I'm so confused [SOLVED]

[starrylizard]

My userpics package (1 package apparently) runs out 14 October 2010.
While my paid journal time runs out 28 April 2011.

Is there any way in this new-fangled system for me to buy userpics so that I have them for the rest of my paid account time, without buying more paid account time?

I'm so confused. There just doesn't seem to be any way for me to buy userpics by themselves anymore.

Help?

I remember when I brought my extra userpics in December last year, I paid less than the 12months fee - I think I paid for the amount of time until my paid account expired, which was in June.

Not sure if that's any help though lol.

That's what I want to do, I just can't see how. :P

It kinda seems like you can just buy userpics here: http://www.livejournal.com/shop/userpics.bml ?

I think?

Okay, I think that worked. Blimey it's a confusing system now. I haven't a clue how you got to that page.

I went to the bottom of my userinfo, hit 'more' on the store bit and then 'extra userpics' under paid services on the left.

Yay, glad you got it sorted!

Hey, do you think that they will do deals at Christmas again on Paid time? Just the Aus dollar isn't to bad vs the American dollar atm. I have a feeling last year they didn't do deals on paid time, but I'm not sure. Do you remember?

[lark_ascends]

They didn't last year. Last year it was something really crap and pointless.

So, I have no idea...but leaning towards probably not.

I'm all sorts of confused about mine and not sure what I should do to fix it.

It says

Paid Account Oct 10, 2010
- Extra Userpics (1 package) Oct 10, 2010


Help?

Yours should be much simpler than mine. See they run out at the same time. My problem was that several lovely people over time bought me LJ time, so I had less icon time than LJ time. lol. Nice problem really. I love my flist.

Okay. Wander over to here (http://www.livejournal.com/shop/paidaccount.bml) and then use the tabs to pick your payment option. I do "one time payment"

Pick the amount of LJ time you want 12, 6 or 2 months. The pick the icons you want. 70 icons is like the old extra icons you could buy on the old system. It's 1 package.

So the icon space appears to be cheaper the longer you buy it for. (As far as I can tell anyhow.)

Hope that helps. It's much more confusing than the old system.

I never looked at the old system as the icon package was given to me for my birthday last year...

Thanks for the explanations. ^_^
