Actually if you read my post...I clearly quoted someone saying that they can not renew their membership. My reply of 'Stillllllllllllll down' would obv. mean the ability to renew membership via the website is 'Stilllllllllll down'.
Any who....
I have resolved my expiring premium membership by calling Groundspeak customer service. They are aware of the bug and the web developers are working on fixing it. In the mean time the customer service rep allowed me to paypal them the $30 and renewed my Premium membership status.....all in a matter of less then 10 minutes.
Groundspeak Customer service: (206) 302-7721 (option 3 i believe)
