• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

Don't know how the algorithm determines "slightly read content", but the result is mostly red icons. The Café and Lab are red, whereas the Hangout is greyish.

Anyhoo...thanks for improving the visibility :nerd-face:

Hi Jan :)
You should be able to log in to your Account Portal:
Then choose which sub you want (monthly or yearly)
then you'll see two possible payment methods, Stripe or PayPal.
Stripe is more versatile (Visa, Amex, other bank cards etc).
Let me know if any probs.

Thanks, Pete. When I navigate to that page, the message says "Since you already have an active membership, we are assuming that this is a gift purchase." I just want to change my existing account's payment method. Perhaps I'm being a bit thick-headed this morning. Still on my first cup of tea. I'd appreciate any/all guidance. :)
