I have added it in the post, the payment channel is Stripe. I have tried it using all 3 credit cards accepted.

Hi everyone, after one month of the new version of Totallympics, I have added the option to become a Premium Member. You can purchase the Premium Membership through the button "Buy Premium Membership" in your navigation bar. I have set the price to 15 euro per year, which right now will give you the following priviliges: -No ads shown around Totallympics: you will see no advertsiment in any page -Signature: you will be able to add a signature to be shown after each of your posts -Upload attachments: you will be able to upload pictures from your PC directly in a post. The price and the privilege list could change in the future according also to your feedbacks about that. For the moment everyone will be able to take part in the Prediction Contests, and you do not need to be a Premium Member to participate. For the moment, the only payment accepted is with credit card, with VISA, Mastercard and American Express being accepted. Just after the payment, you will be automatically listed as a Premium Member and you will get the priviliges of a Premium Member. I have tried the payment with my credit card and I have checked everything works and the transaction is safe. The payment channel used is Stripe. If you do not have a credit card and you would like to pay with another payment systems, you can contact me through Private Message and if possible we can choose another payment system and I will manually move you in the Premium Member User Group. Nobody is forced to buy the Premium Membership. For non registered users who wants to donate and registered users who think 15 euro per year is not the right price (too much/too less), you can use the Donate page to make a free donation, starting from 1 euro. Premium Members will get all and only the priviliges listed. They will get no other priviliges such as in Prediction Contests scores or in admins' support in a potential "fight" with a Non-Premium Member. Non-Premium Members will find more advertisments starting from today, I am sorry for that but the forum software we are using is pretty expensive and I have to pay it in some way.

Actually everything depended from thr server and some were lucky and some unlucky, for example I still have problems to enter the forum from my home connection but they should be fixed in the next hours.

Totallympics will go through a server's change in the next hours, so the forum could be down for some hours. The server's change will not change anything users can notice, it's just where the forum is based (we are moving from a French server to an Italian server). That's also the reason why some of you had problems to open Totallympics in the past few days, it should be all fixed just after the server's change will be completed.

It should be fixed now

We will still have problems for the next days because we are changing the server. The old webmaster was using a French server while we are going on an Italian server. Therefore you could still face problems for the next days, even though I really don't understand why some people can connect on the forum and some can not. Everything should be fixed by next week, anyway.

Those who want to leave a "feedback" for new users who will read the page "What is Totallympics?" can do that as a reply to that thread. We had Totallympics' users comments in the old forum which of course went lost so please those who can write a short comment there

That's strange, it's very quick from my PC and also from phone. Anyone else has noticed this problem ?

I think this one should be pretty fast. Maybe it get slower if you have many pages opened because as you can see if you have a new PM or a new notification you get it in real time. You will be able to upload images from your PC when we will add the premium membership, so that only premium members can upload pictures and the forum won't get too heavy with too many pictures.

About no. 1, one of the aim should be to come back to cover results and statistics one day, just I think now we should focus on other things with Rio just 6 months away. About no. 2, it's just a temporary decision to allow the discussion to start again, for sure we will have more threads in the future and not a single thread for each sport.

Here there are 8 threads right now but I can edit that number anytime to whatever I want. Maybe we will grow the number to 10 or 15 in the future but right now there are not so many threads so I think 8 is enough. Also there are 2 useful pages: Unread Content (a list of posts you have not read from your account in chronological order) and All Activity (a list of every single action that happens on the forum in real time)

@All users: please go on opening general discussion thread so that we will have one of them for each sport and users can start discuss there about that sport. Copy the format from the Archery Discussion Thread and open them in the same way for the missing sports (don't worry about the pictograms, I will upload them). Missing sports are: Cycling - BMX Cycling - Mountain Bike Field Hockey Golf Handball Triathlon Volleyball ----- Bobsleigh Cross-Country Skiing Curling Figure Skating Freestyle Skiing Luge Nordic Combined Short Track Speed Skating Skeleton Ski Jumping Snowboarding Speed Skating Thanks, Sindo

Try now, it should be fixed.

Do you remember if in the first days you were able to see them ?

Can you try again now ? Update the page before to check.

Can you show me the problem through a screen ?

What's the problem exactly ? What do you mean "can not read the site" ?

Do you mean in the Test Thread ? If so, we are doing some tests for the Prediction Contests.

Fixed now. You and other users passed from "Newbie" to "Member" user group and some permissions were different. It could happen again for next user group levels, just report them if it happens.

Soon. In the while, for communities with more users you can start to decide who will open it, to avoid problems when it will be time to open it. Not that it matters much who opens it anyway, there will not be any forced format like qualifications tables etc.

No idea until when KSR will be back.

Not yet, we have to re-organize everything and decide which events to have a thread for. Unfortunately Rio 2016 is very near and we are very short of time.

Invision Power Board is the most expensive forum software (you can check here https://www.invisionpower.com/buy/ ), but after I have checked all of them I think it's the best and it's even similar to Discuz for some things. This is also the reason why I will have to add premium membership and donations in the future
