I think I might accept the 5 year offer. Am I to assume that IMA will inform me about how to do this? Don' forget - I am almost totally IT illiterate.

Yes, we will. But I'm drowning in work, so I won't be there until next week.

Amelia - the way to do this is to buy 4 of the 12 month subscriptions. One at a time. But buy them all in one day. Hope this helps.

complicated!

bravo !

Wie soll man denn das tun? Woher hast du das?

Was Du hier siehst, ist ein Ausschnitt aus der Originaldatenbank, die ich als Controller sowieso täglich scanne. Das ist einer meiner Jobs.
Inhaltlich ist es aber das Gleiche, was man - grafisch schöner präsentiert - als Kontoverlauf des eigenen Konto über folgenden Link abrufen kann: www.ipernity.com/club/history

I now see the link in your description.
It might be helpful to add this choice to the subscription page ...?
www.ipernity.com/club/subscribe

That would be desirable. However, it would require a change of the specified page, which (in seven languages must be adapted accordingly many html files) would cause again >500 EUR service costs. We have to do something different.

Maybe it is helpful to send a screenshot of the subscription history to a special IMA mail address?

If this choice will not be on the subscription page, I would like to suggest that the Ipernity/IMA blog entry that describes the 5-year offer should explicitly say that the way to do it is by purchasing 4 single year subscriptions. I too was expecting to find a "5-year offer" on the subscription page and hesitated when I wasn't sure about it.

Thanks for your efforts with this!

Nicht nötig, Rolf.
Ich sehe ja alle Zahlungseingänge sauber aufgelistet in einer Fakturierungsdatei.
Auf die Weise lässt sich sofort identifizieren, was 5-Jahres-verlängerungen sind.

In order to put the offer on the subscription page, we would have had to spend money again. Because such things require interventions in the main program, which have to run through our IT service provider. We wanted to save the Community these additional expenses.

Thank you for your help, Laura!

I understand, thank you.

There may be some difficulties for some club members. When I did it this morning, 1st, paypal asked for an additional security "capcha" for the 3rd transaction. Then my credit card company denied the third transaction and I had to call them and explain that I do approve of 4 similar legitimate transactions.
