I was doing some investigation and stuff on the site today and decided to est some things. I noticed that I am not receiving my @allkhazam.com and I have yet to ever receive a copy of the magazine that is advertised. I just noticed that the search forums function is back up so thanks for getting that back up and running.

Thanks for the site and keep up the good work guys.

The only other thing I have noticed is that I have to refresh the site fairly often when I am loading pages as they load but no information is displayed but the system says it has downloaded the page. Once I hit the refresh button everything is there. Any ideas?

Has anyone actually SENT e-mail to your @allakhazam address?

The magazine, you have to go to their website to set it up. It's a digital subscription, which means you get to read it online. You don't get a paper copy.

Actually yes people have attempted to send emails. They have been returned as undeliverable and I tested it myself today with the same result.

As for the magazine subscription correct me if I am wrong but the quote from Allakhazam does state "Issues will be mailed to the same address you use in registration." So I have made the natural assumption that I would be physically receiving the magazine.

I find this part extremely interesting:

Quote:
Regarding Computer Gaming World Subscription: Included in your premium membership is a 12-issue subscription to Computer Gaming World - a $8.00 value. Your name, mailing address and email address will be provided to Computer Gaming World for the purposes of fulfilling your magazine subscription. Issues will be mailed to the same address you use in registration. Expect your first issue in 4-6 weeks. If you choose not to receive the included magazine subscription you may request a refund of the subscription value. To request a refund, you must send a copy of your membership order confirmation e-mail and a self-addressed, stamped envelope to Computer Gaming World, 28 E. 28th St, New York, NY, 10016, ATTN: Allakhazan/CGW Subscription Offer.


This means that $8.00 out of $9.99/17.99/29.99 is actually for a CGW subscription, and I bet the majority of people haven't asked for a refund but didn't want/get the subscription. Now if only I could find my old confirmation e-mail...

It used to be a digital subscription, but that changed a little while ago (and the digital magazine sucked IMO, at least that crappy Zinio reader made it almost unbearable to read).

I've been a premium member since last Friday and nothing seems to work for me except for the search function. It shows that my premium membership is enabled in the User Account page, but I'm still have issues such as:

I still see banner ads.
I still get pop-ups.
I can't upload/use avatar images.
I can't update my custom title.
I can't use the Mob Value Search (WoW boards).

Can anyone help me out or at least point me in the right direction? I tried logging out and in again. As well as clearing my internet cache. I also tried this from my computer at work and still get the same issues.

Thanks in advance!
