I get 20% of all your MCB deals. And I get to fondle any hotness you pick up. Hehehehehehehe

[Maxwell]

I need a new lawyer...🤣

Hey Carter, I'm reposting as my note above from a month ago hasn't gotten any traction. Not sure what happened, but my membership status went from green to blue. My member subscription renewed via PayPal on 8/7/25, so no idea why it has ended early. Any help is appreciated. Gracias in advance.

Must have missed the first one, fixing that now!!

[Slim]

Thank you sir! I appreciate it.

[Chemical-x.....ahain]

As I try to throw money at MCB it won't stick. This is the message I get as I try to renew.

[Carp]

Painthappy something is definitely amuck with the Paypal payment thingy.

[scottieb]

Carp It's still a no go.

[Painthappy]

Yeah, so paypal changed everything. vbulletin is end of life on 5.x.x and I will need to upgrade to 6.x.x according to them. Paypal ignores it. So I'll have to upgrade or manually change the page and manually edit memberships as needed. It's not that big of a deal, but of course it's not simple.

Just post up and I'll fix it and tackle this sometime next week.

I see. Forced compliance with Paypal.

I see am green again. Thank you.

PayPal likely has encryption and security requirements that simply aren’t met in an old piece of software. Considering it handles payments from people and companies all over the globe, tight security requirements seem appropriate, although I understand it’s obnoxious.

Painthappy best of luck, sir. Installing major releases can be a lot of work. And a lot of bug hunting.
