Jim Alfredson Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Hello all, You may have noticed a new DONATE box and button on the forum homepage. I thought this might be easier for most as well as a handy reminder that it does cost money to keep this site afloat. The donate button links directly to my Paypal account. Remember, you can use regular credit/debit cards with Paypal. For those that prefer to write a check, you can make them out to me and send here: PM ME FOR THE ADDRESS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Will put my money where my mouth is this holiday season for sure. New banner looks rad too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Does the "latest donations" scoreboard need t be visible? Or is there way around that during the donation, keep it private/anonymous? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnblitweiler Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Thanks, Jim, for all the pleasure and engagement. The check goes in the mail tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Lark Ascending Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) I clicked anonymous for name but left amount visible. Although nothing shows on the main screen if you click 'view donations' name comes up to see. (I tried signing out...still there) It's useful to see amount towards target and even how much individuals are donating. Don't see the need for the names.  Edited December 17, 2015 by A Lark Ascending Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted December 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Yes, that seems to be a bug. I have an email out to the software developer. I also added an 'offline' option for those that don't want to use Paypal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Beat Steve Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) Out of sheer curiosity: How come only "this" month's donation balance is displayed now and the results of December's donations are not shown anymore? IIRC the $150 requested were "overpaid" by a multiple figure by the end of December so should cover the costs incurred for several months. Might be useful to know that a certain backlog is there (just in case ...), isn't it? Edited January 8, 2016 by Big Beat Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 I was curious too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gould Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Clearly seems to be a way to keep the money flowing in ... Jim might turn a profit on this thing yet! Seriously though it's up to Jim how to utilize the button option but it seems to me it could be a new way to initiate the semi-annual funds drive. Â When a certain amount is raised, Jim could remove the button, then the reappearance of the button would tell everyone that what was raised is near exhaustion and it's time to dig deep again.

JSngry Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Would it be possible for the default view to show "Paid thru mm/yyyy?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted January 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 I could make it a yearly total. $1800 a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul secor Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 I'd go for that too. Then we'd know exactly where the financial thing stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Beat Steve Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Yes, but this would mean the overview would start at the start of the current fundraiser, i.e. Dec. 1 (since Dec. had already been overpaid by several 100% ;), covering the cost for several months), right?

Jim Alfredson Posted January 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 No, I can assign all donations to the yearly total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
