No longer getting Windows 10 Preview Builds
I have a laptop running Windows 10. I purchased a full version and upgraded from Windows 7. I signed up to get insider preview builds. The last one I got was in August and is: Evaluation Copy, Build 18219.rs_prerelease. 180810-1721. For some reason my choice of "skip ahead" has now been changed to "Active Development of Windows" and it says the skip ahead program is now closed. There is also this statement: "This content is currently on an older release of Windows. If you select this, we will continue to send you content from your current release and move you over as soon as possible".
What does this mean exactly and when will I start getting updates again?. I was getting one every Friday and now it's been almost a month. I realize I can leave the program after the next official release, but I'm wondering if I'm stuck in some kind of loop and will not get any more updates.

18219 is the latest skip ahead build. We have not had an update for several weeks.
You have got in a bit of a tangle by going to skip ahead, as even if you get updates working, you cannot leave at the next official release, but at the next one in spring 2019 (build 1903).
Very soon, the Skip Ahead and Fast Rings will merge after 1809 is released.

Thanks, cereberus for your reply. Somehow I was reverted to "Active Development of Windows" from Skip Ahead, and Skip Ahead is now closed. I'm having no issues with Windows at the moment so I'll just wait and see what happens. If I develop issues, I'll have to do a re-install I guess, otherwise I'll wait until 1903 and make a decision at that time.
