Thank you received my certificate after I put the zero dollar order in for it. The certificate did go to my spam folder. Found it and opened it then printed it. I also put this email in a O Gauge forum email folder that I made.
Thank you, now just to get a nice gram for it👍
Just came across this thread. Alan, please save me the trouble of reading through 6 pages of comments. How does one turn off automatic billing?

Once you are a supporting member, you can cancel the auto renew in the supporting member section of this site.
Thanks, Marty
I'm in too! I have gained more than $12 worth of information and know I will seek more info in the coming years!

I just signed up. As stated in previous posts, I have received at least $12.00 worth of information and or knowledge from the site.
Thanks;

I just did a digital and print subscription. Am I supposed to do something else? The most recent issue was worth the price of admission! Thanks.

Thanks Iron Horse'... it worked great, I appreciate your post'
I’m happy to make my small contribution to support this wonderful resource.
I hope others can find the means to do the same.
I signed up for a supporting membership today and I’m glad to help OGR during this difficult time for the hobby I love.
l became involved in local politics two years ago, and got elected to serve on our city commission. The position has taken up a good deal of my time, especially my train time.
I’ve been away from the OGR forum and neglected my trains for too long.
I’m looking forward to lurking around the forum again and seeking advice on a bunch of repairs I’ve been putting off for a while now.
Thanks and take care,
Richard Gonzales
Signed up as well! Lots of great info here.
It's a very small way to say thank you for all these pages have brought to me and our hobby in general over the years.
It’s a pleasure to become a supporting member. The wealth of knowledge and general camaraderie that I have had the pleasure to have received here over many years. This was a no brainer ! Done!
I'm glad to be a Supporting Member to help keep this forum going. It is easily the best train forum there is.
RE This forum sucks. GEE fellow modeler it's a crazy weekend. If your not going out of town you are probably expecting someone. A little patience is in order here. Alan I see what you mean in your edit a few weeks ago. Let's all go back to the starting line and try again.Happy T Day for all. Charlie Hope this helps
I have never observed this forum to apply vacuum to anything. In fact, being an inanimate object, it cannpt perform any such "mechanical" function.
Well, I just automatically renewed for my 2nd year as a Supporting Member and glad to help keep the forum 'on the air' so to say.
Morning Alan
I was blocked from entering the Forum this morning and was required to donate $12. Is this Kosher? or was this a spam? I donated during your first request but its been a while I guess. I will gladly donate again to the Forum before it is lost forever. Just send me a personal message to my email address to inform me as to what procedure to use from now on.

@OGR CEO-PUBLISHER just to give Alan a heads up!

Hi Seth,
I have no idea why you would have received this notice unless it was some sort of glitch. You are already a forum member and not new to this place so this is a puzzle to me! Just send me an email at adman@ogaugerr.com and we will figure this out. Thanks!
My "Supporting Member" subscription just auto renewed. More than happy to support OGR Forum.
If you are not a Supporting Member and use this forum please consider becoming one. IMO it certainly is worth the $1 a month.
Marty, I see mine is set to renew at 6:59 this evening. I’m glad to be a supporting member as well!!
Mark, how did you learn that?
RJR,
I selected my profile name, then Settings, then OGR Forum Supporting Membership and scrolled down.
Yes, I had to hunt around until I found it myself.
Agreed. $12 a year is a bargain.
Just signed up.
I got an email indicating mine was going to auto renew. Easy peasy and happy to continue my membership (and digital subscription).
@Rider Sandman posted:I got an email indicating mine was going to auto renew. Easy peasy and happy to continue my membership (and digital subscription).
Same here, tomorrow at noon.
Just got an email stating my membership has been paid. Best $12 I spend every year. Except maybe for the money I spend on trains… and Irish Whiskey 
I first joined OGR in January of this year, so mine doesn't renew until February.
But, this seems like a good place to ask this question. Besides some of the posting names (when looking at a post) you see 'Member', others say 'OGR Forum Member'. I couldn't find where that distinction is. Can anyone answer that? To me it seems based on how long you've been on OGR.
Does becoming a full member, and $3, get you a latte at SBUX?
I have never been asked to fork over the $3. What you get for your money is the use of the forum, which costs money to operate. Once there was an institution called the "free lunch counter." My grandfather told me about it. Before prohibition, many saloons had, in addition to a bar, a large table on which were piled cold cuts, breads, and other sandwich fixings. If you bought a nickel scooter of beer, you had the right to go to this table and make yourself a sandwich at no extra charge. Unfortunately notwithstanding what many people currently believe regarding government handouts, there is no longer a free lunch counter. Someone has to bear the burden of underwriting the cost of running the farm, and who better than the users?
I am hoping my continuing subscription gets me preferential seating at the annual banquet. 
I received a notice the other day, I think all went well and I’m happy to be a supporting member. I would think they would notify us if the payments didn’t go through. This is a great Forum, lots of interesting topics, people, pictures, videos, a place where we can enjoy the hobby with folks with all kinds of backgrounds, and learn the how to do things from the best. It’s an up to date encyclopedia of Model Railroading. You might say for $1 a month it’s the best show in town. Happy Railroading Everyone
it bothers me that some want to have their cake and eat it too. Out of 25 listings on the first page of the For Sale forum, there are only 8 with a blue banner. Some of those without are very regular posters. We should be able to do better than that.

You get a ride in the corporate helicopter with Allan Miller. 😀
@RJR,
I’m not being critical but I think you misunderstood my post. I am a supporting member. After my serious question on ‘member’ vs ‘OGR forum member’, I made a weak attempt at a joke.
Do I read my print copy cover to cover? no
Do I use the digital library often? no
Am I on the forum often? everyday multiple times.
My dollars spent on OGR are very small compared to what I get out of it.
@MartyE posted:You get a ride in the corporate helicopter with Allan Miller. 😀
That works for me, sounds like a fun perk!
I know a person who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. Sort of sad, but that's the way he is. I put a very high value on this Forum and am more than happy to be a supporting member -- as long as I don't have to go for a ride on the chopper.
Gerry
I renewed last week.
Wat da hey, $1 per month? Can't get a better deal
@PRRMP54 posted:Same here, tomorrow at noon.
Came through right on time; just as the email stated.
I had mine subscription on auto-renew. Went thru yesterday. I use and enjoy this forum immensely so it’s the least I can do. (I also subscribe to the print mag. )
Wow, my subscription just renewed a few minutes ago, thank you OGR for keeping your fun Forum so enjoyable. Happy Railroading Everyone
Mine renewed earlier today -- @$12.00 It's the best value out there. Thanks.
Finally added the supporting membership. Been clicking the X on the pop up and kept saying " I gotta add that one day"
One day arrived!
Thanks OGR team for the best model train site on the interweb!

WOW!!! John's post is amazing. I never really thought about it, but now that it has been brought to my attention, I think it requires action. Where else can you buy and sell for free with such a focused market group? I have sold and bought on the Forum and have always tried to support OGR because I think that they try to support us in our hobby. I WILL BE BOYCOTTING SELLERS WHO ARE NOT SUPPORTING MEMBERS AND URGE OTHERS TO DO THE SAME. It amazes me how some people freeload and are not supportive of the very institutions which support them.
My supporting membership is due to renew this month. I value the Forum and am glad to be a supporting member.
Gerry
Note my post on the free lunch counter. Actually, it isn't dead. But if I spoke further, post would be deleted as political. In ancient Rome, "panem et circenses" the rule. The late Joseph Kennedy [late Potus's father] said to always use someone else's money.
I'm in. Mark
