By now you may have noticed that there is a new option on your USER-CP menu that says **Upgrade to Premium**.
https://secure.snowestonline.com/vbilling/order/join.html
While the upgrade option has been in place for a couple of weeks now, we added the link on Monday to make it easier for members to find as more and more people were asking about it.
As of today, there is still NO hard fast rollover date established, and the Free Memberships you have been enjoying still have 100% of their functionality.
Those who do choose to upgrade to the Premium membership will see a few differences right away though..
Your User Name font will change.
Your User Title will change
You will be able to read all public Social Forums without membership
You will have increased controls in Chat Box
You will be able to Open & Close your own threads
You will be able to tag other's threads
You will have Larger Picture Uploading (1024x768)
Your Avatar size will increase to (150x150)
Your Signature will allow Images
You can hide your user reputation from others
Your personal Photo Album size will increase to (1024x768)
You will have increased control in Social Groups.
Your paid membership also entitles you to several new features in the New SwapMeet that will allow you to make your ads stand out from all the others...
With time, the Free Basic Memberships will begin to comply with the features that were listed in the Letter to all SnoWest Members from Harris Publishing. But this will be a gradual process and will not happen all at once on any one given day.
The goal is to NOT have 10,000 members upgrade all at once and overload the processing system. Our hope is that we will have a nice steady flow of conversions day after day rather than a massive deluge all at once...
