Supporting Team Members help IllinoisCarry with their contribution, while getting an increase in PM storage, and better search functionality as a benefit. EDIT: Supporting Team Members may now CC: (carbon copy) more than one recipient on a PM.

Here's how you become a Supporting Team Member:

1. Locate your username in the upper right hand corner and click the drop-down menu to access "Purchase Paid Subscription"




2. Click the radio button and then the "continue" button




3. Confirm your choice on the next screen and click the "continue" button again



4. Click the paypal button, which will take you to the paypal site to complete your transaction.



5. Fill in your payment info




And that's it!

 

p.s.  We match subscriptions with email address.  If you subscribe or renew with an email address different than you log in with - please note your screen name in the 'instructions to merchant' .

I sent a PM to Molly, but I'll throw this out here as well.

My Membership is coming up in March and was wondering if a 'life' or 'multi-year' member ship is offered. If not, it might be a good idea...

This is from another thread, here on the boards. It might be an option sometime in the future

Are there any plans to offer lifetime memberships? Is supporting team member status the only membership level available? Perhaps there is an explanation on the website that I overlooked, if so, I apologize. Thanks.

At this time we have two levels of membership - regular member status and Supporting Team Member. We do not
have plans at this time to offer lifetime memberships but that might be an option in the future.

OK, I click on my user name and before I can click on to purchase a subscription its gone to my member page. I tried about 4 times, not fast enough on the draw I guess.

That happened to me some time ago. Danged if I can remember what I was told to do to fix it, but it was an easy fix. If one of the techies doesn't stumble onto this thread and help you, drop a note to Pyre, Chris, or MikeW. They can prolly help.

There is a browser setting that causes that. I'll PM you the link, its actually here in the support forum somewhere.

For the interim, an alternative method would be to click on the "subscriptions" tab, just beneath all the banners:

I'll just post the link here, as someone else is bound to have the same issue.

I'm pretty sure this was the fix - http://illinoiscarry...showtopic=20120

I went back and found my fix. If you go to the very top of the screen to the address bar. Clear out on the right hand end will be a series of icons. One looks like a torn sheet of paper. Roll over it and it's called the "compatibility view". Clicking on this fixed my problem.

I think I found the website that Pyre speaks of too. If the compatibility thing doesn't work for you, I'll dig up the link and post it. My trouble started when I went to a different machine with Windows 7 and IE9.

It may require a manual operation - from what I can tell the system did not reflect your transaction, but that doesnt mean something went wrong. I'd give it a day.

Thanks by the way for your subscription renewal

[C0untZer0]

I used Google Pay, maybe it is processed as a donation instead of a subscription / membership ?

[Molly B.]

I see Supporting Team Member under mailterry's avatar but not the C0unts. Will check into it!

[MaxdOut]

Aw I just donated a few days ago but did not do it as directed above, but that's OK, I'll donate again shortly and I'll do it right next time.....

They will figure it out, Im angry and trying to figure it out myself, they need it to fight the good fight!!!!

$$$ is coming and God Almighty these traitors WILL LOSE!!!

[Jason4567]

I think I did the same thing as Maxd. Just clicked donate instead of following the directions above. What is the enhanced search functionality? Perhaps searching below 4 characters? That would be awesome.

Thanks for the info pyre400 on signing up. Just did so a few minutes ago. I've been looking around mostly for over a year and finaly decided to support the site,it's the little I can do for all the hard work that Molly and Todd and the rest of you have been doing for all of us in Illinois. Greatly appreciate it,I've done the witness slips,now put some money towards the cause. Hopefully I can add an IL CCW permit to my other four I have. Thanks, Mark

[pyre400]

Alternatively, a check or M.O. in the amount of $25 can be sent too.
Please include a note in the envelope, indicating the screen name, and desire to be a Supporting Team Member.

The check, made payable to "Illinois Carry Inc", can be mailed to:
 

Illinois Carry
1111 W North 4th St
Shelbyville, IL

As always, thank you all for your support!!

[Paulkucz]

How long does it take to display the "Supporting Members Team" or is that something I have to manually enter?  Thanks,

[C0untZer0]

I think mine maybe took an hour or two...

[Paulkucz]

Thanks, I submitted via PayPal on Tuesday.  Do you think I should PM Molly, or is there someone else who handles the subscription membership?

[mauserme]

I dropped her a note for you.

Thanks for subscribing.

[C0untZer0]

I also sent my transaction number and the e-mail that the PayPal transaction was associated with to make it easy for her to track down.

[Paulkucz]

Thank you both.

Just noticed that my subscription expires today - but no email notification was sent. I re-upped - but is it not possible to send reminders when subscriptions are about to expire?

[Chief Illiniwek]

Create a "Renew IC Subscription" appointment for your anniversary date in your e-mail calendar and set a reminder for however far ahead you want the heads-up.

Mine expires today.

Just re-upped.

I did the $25 subscription through PayPal this morning. Like some of the others above, not showing as a supporting member. I didn't save the PayPal email, but I can get the transaction number from my credit card  if needed.  

 

Fortunately, I missed all the snow. Currently I am down in South Carolina - made a stop at PrecisionOne for some bulk 9mm and .380 as well as their HP/XTP rounds for both - Glad I drove, lost of room for ammo. it is sunny, 70 and I'm just looking out at the ocean :-}

Sometimes it takes a couple days .

We used to have this feature but after one of our upgrades it ceased to function.

[RoadyRunner]

No problem Molly B, I'll create a calendar appointment.
