Disregard this journal, I was able to get it to work by entering my credit card directly.
So yeah I'm now officially stripped of my Core Membership status thanks to several technical failures of the site. I can't apparently contact the deviantART help desk because help.deviantart.com/contact gives me no option to submit a ticket. #QualitySiteDesign at it's finest.
Earlier this year I tried purchasing a 12-month extension to my Premium Membership that I thought would be added directly onto my old one like I always used to do with no problems, spent the $50, and it didn't work. At first I thought it would just automatically process the order once the core membership died since it said "rebilling", which it didn't do. So I tried purchasing 4000
points and buying a membership via points and...

points and buying a membership via points and...- You already have a subscription with re-billing. Please cancel it first.
So I go to cancel it and...
- You are not currently signed up for automatic rebilling on your Core Membership. If you would like to turn on automatic rebilling, please buy a rebilling Core Membership.
It also says "PayPal bank account transfers may take 5-15 days to process." despite pretty much all my payments made via Paypal up to the point have been 100% instant, and only through this very special occasion does it decide to have a brainfart and delay the purchase, if it did go through at all that is. And the instructions it gives to disable the automatic billing via Paypal at FAQ #825: How do I cancel my rebilling Core Membership? are also misleading since there is no "Profile" button at the top of the page when logged into Paypal.
If anyone out there reads this, I really need your help, since the staff at dA has made the system admittedly worse ever since they decided to change it from Premium to Core membership, with no apparent way of adding onto an existing membership (or as they call it, doing a Prepaid membership) or even doing a "Till Hell Freezes Over" membership.

SJB: Twelve Years Later
Boy, time does fly when you go on hiatus from art, huh? Anyways hello people of DeviantART. I wouldn't have ever imagined myself in this position but here we are. I've been using this site since 2009 and two site re-designs later many of my friends and artists that I've supported from the first few years of being on this site have either vanished into radio silence, relocated to other sites, or moved onto other, better things (or so I hope). It's honestly saddening seeing this place as a shell of its former self because the site's higher ups don't believe in "If it ain't broke, don't fix it", or because they lost interest in making art. And I'll admit I'm one of those people. While there were some years where I was more generally active (Pre-2013, 2014, and 2017), other years were either posts of minor projects or WIP's and nothing really substantial. I think the whole trying to build internet cred through DeviantArt and having most of your motivation fueled by said cred, along with
Developing More Characters
Hey there. Since I got the thought of getting more characters from my endless selection of ideas developed I decided to update the character design inspiration document some more: Yup, I had to give this a bit of an overhaul since an attempt to reach out onto Twitter in the form of a tweet ended up going completely south when it attracted what felt like the wrong audience for the job. Thus I added some more details to make it more clear on what kind of content I'm looking for in character designs, art style and all. Hopefully it doesn't come off as too mean-spirited, I don't mean to brush aside so many artists but for new designs made from scratch using provided references I'd rather them closely replicate sort of what I can make, give or take a few.
A year later
Well it's 2021 and I'm still away from this site doing other things for the most part. You may recall if you've been to some of my other sites including my blog that I had a major hard drive failure on my Mac in September 2020. It completely wiped all my WIP's and it took me six months to get a replacement computer as well as a few more months to get some of the programs I commonly used. Currently the priority still lies in my Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart racers and many of them have a long ways to go so I don't feel "ready" to go back to doing standard art just yet, and even then the pandemic has been a huge de-motivator. That said I still want to start on something later in the year and my mind has been tossed between two different groups of characters since I never did any modern art of anyone in either group. There's also a few other characters I've had on the mind and wouldn't mind drawing "just for fun" even if they don't lack the highly detailed and fleshed out backstories or
Time to try and boost that roster count.
Yeah it's that time of the year again. Got some cash on hand, going to see if anyone on the internet is interested in working with me and my ideas.

I can't get this to work at all. I write in all of my credit card information and it says, "Autobill not created." When I try PayPal or points, it says, "You already have a subscription with re-billing. Please cancel it first." I try to cancel it in my settings, but it says the exact same thing as what your's said: "You are not currently signed up for automatic rebilling on your Core Membership. If you would like to turn on automatic rebilling, please buy a rebilling Core Membership." How can I cancel something that I can't cancel??
I honestly don't know what to do. The DA help desk is just acting like there's a problem with my payment.
