ApolytonPLUS: now in Beta!

[MarkG]

i'm happy to announce that ApolytonPLUS, our much-talked subscription service, is now in beta

People who want to try it out and help us find any problems we missed can email me at markg@apolyton.net

For the beta testing period only we have added a 1$/1 month choice.

You'll be needing a credit card or an active paypal account (funded from a credit card or a bank account)

Beta testers will of course be informed of all the details of the system but will be asked not to reveal anything so that the suprise is not spoiled

(it looks like the IWS game, doesn't it? )

[MarkG]

hmmm interesting
i just tried to do a purchase wihtout being logged in, as if i didnt have a paypal account. the system doesnt allow me to complete the purchase, saying

Your account registration cannot be completed. To complete this transaction please register at http://www.paypal.com

probably due to the greekness of my location and credit card

US citizens without a paypal account shouldnt have this problem i believe....

I didn't have an account and WAS required to get one. No problem; that's what I expected before you said otherwise.

Hmmm...Paypal says I already have an account and I don't. I had to fill out a form for them asking for resolution. Says up to 2 days for an answer.

*Note to self: Must talk to wife about paypal...

That was my experience as well. Not a problem.

Question though Mark...in this Beta test are all the benefits being implemented right now? I haven't seen any pop-up ads, but the rest of the benefits haven't appeared yet either.

Great stuff
Thanks Markos

My experience so far:

The ad on top of the window has disappeared
The ad at the bottom of the window hasn't.
I have experienced no popup yet.
The annoying ads when I click non-Poly links are still here

All private forums are displayed in the "forum jump" bar, but I can't access them.
I can access my team's private forum without any problem though.

I can access the staff forum! (now, maybe I should have taken a peek before saying so ). This one doesn't only display: I can really access it (checked, but don't worry, I closed the window while not looking at the screen )
Speaking of which, I can access the Candle'abre private forum.

I see the link for it too, though I haven't clicked on it....yet. Hmm, let's see what should I blackmail...err charge the mods to not go into that forum?

1$ a month

[Nubclear]

I'd gladly pay $1 a month
But I'm not going to get a credit card just for Apolyton. Sorry

[Spiffor]

If I read the FAQ correctly, you can wire money instead of using a credit card.
