I think I must work more on my blog advertisment ;-)



1. New script
The new script is still not completely finished. I had to put the site online today because you deserve it, but there are a couple of sections not working (contact form and advertisement), those two should be ready this weekend.
I have tested the script as much as I can, but I know there can still be some bugs here and there. Please, I you detect anything wrong, let me know.
2. New features
Some of the new things in the site (and there are more coming soon) are:
- New PIN for all accounts. Before you can start using the site, you must provide a secret PIN. This PIN will be used when requesting payments, updating your profile, etc.
- You can now buy Premium Membership, Referrals and Advertisement with your balance as well as with AlertPay of course.
- We now have a six month premium membership available.
- Manual replacement of inactive referrals. You will be able to replace your inactive referrals for a small fee that can also be paid with your balance.
- Minimum number of clicks to request payment for standard members is set to 50 ads. Premium members don’t have this restriction. I have set that number to 50 for all standard members so they can request payment immediately.
- All referral packages include advertisement credits that you can use to promote your site. I am confident this will increase the number of ads a lot.
- You can see where your pending payments will be sent (AP account) and will have the option to cancel those pending payments.
3. Pending purchases
There were some pending purchases when the server went down. This is how we will handle them.
Advertisements: I will double the number of ads and activate them today.
Memberships: Accounts will be upgraded today.
Referrals: I will wait to see which members come back, and I will only deliver referrals that click after today. This will reduce the possibility to get inactive referrals, but it will slow the delivery a day or two.
4. Inactive members
If you purchased referrals and got them before the update, there is a chance that they will become inactive. I will monitor the activity of referrals purchased this month to see how they are doing. I will find the way to help you if MOST OF YOUR REFERRALS become inactive.
5. Pending Payments
We have a little over $57,000 in pending payments, and over $42,000 were to be paid during the last week. Due to our short waiting time, a week offline causes big delays in the payment system.
Now, if everybody requested payment today, we will have to pay over $42,000 in seven days… that is not possible. So to prevent “bankrupt” I have set a daily limit for payments. This means that we will not accept more than $5,000 in payment requests a day, and never more than $2,000 per member. This will help up divide the pending payments more evenly. So, if you receive a message stating that you can not request today, don’t worry and try a little later… remembering that now pending payments can be canceled, and that will free funds for payments. Once we are stable again, I will eliminate that limit.
6. Site design
As you can see we changed the color of the site. The original idea was to have at least three different designs, but with all the rush I didn’t feel that was a priority. So we are using the only one that was ready when the server went down. I will add more later.
7. Contact
As you can imagine I am behind in replying emails, PMs and posting in the forum. I will try to catch up during the weekend, but don’t take it personal if I don’t personally answer to your messages.
