Poll to renew or not to renew, that is the question

Comments

For me, comment editing and the ability to expand collapsed comment threads are very nice paid account features - I like other things that you probably don't need like extra icons, full layout customization (since I update my sidebar fairly regularly), Scrapbook, full filtering and notification features, but those first two are wonderful, imo.

ETA: I can't believe I forgot to mention the "no ads anywhere" - this is actually one of my most favorite things.

the lack of ads is really nice, though now that i'm using firefox most of the time, there are just spaces where the ads are supposed to be. 'full filtering' meaning, what, exactly? i use filters all the time, but i'm not sure that what i'm using isn't in the 'basic' model. i was also using the notification feature quite heavily, but i pared it down recently. hmm.

This is the part of filtering that is restricted to paid/permanent users

oh! i didn't realize about the comment notification. and thank you for looking up that information for me!! ♥

No prob. I wouldn't let my paid account for this LJ lapse (I use too many paid features and would suffer without them - DW is literally only a backup for me), but I have to decide about my fic LJ which has see-sawed between paid and basic over the years. Not sure what I'll do this year since it expires later this month. *shrug* I would never tell anyone what to do, which is why I merely pointed out the features that I like and use. :)

Now, I must collapse into bed. :)
