While I lay dying... Platinum membership conundrum

Hello all, after 8 weeks' absence! Yeah, I know, you didn't miss me because I'm generally quiet, lolol... Meanwhile, 8 weeks ago, shortly before my Plat Club ran out, I went down, literally, with a brain infection. I literally was dying when my membership expired, lol! In a drug-induced coma for 2 weeks, followed by a very slow 2 weeks of waking up (and my war PTSD kicking in - wow, wild ride!), I am finally compos mentis, and have discovered that in my account it says my membership was cancelled, despite my having chosen automatic renewal. BUT WAIT! it gets weirder! When I go to the page for purchasing PC+, the BUY button is marked PURCHASED. Also, pricing on item pages shows me the discounted amount. Anyone care to hazard a guess at the mysterious limbo in which I find myself, please?
Hope you are all well! :D

Wow! Welcome back. Did you Van Winkle through the storepocalypse? All of the Daz symptoms you have mentioned seem to be relatively common, judging by forum posts. PC+ added 5 more letters for awhile (FUBAR). You may need a ticket to get it sorted. I did.
Have you checked the prices apply in cart? I know that the store often continues to show me PC+ prices while I'm logged out (other cookies, maybe?), so it's possible that something similar is going on here.
It may alternatively be a glitch persisting from when the store software was updated a few weeks ago.
In any case, the best approach is to contact Daz Support; they'll have the correct answers, rather than wild guesses.
Glad you came out of all that Ok! There have been some glitches in the PC memberships- I'd put in a support ticket and maybe a PM to Jack in the hat- the PC guru.

Storepocalypse?? LOLOL - brilliant! Yep, missed all that, didn't know it happened. Apparently while you guys were cussing out the web designers, I was cussing out the poor nursing staff who were saving my life, because I thought I was in a military prison and the guards were trying to kill me. When trying to escape death, one doesn't have much awareness, haha!
Thanks Jack! Will give it a day or two first. Can't spend much money at the mo, till I earn som, lol!
Thanks Matt, can't spend just yet so will wait a day or two... :)
You don't necessarily need to spend, just see what price is actually shown when something is added to your basket; the price shown on the store page may sometimes be using cached data, but the price in the cart shouldn't.
...that's a pretty scary experience actually and very glad you pulled through.
Forget Daz, just SO happy you are okay. Pamper yourself!
Hugs, Cathie
Whoa! You've had an extremely rough time!
I'm very happy to hear that you're recovering though. What a scary thing to go through. I'm glad you're healing and made it through! *big hugs*
As for the membership, you can always repurchase anything you already purchased - just go to the product's page and click on red "Purchased" button and it will add it to your cart again.
If you still have any issues please feel free to contact Daz3D support: https://www.daz3d.com/help
Dang, I envy you... I wish I had a brain to get infected... all I got is one of those foam rubber squishies* I found at the bus station... I think it was a pineapple, but it was run over by the busses a lot, so I'm not sure... it looked kinda brainy so I figured that'd do...
Anyway, I hope your brain is feeling better, and you are all recovered and whatnot... I guess that's all... this stupid foam rubber pineapple isn't helping with the thinking stuff... but get well and stay well.
*A squishy, in case you are not privy to knowledge of the squishy scene is a soft foam rubber figure, mostly food items with faces (but pretty much anything, small animals, cartoon characters, emojis, pineapple brain substitutes, etc.) that can be used as a key fob or stress ball or stuffed in ones skull (as in the case of funk dirty pineapple)... they are collectible and trendy and since they've been around for at least two years probably no longer popular with kids as they were in the beginning.
Thanks Kyoto, it really was, esp what my brain was telling me while un- and semi-conscious. It really gave me a new insight on what the brain is capable of. :)
Thanks Cathie, that's sweet!
Thanks 3Diva, think I'll write a book!
Brilliant, thanks for the info. :)
LOLOL, thanks for the laughs McGyver! My brain has now recovered completely (this I know because I used the word "parsimoniously" in a WhatsApp and my daughter replied that I must be back to normal because she had to go look it up, and I always bow to the superior guesswork of my daughter). The next few weeks are all about recovering my muscles and mobility, and I know we are getting somewhere with that because my pain levels have risen dramatically. lol!
...banana slugs are squishy too, but in a more disgusting way (particularly when walking around at my old place barefoot)..
@kyoto kid
A banana slug is a good idea, but unless you plug up your ears, they are just gonna leave and then you'll have a slime trail across your pillow and still won't have anything inside your head... aside from banana slug slime.
Also... I have no idea why they are called "banana" slugs... they don't eat bananas, they don't come in bunches like bananas and they taste nothing like bananas... they definitely cannot be used as a banana substitute in a banana split... the consistency and texture is way off, and if slice you them down the middle their guts just gush out and the whole aesthetic look of the banana split is ruined and nobody wants to eat it... and also sometimes they get mad because you tried to feed them slugs again.
Maybe it's because if you step on one with your flip-flops on while going down the front walk steps, early in the morning while going to pick up the newspaper from the driveway, it's like stepping on a fresh banana peel...
Fun fact... slug slime is extremely viscose and slippery, but when smooshed between ones toes, it leaves the skin very smooth... like weirdly smooth.
I suppose the slime is the reason slugs are so soft and wrinkle-free... which is the reason I'm currently working on an anti aging compound called "Slug-In-A-Tube"... the marketing part might need some tweaking... maybe it should come in a can or jar?... Whatever, but if Shark Liver Oil, or Kangaroo Anus Extract is an acceptable beauty compound, then I'm sure people will be beating down my door for this, instead of the other things they are usually beating on my door while holding pitchforks and torches about...
Edit- Sorry... Cow Placenta is used in some expensive beauty compounds, not Kangaroo Anus Extract... kangaroo anus extract is primarily used in Pringles Potatoe Crisps "Bacon Cheddar" to give it that unique kangaroo anus flavor.

