Conversations I noticed ads started showing up for me today, so I'm thinking my paid membership may have expired, but I don't see anywhere to renew it. Am I missing it?

I'll make sure it's available to you in your user box in the upper right hand corner.

It's not a bug, it's a feature!

Sadly, you have discovered out sophisticated notification system. When your time runs out, it just stops working. Maybe someday we'll actually send you an email to warn you when you have a week left.

That's kind of why I posted this as a conversation, instead of a private message. I fancy others may find themselves in this situation, only they might just say "whatever". I think it would be good to notify the user. Also, I would always have a renew subscription link (not just when it is running out) available somewhere on My Account page. It would show how much time is left, and perhaps turn red near the end.

I like OSNews!
