As you know I don't get internet at my place yet, and last night I truly worried.  I was just falling asleep when I realised I hadn't checked my emails ... and then couldn't relax.  So had a quick check ... and a message from LJ saying my credit card was out of date for the automatic update ... fine I have 2 weeks to go.  Then another saying the extra Userpics would end on the 2nd, as the credit card was out.

Yes, no notice ... and I have over 200 uploaded.  So, I thought, fine, I can buy the update on PayPal and work out the rest this weekend ... NO ... my phone wouldn't let me go to Shop on LJ.

So, I text Tim ... by now it is 10.30 at night .... but he was up, and on the internet (he is doing the family tree).

He has an LJ account he doesn't use - and couldn't remember the passwords!  LJ wouldn't let him buy the icons, without updating the account as well ... so, my baby brother did the lot for me.  I now have to send him the money, but it was a panic for me for a couple of hours.

I'm just so thankful that I couldn't sleep until I had checked my emails - and even more thankful for my helpful baby brother!

Glad you got it sorted out eventually - though you wouldn't have lost your userpics, they would have just let you use a minimum amount until you re-purchased and then the rest would be usable again. The thought of having to re-upload all those is daunting though.

Ah, lj. Never fails to reduce me to this...

LJ manages to confuse nearly everyone; that's what I think.

Mine did that because all my cards were changed when the bank account got fraudulently used but I waited and managed on the few icons allowed without the extra package till the LJ needed renewing and voila, all my userpics were still there!
