Watch out if your subscription was a present!

Quick warning in case this affects anyone else.

I've been patiently (!) waiting for the arrival of Issue 9, as have a subscription. When it still hadn't arrived yesterday I dropped the Lucy an email and she told me that because it had been bought as a present, by my lovely missus, it was only a 1-year subscription and wouldn't automatically renew. It ran out after issue 8.

So, I've resubscribed and ordered an issue 9 online. B)

But be warned, if someone buys you a subscription for ABR, after a year you'll need to renew it yourself! ;)

I miscounted how many issues I had received and made a new subscription, only to discover two copies of issue 9 arrived at the door. i overlapped.
Would a short note or email telling subscribers when their subscription runs out solve these problems? Surely it wouldnt be to hard to set up.
i must admit i get them sent to my brother's house in England, he sends them onto me so havent received the last few issues in hand.

so if anyone needs a copy of issue 9 ive got one spare!

I subscribed myself but can`t remember when and don`t know when the subscription runs out! Can`t see a way to check this on the site so can we have an email reminder please :P
