How do I change my Credit Card information? 

Log into PayPal and follow these steps:

  1. Click on Wallet.  You'll see two payment methods. 1- PayPal balance (usually a zero balance unless you have funds in the PayPal account) and 2- Your credit card.  One of them will have the word Preferred below it.
  2. Click on the credit card.  You'll see Expiration date, Billing address.
  3. Click on Update card or Remove card if you want to add a different card (or bank).
  4. Update the information.
  5. Click on Update Card.

If you are changing a bank, on step 2 above you'll just see the bank.  You need to remove it and add either a credit card or another bank account.

Refer to this PayPal support article if you are having problems:

How do I post a new Topic?

Registered members can post unlimited questions to our Forum. Browse to a Forum you wish to post in, and at the bottom of the page will be a form to post a new Topic. Please be considerate where you post topics, and try to post them in the most logical Forum related to the Topic you are creating. Always search the Forum before posting, your question might already have been answered!

How to search the Forum

A search from any search box will search Articles and Forum.  Often it is best to review the indexed topics and sub-topics.  You can limit the number of articles by using a Boolean AND expression witch is just a space between two or more words or word strings.  Ex. Potassium "stabilizing buffer".  The quote marks turn the two words into a string.  Sugar artificial searches the Forum for articles that have the word sugar and the word artificial in them. The words are highlighted within the text.  You can also add and subtract words within your search.  An example is - say you want to search for articles that have the words ticks and  dogs but you want to exclude articles that also have the word fever in them because you're getting a ton of articles - or for whatever other reason you might have.  You can enter in your search box the follow:  tick +dog -fever .  Notice that I don't need to use the word ticks. Also, the spacing is critical.  Enter the word, a space, the + or - sign, and then the next word as is shown above.

I have a suggestion for a new Forum

We are trying to keep our Forum as organized as possible. If you feel there needs to be a new Forum, please your suggestion in email to [email protected] and your suggestion will be reviewed.

How to I use the Favorite Topics feature?

You might notice an area on the right sidebar for "Favorite Topics". This feature allows you to quickly access topics you access frequently. Simply navigate to the topic of interest, then click the "Favorite" link located in the upper-right corner of the topic post, or original post.

How can I receive notifications when a topic has been updated?

We have added a subscription feature for each of our topics, which allows you to be notified when a new reply has been added to a particular topic, or even when a new topic has been added to a forum, such as Birds. For topics, you will see a link for "subscribe", which subscribes you to a topic whether or not you have posted in that topic. For whole forums, there is a link in the upper right corner of the forum or section named "subscribe" that will notify you of new topics in any particular forum. If you have any questions, feel free to ask us in the Help forum.
