hey fred,
unfortunately, only admins have the ability to deal with donation and subscription transactions, and it's my understanding that when the forum got switched to the new vbulletin format recently, that even the admins ability to change donations to subscriptions was lost ?
as of right now, cbaber the owner, is the only admin.
but it's prolly useless to message him, as he will tell you the same ?
not sure why your paypal account got locked, i've dealt with hundreds of members needing help with subscribing and have never be advised of any such paypal locking ?
best i can tell you is to subscribe when your PP gets straight ?
sorry
