FWIW, the website could be a bit clearer...
I just logged into members.x.org, and was greeted by a message that said:
Welcome Kenneth Graunke Member since 2010-09-16
Based on the fact that I logged in successfully, and the website greeted me as a member, I would have suspected my membership was current. However, this email made me check the "List of Members" page, where I noticed I was not listed. Then I discovered the "Renew my membership" button in navigation bar, and reapplied.
Perhaps the above text could be changed to say:
Member since [date] <b>EXPIRED</b> - <a href="...">Renew</a>
That may help draw attention to the fact that people need to take action.
Thanks! --Ken
