There are here to help the transition to a new UI

They'll mellow, or you will, in time

Thanks! At first I thought you were experiencing technical problems or maybe my browser was acting up, but now I see it's a new format.

So, what does "Premium Member" mean?
EDIT: Nevermind, I found it. This is what was suggested three years ago to end the controversy related to advertising here.

(I hate red text and icons... Too related to medical emergencies, hospitals and blood tests.)

It doesn't happening under OSX safari. Everything works fine.
We should be able to see the tool set under quick reply, especially the quotes. And, a simple quote symbol is better than the one now. The link also - a chain, I don't quite understand what symbol may be this. But it's ok.

A dark skin? What about it? SCF always burns my eyes. This is important.

Ahh yes it works, a little tricky tho i must admit, as its on touch screen if you click remember me box the drop down menu closes and if you tap my account again it doesnt give drop down menu but a 404 error, the trick is when you open it on iphone the drop menu is open auomaticlly so ensure you tap into username tab and password tab then ignore remember me box and tap login, it works great, dont know if its just my phone but thats the only way to login for me

You need not use it. Just click anywhere outside the box and it closes.

Working great, pretty fast with IE10

awesome!!! Great work guys. So, I'm all about this premium membership, but when I try the subscribe link, I am getting to a different site (ends in .biz) which is asking for a logon, then gives me an error.

Rich O Brien

That is strange....

Which button?

http://sketchucation.com/community/premium-membership

or in your login box?

Oh it is still pointing at the beta forum domain ... [confirmed]

That should be easy to fix. (@Rich I PM'd you the technical nitty-gritty.)

So...now I'm a premium member. Still can't find the private consultation room that is mentioned. Where is it?
I also think the premium member banner is too big/noticeable. Since its red it drags attention away from the post. Even admins/top sketchucators are more subtle.
Edit: I also noticed that I now have the same color as the Ad Machine.
Another thought. I don't like the double sketchucation logos at the top. But that's maybe just a coincident?

Hi Jan,

The system is programmed that once you subscribe to premium membership, you automatically become a member of the Premium users usergroup (his is how we can organize certain permissions on the forums) and this will automatically become your default usergroup as well. But you are still a "Registered member", too (and member of any other usergroups you have added ourself).

Premium members have the possibility to change their default membership however. Please, go to your UCP and if you do not like the striking red (I can understand that), change your default usergroup to whatever you wish. Here is a (reduced) version of my memberships. On the left, select the checkbox and press the button.

Note that currently only Premium members and Top SketchUcators can change their default group
the ad machine... This was a request on the old forums - to make some visual difference between the "real" posters and the ad machine.It's a real co-incidence the colours ended up like this but you are right, it is not very dignified this way so I will find some other colour for that machine.

Now as for "private consulting rooms" - these are not something automated but we set them up as soon as requested. Here is yours for instance. We have already prepared a (growing) list of the available services Premium members are entitled but decided to dump the page at the last minute as new features were added* even yesterday and the whole thing needs to be rewritten.

*e.g. we managed to introduce a new feature - currently only with external plugin authors but this is planned to expand - where Premium members get a 20% discount straight from the developers (purchasing straight through their channels). Note that SketchUcation does not get any commission - it's just something we hope to be useful and mutually beneficial for both Premium membership and plugin authors who we can support this way.
