[QUOTE=PlantSmoke;3029282]Can't find it scrolling thru posts. What is the story with subscriptions, Thai friendly? I want a yearly subscription; not 1 month at 19 dollars. How do you do a yearly?[/QUOTE]TF is different depending on what device you use, I. E. PC versus Phone, Ipad etc. The PC or laptop version has limited functionality when it comes to the subscription page (or was it the other way around) so try it on a different device and it should work.
What I have noticed with TF on this trip compared to earlier in the year and last year is that it's harder to get the girls to communicate (FL's) they answer a lot in 'yes' no, ok. Last time they'd just contact me and offer prices straight up. I wonder if the moderators have been having a bit of a crackdown to clean up TF? Anyone else find the same recently?
[QUOTE=PgReal;3028944]I have to agree, LINE has just become so complicated and convoluted to set up, I lost my old account because I didn't realize I had bought a tourist sim which expired rather than a regular Thai Sim. Had to jump through 20 hoops to get the f'ing account onto a new device as well.[/QUOTE]How are you guys setting up your Line. I have had the same Line since it became popular and I have changed SIM cards / phone numbers several times since. I must have set it up through email, but seems some folks (including the chicks) are only doing it by phone number. Now that I look at my account, my USA phone number is in there as well and I have had that one for 25 years.

I use it on 3 devices and one of the devices has had more SIM cards than I can remember. The only problem is that it is no longer possible to add friends via user ID.
[QUOTE=PgReal;3029326]I wonder if the moderators have been having a bit of a crackdown to clean up TF? Anyone else find the same recently?[/QUOTE]Yes it's true and it's been going on for a year now. A lot of girls names start with moderated as they used to have their phone numbers as their profile names and that number has been replaced. TF also reviews members profiles for any contact information which they delete as they want everyone to pay to use their messaging. You are now moderated if you are too clear about p4 p too, and my profile text was removed.
Line has also stopped a lot of services given access to users outside of their business area of Thailand, Japan, and a couple of other countries. I can search for a line ID only because I have a thai number. Girls know to send a QR as that still works.

Indeed I was moderated myself in my profile!
What I did learn from this trip was nearly every girl has their price! So many start off with 'serious relationship only' but when you push them a bit they start 'oh I do a bit of freelancing now and then. ' LOL.
Or ' oh I haven't had sex in a while, maybe it would be no harm'.
Also all girls I connected with except for 1 used What's APP. So easier than LINE, I won't miss LINE, it's become too much hassle.
Still think TF is the best site out there, you just maybe have to put a bit more time and effort in, to get the result you want.
Happy Hunting.
[QUOTE=Mogwai;3029310]Sign up for a free account, and you will find instructions on the site how to get a yearly subscription.[/QUOTE]No I mean, I already have a subscription. I've had a subscription for the entire year. I'm up for renewal and have been month-to-month at 19 $.
Nowhere is the offer for a year. Not on google pay, not on TF app pages. I do not want a bit coin solution! This is maddening.
Don't want to set up new account, that will somehow destroy my inbox.

But by the way, your account (and lists / favorites) will still be there if your sub expires. When you get it sorted and you renew you will still be able to find your historical data.
Have you tried emailing them for support?

Don't want to set up new account, that will somehow destroy my inbox.[/QUOTE]In May I looked for my subscription expiration date but couldn't find it. Then when it expired, things became clear and I was able to renew it. Now I'm about 5 months into a 12-month subscription and I cannot find my expiration date or renewal information anywhere. The annual renewal cost $119.95 (US), which is substantially cheaper than 12 monthly renewals. Since I spend about 3 months per year in Thailand, it's worth the money to have an annual subscription. Annual subscriptions do not automatically renew.
When I eventually found my renewal information, I used the web version (not the mobile app) and it was in the upper right corner next to my picture. Maybe it was part of settings.
In your situation, I would send a message to ThaiFriendly technical support. I used that one time and they responded in less than 48 hours with a clearly written answer. Send message by going to "Help", which you can find by clicking your picture in the upper right corner of the web version.
Is TF just moderating the username or are they going after what you message?
Just curious if WA, ST, Line are key words.
What is the opening line you folks use? I am not an expat but as a visitor / tourist I have always put something like.
Nice pics, let me know if you are available for ST / LT?
Anything you folks suggest that will make intentions clear without TF flagging or restricting the messages.
I am 2 weeks away from being in pattaya. Got my TF subscription for $19 (will cancel once I leave thailand). I did that last time as well.

Just curious if WA, ST, Line are key words.[/QUOTE]They are moderating usernames as some girls put their phone number in there. Profiles are also moderated so I would not add a phone number or indicators for Line / WA or IG in there. Nor do I say that I am looking to pay for their time.

My opening line in Pattaya is usually something like 'Are you looking for a customer?' Because 99% of the female TF members there are P4 P.
In Bangkok or other places I am more careful, and ask them first if they are a freelancer.

Over the years, chicks have asked me thousands of times on dating sites where I live, where I am from or how old I am. And those are the main things a profile consists of. No need to worry about opening lines or any other lines. Just put a picture up and start contacting folks.
I say exactly what I want in my profile. 10 out of 100 girls I write on [U]Thai Friendly[/U] in Pattaya are looking for relationship. Out of those 10 looking for relationships, 5 will still be willing to get paid for their time.
