Category: Misc UI/Frontend

Category: Payments
Patch by:

kareila
Description: A given user's "paid account" status doesn't change very often relative to the number of times said user might try to do something on Dreamwidth that requires a paid account. Because of this, the results of this "checking for paid account status" are being saved ("cached"), and checked less frequently, to reduce server load.
