Note that both extra books are ready now, and that everyone who subscribed already has been sent download links to these books: let me know if you've subscribed, but somehow did not get the e-mail with the links.

Hi Patrick, love the site! I was just thinking to myself the other day that if there was some sort of premium service for subscribers, I'd sign up in a heartbeat. Then today I saw that there was, and I signed up in a heartbeat.
I signed up by paying by credit card, without a paypal account, and I never saw an "instructions to merchant" place where I could enter my username. I could of course, just have been blind.
Anyway, it's saying I'm not subscribed, but my bank account says the payment hasn't been processed yet, I'm presuming when it does get processed, I'll be automatically subscribed, but if I haven't entered my username anywhere, will things grind to a halt?
Sorry for being difficult, have a good day :)

Sorry for being difficult, have a good day :) No, you're not difficult: currently I'm processing the subscriptions manually (I run a script with your username and/or part of your email address, it finds the appropriate records in the site database and the forum database, and does all the right things ![Laugh :-)](./images/smilies/msp_laugh.gif) ) So if you subscribe during waking hours (GMT), then you could be subscribed right away.. So I still have to do the thing where Paypal automatically goes back to my site after payment, and all the changes are done automatically (so here's my chance to complain about the ![Cursing [cursing]](./images/smilies/msp_cursing.gif) Paypal testing environment..)

Well, I'm subscribed now, so it's all good. I'm in New Zealand so I think I subscribed in the middle of the night everywhere else :)
Thanks again, it feels good to give you some money for some extra stuff.

Is it possible to remove the timeout by the 'next unsolved puzzle' link for subscribers?

Patrick, Currently on the rankings in the breakdowns by category, you appear to be lumping the points available to subscribers only in with the points available to everyone. Is that what you intend? Your 5/25/12 reply to rickt appeared to suggest otherwise.

No, that's not my intention, just haven't gotten round to implementing that split yet ![Bored [bored]](./images/smilies/msp_bored.gif)

I have noticed another small bug with the subscriber features. If you solve the puzzles from left to right the extra puzzle will be the last one you solve. When you solve the penultimate puzzle - the 10x10 today - the 'go to next unsolved puzzle' link should take you to the extra puzzle. But instead it takes you to the 'normal' puzzle of the same category. So today the 'normal' 8x8 hard puzzle page renders instead of the 'extra' 8x8 hard puzzle.
I noticed this earlier but in reverse when I solved the placeholder extra puzzles before today's 8-point puzzles. That time I solved the extra puzzle, a 4x4, and then started with the easiest puzzles. When I completed the 4x4 medium difficulty puzzle the 'go to next unsolved puzzle' link took me to 5x5 easy. Again that was because I had solved a 4x4 difficult. It was an 'extra' puzzle but it was still a 4x4 hard.
Thanks, Patrick. I'm really enjoying the new features.
