2023 Donations

[Jim Alfredson]

Hi friends,

Yesterday I added a new donations box on the right hand side of the main forum page. I received several donations, which I really appreciate. Unfortunately the free donations plug-in I installed didn’t keep track of the individual donations or even add them to the total. Rest assured, I received them, but the plug-in didn’t reflect that fact.

So I just updated to a better donations plug-in that cost $50 to initially purchase and then $20 a year to maintain. 

If you donated yesterday, please send me a PM with the amount and I’ll manually add it to the fund drive total, so we have an accurate count of where we are towards the $2800 goal.

Thank you!

Thanks for this. Are we aiming for $2,800 before December?

I put a decent donation in back in September but will donate again if so.

No, this is for next year. So until December 2023. Thanks!

I donated yesterday, Paypal has confirmed it. But "Total Donations" still shows unchanged 0.00 USD!

Heads up!

It will be good when all contributions are tabulated correctly and we'll know where we (truly) stand on the forum costs.

Same here! But as it looks Jim has confirmed some bucks. Seems  the system still does not see it ;-}}

Hmm. Not sure why that’s happening. I’ll look into it.

I have forwarded the email from PayPal with details to jazzforum@organissimo.org 

[Pim]

FYI Here is my copy from  german branch of PayPal for my recent donation

I'm still waiting to hear from the developer of the plug-in about this issue.

[riddlemay]

Just to say that I made a donation a few minutes ago and the page still says the total collected is zero. So the developer still hasn't figured it out. Jim, is it possible you can let us know what the real number is?

[Jim Alfredson]

The developer of the plug-in seems to have disappeared, which is strange because this plug-in has existed for over a decade. It's the same plug-in I was using on the old forum, just updated for the new software. I will try to find another way to make it work.

Bad luck but count on us. The cash will come from our side

What's the current status?  Is it safe to donate?

[JSngry]

I'd like to get the recent spam riot under control before feeling good about donating directly through the board.

[mjzee]

Wonder if it's the same people who are targeting the Hoffman boards.

[Jim Alfredson]

I just reinstalled the plugin. The developer finally got back to me (first contacted him in October) and says it's fixed.

I doubt that. Still no Information today in march 2023  about the "Total" situation. Very poor work is all I can say fumbling around on this "plug-in" topic.

I made a contribution a couple of weeks ago. No acknowledgement that it was received, though I did receive Paypal notification. It won't break me if it disappeared into internet hell somewhere, but it would be nice to know.
