krysaia tells us why: "Basic Account is an option available to accounts which were created before March 12, 2008. No

The page I see when I click the link doesn't include that text (or anything to that effect) at all.

I can still see it even I'm logged out/have cleared my cache so eh?

Here's a screencap, just in case:

That's not what I see at all, and I cleared my cache and everything just in case. Weird!

Thanks for the screencap, though.

I think you might be seeing a difference between the American English and British English versions of the FAQ.

Whoops, disregard my reply to your initial comment... that's so strange!

In case you didn't see my reply yet, it's because of the language - the British English FAQs haven't been updated yet. This link should work for everybody:

I'm confused too.

You don't see the part that reads "Basic Account is an option available to accounts which were created before March 12, 2008. No account created after this date can be turned into a Basic Account. Basic Accounts will not have any advertising displayed on their accounts, but will have fewer benefits and features"?

If you're using British English as your language, the FAQs might not have been updated yet. Try http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=38&view=full&lang=en_LJ instead.
