Turns out it was a browser issue with my Chrome. Switched to Firefox, used PayPal, payment went through. I'm a gold member now.

Just tried to buy the Gold Pledge. Clicked on Pledge Now, then OK.
Nothing happened.
Kinda makes me worry about sending these guys money, lol.
Anyone know if Pledges are still being accepted?
