Maybe it is being lodged under another name?

There was a payment made on Feb 7 by someone using a name and email address that is not in the members register ... can you say in a private message what paypal name etc you used to pay the sub

Yes, should have sent query before now, done.

and thank you

Update so you can read this next year...

Same answer as last year.

Your Paypal has one email address, and your forum login has another....

Remind us next year to do it manually again!!!

It was not my intention to offend anyone and I apologize if the tone was not "appropriate" ... it was written to play down the situation.
Unfortunately there is little I can do to help the SME distribution (especially since 4 months since I became a grandfather ... sigh ... old age advances); the report was made to make sure that what little I do at least ends up in the right pockets and not in Paypal.

This is a bug inherent with the Paypal way to propagate the information and probably an issue with paypal account being different from the forum email.
We are indeed more than happy to fix that on an annual basis if you contact us.

Paypal way to communicate is kind of a UDP like method, wether our forum get it or not, it doesn’t retry.
I tried multiple time to debug also the regular message we get from the forum subscription plugin for unknown subscription without success.
