I've managed to register, after wordpress repeatedly telling me that my email address was invalid. It worked after about 6 or 7 attempts (with the same email address).

Filled in all attendee details, but can't see any way to pay via Paypal. If I go back to my details it lets me edit them and says I haven't paid yet.

Had the booking confirmation mail with the bank transfer info (which it says should be blank if I've paid by PayPal).

Can anyone tell me where to look for a Paypal button or the like? I know I can do it via bank transfer but I'm sure I must be able to do it from the site.
 
It's on the site right next to the option for paying by bank transfer

Which page? Can you post a link? If I click "Buy Tickets" it doesn't remember who I am (even though I'm logged in) and seems to assume I'm starting again - it should be fairly trivial to recover my details from the database. If I follow the link in the booking email I can edit my details but there is no info there about PayPal.

EDIT: I just tried it on my phone as well in case of a browser problem but I still can't see it.

Note that they flush the database for GDPR reasons after each convention so it doesn't know who you are until you reregister.

I find this bizarre. I am a member of many forums and company sites, several for quite a few years or even decades. NONE of them have ever flushed my details so that I continually have to make a new login. If you are storing details of users at all you are subject to GDPR regardless of the length of time you are storing them for. BUT, Article 30 in fact points out that organisations numbering fewer than 250 employees are not subject except for requirements covered in Articles 9 and 10, which cover special cases.

In fact the only site I can think of that I have lost access to is this forum because of the departure of the .eu domain, which we can all agree was no-one's fault, not even the Romans. Well, it was some people's fault...

Anyone paid via Bank Transfer? I did on 6th Feb and I'm still not marked as paid and haven't had a reply to my 3 emails about registering/Paypal problems/payment enquiry.
