Oh ack.

If you had automatic payments on LJ, and turned them off in the wake of Strikethrough, you might want to go over and check to make sure they're still turned off. Apparently people are complaining that the auto-payments on their accounts have been mysteriously turned back on without their consent.

They can't even go 24 hours without a new screwup, it seems.

I know that in the past that the autopay was only an option for getting an account for one year, and that you had to actually click on the option that allowed the autopay. (And when I say past, I mean within the last five or six months--I had been on the payments page to get paid accounts for a couple of friends before 6A starting screwing everything up).

I was nosy and went to the payments page, and it seems that now you cannot choose whether or not you want automatic billing at time of payment--all choice have the automatic billing, and it does not matter how long of a timeframe you're buying the paid account for.
Correction--there is a page that still allows one to get a paid account without the autopay feature, but it's kinda hidden. I found the page when I clicked on the "buy paid time for a friend" page...that page had a link to the page where one can buy a paid account without enabling autopay.
