December Donations

[Zee09]

Since December is the month for giving it may be a good idea to start labeling December donations
as 2022 Site Donations.
Just a thought.

I’m pretty sure they always do

Be glad to.....I have been posting a lot to this site and appreciate everyone's knowledge, humor, and POV. Can someone post directions how to donate?

How much do you need to donate to get a badge? I maybe able to donate this year hopefully since I make more money now.

We have never had a low water mark for donations. I think someone donated $0.01 one time and I refunded it because, well it was a bit silly.

Click the "Forums" link from the left
Top screen and scroll to the bottom for the donation button.

I noticed there is no PayPal symbol shown by the Donate button as a way to donate. People don't know that PayPal is an option until you click the donate button. Could make a difference if people saw PayPal is an option.

Yes plus if you are on a tight budget you can donate monthly instead of a lump sum using PayPal... Like $2 auto pay a month so $24...

Just saying...

As Wayne said, there really isn't bottom figure. I think once you get to $50 and above, this amount is called out.

Thanks to @Quattro Pete for making the 2022 avatars!

When I click on the Donate button, I am taken straight to a Paypal page. Is there a NON-paypal way of donating? I dunno, I've only used Paypal but is this the correct process? What if you simply wanted to put a donation on one of those CCs pictured?

Paypal is the correct way to donate and because it's so easy, the only way we've used since the beginning.

You can.
When you see PayPal, you can use the CC option next option down.
Debit or CC and I suspect you can donate from your checking account to.

Took me a couple tries on the iPad because it shows up off to the side - when I read go to bottom
My first attempt to modify an avatar is another story
(keeping my day job)

Yes, it does differ on different platforms.
On a cell you can click the desktop view etc.

Next order of business.
I think we should have a "sponsor a donator drive"

For those members that are too busy buying high priced tools and eating expensive Chinese food.
Or just as a gift.
Just PayPal in an amount and PM-DM @wwillson who it is for. All we need is the minimum amount for this service
like $10 USD on up??????????

How about it?

where is the donate button? How do you get to it from the Home screen?

 

[wwillson]

On the forums home page, look at the bottom of the right column on desktop and all the way at the bottom on mobile.
