Ah-ha... I think I found the problem.  One tiny little check box that wasn't toggled on the store side.  It should work now but reply back if it hasn't.  I'll be watching this thread.

Hmmm.  It should work but let me check it!

QUESTION: I already have an active Benefactor membership. Can I upgrade for the difference in cost? ANSWER: YES! Absolutely. The forum software will give you credit for your existing Benefactor membership and only charge you an "upgrade" fee. :) Here's how to do it... At the top right of the screen click your name and then select the option for Client Area from the drop down menu. This will take you to the Store's client menu. Once at the Client Menu, click on the Purchases tab along the left-hand side of the screen. On the right-hand side of the screen you will see your active purchases. Click on the active purchase that you want to upgrade. In this example it's a 1-Year premium membership. Once you are viewing the active purchase, on the right-hand side of the screen will be several buttons. One of them is marked Change Package. Click it. You will now be shown a screen that has a list of packages (there may only be one, as in this case) that you can upgrade to. If you had a 6-month package, it would show you both the 1-Year and the Lifetime packages as options that you could choose. Select the radio button next to the option you want to upgrade to, and then click the Change To Selected Package button at the bottom of the screen. You can now proceed to the checkout. Once there, you should see that the cost of purchasing the new package reflects an "Upgrade" which only charges the difference between what you already had and what you're wanting to upgrade to. In this case the cost for the Lifetime membership has been reduced, taking into consideration the $35.00 1-Year option that the member already had. That's all there is to it. Sadly the process isn't as straight forward as I would have preferred but it's just the logic that the software follows when doing an upgrade. :)

Guys, temper your expectations about things like matched uppers, sequential serial numbers, etc.  Those things all add excessive overhead to the logistics and were never promised.  Let's be glad we're getting a shot at some special commemorative lowers.  If we can do anything beyond that it's purely up to CMT.

I'm all in.

  TMF hit the target below the line on this one.  In other words, I agree completely.  The complaint is stupid and baseless.  Learn to aim and hit what you aim at.   Thread closed.

Any time I get a chance to throw some Betty White in a thread, you know it's going to happen. BAM.

I'm just glad you're still here with us.  It always makes me feel good to see folks from the early days still posting and enjoying the site.  :)   The fact that you chose to go above and beyond that and help us keep the lights on is just icing on the cake.  And thank you for that.

Changed my mind!  Did some research and saw the quality of posts and drama you bring to other forums.  Don't bother coming back.  We don't need you here.  :)   Fine example -->  http://www.r6messagenet.com/forums/1923712-post1.html   Maybe Kentucky has a firearms forum you can sign up on.  Everything's better north of the border.

    This is highly threatening and would pretty much end up with the police knocking on your door and earn you a felony charge.   http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/index.php?app=forums&module=extras&section=boardrules   5.) Do not promote illegal activities. Members may not use these forums to promote illegal activities and are asked to hold themselves to a higher standard, not only as a firearms owner, but also as a member of these forums. We would like to remind you that there are many eyes upon these forums. TNGunOwners.com is frequently monitored by the media and various law enforcement agencies. The Internet provides an almost indelible record of everything said or done on message forums such as this. What you say here today may haunt you elsewhere tomorrow.     See you in two weeks.  It'll be good time to think about how to conduct yourself here.   :wave:

Heh... forums. :)

  I'm developing a decent list of reasons.

Start making friends on this site then.  That includes the LEOs.  And me.   Mostly me.  Because the LEOs will just kick your ass on a dark road somewhere.  I'll ban you.  :D

You don't want to be the guy who finds out his bargain NFA trust doesn't hold water.  I'd go with a local pro over a remote whomever any day of the week.

Kids talk.  Stupid kids talk more.  Sooner or later you'll find out who did it.

  I don't blame the entire black community but the fact remains that there are certain societal problems... certain ideologies... within it that allow subhuman behavior like this to fester in people's minds until thoughts eventually become actions, and the entire black community at large allows it to persist.   You only have to take a listen to some of the more popular rap music from the past 20 years or so to get a glimpse into the things that are important within the vast majority of the black community.  Violence, money, intimidation, retaliation... just to name a few of the things glorified.   Why hasn't the black community ostracized those who glorify these things to the point that a clear message is sent that those things aren't guiding principles by which decent people live?  All I ever hear are occasional remarks against heinous activities by a few community leaders, celebrities and media darlings... and then it's back to the old system of "That's life on the streets.  You can't judge if you don't live in the hood."   Politically correct statement?  #### no it isn't.  But brutally raping and then massacring two people like these animals did isn't politically correct either, now is it?

  I've got lots of them.  The vast majority are profanity.  Some of them involve a wood chipper.

  Well...  I learned something new.  Glad I moved when I did.   :lol:     Those roads still lead both ways though right?   :D   I go back to Kentucky every now and again.  Less often now that my dad's gone.  I always look forward to seeing that Welcome to Tennessee sign the most when I start driving back this way.  The only thing Kentucky lets a handgun owner do differently up there is carry one openly without any sort of a permit.  The permit is required for concealed carry only.

  You have 30 posts.  You don't get to tell people to relax.

You wouldn't have to retake the class if you had a current Kentucky CCDW permit.  Kentucky and Tennessee have reciprocity.  I moved here from Kentucky in 1997 and simply paid the fee, got fingerprinted and waited for them to mail my HCP to me.     <-- I was wrong about this part.  Outdated info.  My age is showing.   By the way... the roads run both ways between Tennessee and Kentucky.  Since it's better up there and all that.

Nice!

They should all die exactly the same way their victims did, be resuscitated and the process repeated.  Over and over until their CNS or cardiopulmonary system can no longer sustain life.  And then... life support, and repeat.   When there's nothing remotely resembling a human form left, Hell can have them.

Finally enough clear weather that we're making some progress at the new HQ.  Footer poured, foundation blocks to go in next week.
