The system is showing the transaction as not having been completed, although I can see through the paypal account that it was. Were you directed back to the virtualforums site after you completed the transaction or did you see some sort of error page? {Unsure}

Anyway, sorry for the delay. The credits have been applied to your account {Smile}

I've applied the new credits to April for you. And I'll do a full diagnostics on the payment system this afternoon to try and find why transactions are not being automatically verified {Smile}

At this time, I'm affraid the system is not finished. It has been started on though. Have you considered only enabling ad-free for members?

I've setup some stats logging on your forum so I can check that they are all actual page views and that there's nothing else eating up your credits. Hopefully this will also enable me to work out some of the details for high usage forums {Smile}

Quick suggestion, could you (Ross) cancel the Ad-Free for bots? {Unsure}

That's one thing I'm considering doing once I've checked the usage stats. The only issue is with correctly identifying bots as many browsers give users the ability to fake their user agent string.
