As to your other problem, make your gold and silver secondary usergroups. In other words, when your members subscribe, they'll stay in their basic user group, but also be added to gold or silver. This way, your mods and admins don't lose their rank.

That's a real good idea and thankyee!

The only issue we would have is that if I make the sub usergroups secondary, then the rank that is assigned to them would not be displayed due to that pesky "primary usergroup only" issue. :ermm:

See...I currently have a rank assigned for all levels of subscriptions so that a pretty Silver or Gold Ring is displayed in the members postbit. Seeing as we're a Lord of the Rings site, having a ring has been a pretty good incentive.

From what I can tell now...if VB would just enable the blasted ranks to work with secondary usergroups, ALL my problems will be solved! lol

And no worries about the expiry emails for now. I too am gratefull that you are taking this on and will wait patiently for the fix. :-)