I'm glad your brain and you are feeling better and back to using words like "parsimoniously" which I'm assuming has something to do with marriage to a parsnip...
I was worried you might think I was taking brain infections too lightly and not trying to express my concern and hope that you recovered completely...
As a person who has lost their brain and their mind many times, I assure you that was the furthest from my mind... wherever the hell it is.
I also figured since they say "laughter is the best medicine" a little humor wouldn't be a bad idea, even though I kinda think that's alotta hooey, because there are lots of medical conditions where laughing can kill you, especially if you are experiencing said condition while surrounded by angry hyenas, who'll undoubtedly think you are making fun of them...
But not only that, if it were a "best medicine" wouldn't they put it in little bottles or jars (like my slug purée) and give it stupid names like "Slugestra" or "SlugenAll" and grossly overcharge people for it?
But still, since people seem to enjoy laughing and are always laughing about it, I figured what were the chances you'd be surrounded by angry hyenas while reading that.
Anyway... sorry to hijack this thread, but since they started locking the doors on airplanes, and most city buses can't really go 50 miles per hour for very far, threads are the only fun thing to hijack.
Feel better and stay well... cheers!
A banana slug is what you get when you really anger a banana.
@3DScreencraft So happy to hear you are getting better, I can only imagine what a scary experience that was for you and your family! Wishing you a continued speedy recovery going forward *HUGS*
Haha, you guys are hilarious1 Thanks for the uplifting humour; it's so great being part of a creative hivemind - we think differently. Funnnn! :)
I'm so glad you are recovering well. I know someone who went through that as a result of an inner ear infection that migrated and caused an abscess in the brain that burst and nobody had any idea about it until he had a seizure in the middle of the night and broke his wife's nose. After that it was a few weeks in hospital for him and then afterwards rehab . A very frightening proposition for everyone.
I think I laughed for about 30 seconds because of "funk dirty pineapple". That's what I needed today. And money. But that too.
