AI Thread Summary
Contributing to PF using an old PayPal account can be complicated due to IP address changes and credit card tagging issues. Users recommend contacting PayPal directly to clarify identity despite changes in email or IP. Seeking assistance from a specific contact, Greg, is suggested for resolving account issues. The discussion highlights the frustration of navigating PayPal's processes for users who have only used it for PF. Overall, effective communication with PayPal is essential for successful contributions.

This is the only thing I've ever used PayPal for either, so hopefully I won't be running into the same trouble when it's time to renew.
 
Geniere, e-mail Greg and he can get it fixed.

Thread 'Thank you physics forums, 20 years later'

About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
