After you login to the VIP, it is very helpful to NOT logout, once in. Same goes for the Free board, once logged in, do not logout. That seems to do the trick for me.

I also wanted to add that after I joined the VIP board, I rec'd discounts that surpassed the cost of membership. Well worth the investment. The community there is like a family, full of support & great understanding with compassion.

Hope this helps Chantal!
