Store/Amazon purchase = free ApolytonPLUS month

It's simple: we give you or friend of yours a free month of ApolytonPLUS for every purchase you make from:
- The Apolyton Store
- The Amazon stores in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France and Germany

The process is easy:
a) make the purchase through the links listed above
b) contact us with the following details: full name(only for Apolyton Store purchases), date, item(s) you bought. Dont forget to tell us if you want to add your free month to your existing subscription or if (especially if you're a Lifetime member) you want to make it a gift to a friend.

Note: Non-members can take advantage of this offer as well!

How do I write what I bought from Amazon? And when does it work... I just bought a book from Amazon yesterday... is it only from today?

[MarkG]

[Adagio]

Yep, I got the link from this site bookmarked (the uk adress that is)

what do you need it for?

/me thinks, lifers deserve a special place in the "apolyton hall of fame"

[FlameFlash]

/me sighs.

Sure, I make a bunch of purchases through the 'poly Amazon link and now we start getting other rewards.

Oh well, it's much appreciated to recognize they whole buying from Amazon thing... especially since sometimes I just buy from Amazon to help 'poly out when I might have gotten a better deal elsewhere (like with the upcomming Smallville Season 1 purchase for the wife... shhh... it's supposed to be a surprise.)

[MarkG]

when did you make your last purchase?

Not an "official" one, no. The information could be compiled by someone checking user profiles and looking under each record's 'Subscriber Status:' field.

PM link/new PM indicator

A new ApolytonPLUS benefit: a link directly to your private messages on the top menu of forum pages. It has the following features:

- Shows number of messages since last visit and unread messages.
- When you dont have any unread messages it will send you to your main pm page
- When you have unread messages the link sends to most recent unread pm

[Adagio]

Nice, been waiting for this for a while... thx

Does May 4th count?

[Locutus]

Yesterday I noticed there was a 'deny receipt' link for PMs as well that I hadn't noticed before (Neat! ). Is that a new thing for PLUS members as well?

[Adagio]

Haven't that one been there for a while?

Cool! Thanks Markos.... details sent.

I also reminded my wife that all future amazon purchases must go through 'poly.

purchase confirm, enjoy your extra month

[Adagio]

Just a suggestion:

Could the first number in the pm line be the number of unread pms, while the second one to be the number of new pms since last visit?

That's how I read it now, and gets "annoyed" when I read: "pm (1/0)" as I've got one unread pm...


... just a suggestion...





And I guess I have to get used to it... recieved a pm 3 hours ago, didn't notice it before now... but without this thing I probably wouldn't have seen the pm before I was going to send a pm myself

[DarkCloud]

great feature! I second ADG's statement about this making it a lot easier to access pm's Also, it seems as though flood control for PM's was turned down, is this an ApolytonPlus feature, or did I just not notice it before. I remember it usted to take 90 seconds to be able to send a PM... now the flood seems to be less than 60 seconds.

[DrSpike]

I was just about to start a thread on this. Just as well I poked my nose in here first.

There is an issue with your user group, contact the admins in order to setup your subscriptions.

I get this message when I attempt to sign up the program. I know it has something to do with the fact that I have mini-mod powers in the C3CISDG private forum. Can I get a bit of help?

[MarkG]

you're good to go Octavian!

[MarkG]

pm flood control is still 90 secs and unless i hacked a plus benefit in my sleep there's no difference for supporters

[DrSpike]

When you are asleep this evening would you consider the hack anyway?

[MarkG]

i'll consider it but there are other benefits coming up first
