OK - I set these recently upgraded accounts back to display the upgrade and believe that the issue with the right column is resolved. You can change your settings to disable the right column or to not show the supporting badge if you like.
Roy,
There will be several additional features added for premium members. It will all get announced when the program is rolled out--which will be soon!
It appears it HAS been rolled out. From this post, and the fact that my PM box is now "100% full" (even though I haven't received any new PMs), it appears the announcement is a little behind the times.
I wondered when it was going to become "pay to play."
Kurt - It will not be pay to play. The forum will remain free for regular members. Premium members will receive additional functionality for their accounts.
Yes - larger avatar, signature images, loads of PM storage space, ability to turn off some ads and the right side column and some other things. This should be fully functional in a day or so

Yep, I've had to delete messages cause I got to the limit.
I think a "paid" thing is a great idea. You get some perks like your signature and avatar is bigger for supporting the site.
I can GUARANTEE I have saved more than $15.02 just from the advice I've receiived here.
Do we get more picture storage too? I wasn't sure.
Heck, I was ready to plunk down the cash even before I saw there were perks.
I appreciate the opportunity to help support such a great site. And no one on this forum can really argue that! LOL
