As long as they are telling up that the expire date is 12 months away, they are obliged to give us the full 12months and not the 6 months that they are giving you. *Have just add a copy of the page containing the expiry date for renewals today on the the next-generation photos page*

Alan - We are not talking about GR! The thread is about FR! Deb

Maybe I need to explain my last post Only the first few lines were visable. I decided to copy paste them. When I clicked paste..more info appeared which did not show up on the friends page I copied This is what was visable and what I highlighted to copy paste :- (Ive had to type this rather than copy this as the copied content is appearing different) Elaine , renew with one click... Amount: £7.50 for all-inclusive membership of Friends Reunited until 28 June 2007 You will be able to send unlimited messages to as many people as you want until 28 June 2007 I highlighted the above text and clicked copy. What was pasted on here is below...totally different to what had been copied by myself.and what was visable Ive tried this several times and have had the same outcome. Elaine , renew with one click... Full membership costs just £7.50 . It takes less than a minute to renew, you'll then be able to: Send unlimited messages to anyone listed on Friends Reunited Reply to messages you receive from old friends Use the message board services Why do we charge? Allowing only paying members to send contact emails helps prevent misuse of the site and stop unsolicited mail (spam).

Click here to renew now Amount: £7.50 for all-inclusive membership of Friends Reunited for six months You will be able to send unlimited messages to as many people as you want. Amount: £7.50 for all-inclusive membership of Friends Reunited until 28 June 2007 You will be able to send unlimited messages to as many people as you want until 28 June 2007. Hope this explains my earlier post better E x

Well it's a long time since I went on FR, used to get e-mails telling me when others had joined my old schools, but haven't had them in a long time either, it was usually at that time that I went for a look. Sending messages to old pupils didn't always get a reply, so assume they haven't renewed or else out of touch and not updated their new e-mail addresses, so all in all not a very worthwhile site to belong to. Will have to go and see if i'm still a member, can't even remember that! (might account if not, why I don't get updates)

I didn't renew on FR after my first year for the same reason as Elaine - what was the point in renewing when I didn't want to contact anyone? If & when I notice someone I want to contact, then I'll consider renewing. Very sneaky the way they've snuck that in. We'll have to keep an eye on this site too, in case they try anything. (Not that they'd manage to sneak much past us without being caught out pretty quick!) Carole

The only problem there is, if the friends you want to contact haven't renewed, then I don't think they know you want to contact them do they? PS found i'm subscribed till Aug

debs i would ask for your money back.....des it clearly state that it' for 6 months if not get in touch with trading standards...if the info is wrong their breaking the lawxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx))))):

I have just renewed my FR subscription and they say its not due again until June 2007, and I only paid £7.50. What is going on with them and how can they charged different amounts? My bank statement shows that they have not even cashed my cheque yet (as of Mon). Love and Peace Marianne.x

I saw on the news a couple of months ago, that ITV had bought the rights to Friends / Genes reunited, and wondered what would happen. Perhaps this is it, a change in the subscription rates to recoup back their layout!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lynne
