Well, it has now been nearly two months since I signed up and paid my $40. I checked my credit card statement, and there it is on 2 February. I had one email with the powers that be, but so far, I'm not uppercase and can't access that forum, etc. Please help.

unknown

same as me - over 2 months!!!
I have emailed 'someone" on numerous occasions but nothing.

unknown

Only one month for me -- my check cleared the bank on 3 March, still waiting for Uppercase access.

unknown

My $40 cleared on 2/17/2005. I'm glad to know I've not been singled out, sort of.

I've sent a couple of e-mails as well.

unknown

I got my Uppercase access promptly, but I'm wondering what happened to my t-shirt?

unknown

And I notice that although I have access to the Uppercase area, I'm still identified as a lowly 'Typophile Regular'.

unknown

In the future just send the $40 to me. I'll take care of you for sure.

unknown

Thanks Fonzie, I paid for my 'Dingbat' membership
and what happened to my t-shirt ?

In the future just send the $40 to me.

Thus far, it would have produced the same result for me :-(

unknown

Don't sweat it, we'll send Zara down there and she'll fix it right up.

I think the guys are working on Typophile 2: Electric Boogaloo (the redesign) and haven't had a chance to send out premiums. Plus, you know, work and kids and other distractions like that.

unknown

I'm trying to be patient, but it's now 2.5 months, and so far nothing. I even signed up at the UC Plus level to give a little extra. I got an email saying it would be taken care of, but it hasn't been. Sigh.

unknown

Remember Steve, these are volunteers. I signed up for UCPlus as well (early February) but have not heard either. It took at least that long last year as well for premiums to appear. Don't lose faith, it will happen.

Ohh, sure it's a long wait for Uppercase...

But no where near as long as it takes to become a Swash Cap. It's so exclusive.

That's where all the secrets are.

unknown

Chris, I realize they are volunteers, and I don't mind at all that I don't have my t-shirts.

However, I don't see why it should take 10 weeks to give me access to the UC forum, and replace "Typophile Regular" with "Uppercase" above my picture as recognition that I parted with $40 to support the cause.

unknown

Look, me Dingbat, love it ! Thnx, Joe Pemberton.
Will get my typo t-shirt for the Summer, nice.

See you,
AS

unknown

Thank you, Joe!

unknown

Just testing -- thanks, Charles

unknown

fwiw, I just put in my Uppercase membership thingy, as I'd like to kick the tires of the new beta site. Don't want to be left out!

unknown

Beta site, yeah, but you really want to know what the mice are doing in the Uppercase forum...
