Paid => Plus

Just a heads up since I'm not sure how many people know this, but when Paid accounts on LJ expire now, they are converted to Plus accounts instead of Basic ones like it used to be [mine just expired, and I was oh so thrilled to discover this]. So don't forget to switch them to Basic when your paid accounts expire. It's a nice way of getting ad money from the folks leaving LJ if you ask me.

Ooooooh. Thanks for the warning. I'll keep an eye on mine, and let others know too.
It's supposed to revert to "whatever you had before you got a paid account." If you had a Basic account before you went to paid, you should send an email to LJ or open a support request, to let them know that their coding isn't working.

Which they're not likely to fix, but lodging the complaint makes them consciously pay attention to it. And it might bring it to the attention of someone who didn't know that they're ignoring users' desires to not see ads.
Wow. Another one of their impressive stunts.
I don't know whether it's different if you had a paid account since before Plus accounts existed, since my paid account lapsed today and it went straight back to a Basic account, which is what I used to have before I started paying...
Nice. Thank you for the warning. I'll make sure to change mine as soon as it lapses.
Thanks for the heads up. :)
I had some RP accounts that's paid account status expired recently and all three went back to Basic.

Were you Plus before you upgraded to Paid?
Thanks for the warning.
Thanks for that - I wouldn't have even thought of it.
