Jim Alfredson Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 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!

Rabshakeh Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

optatio Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 I donated yesterday, Paypal has confirmed it. But "Total Donations" still shows unchanged 0.00 USD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gould Posted November 7, 2022 Report Share Posted November 7, 2022 It will be good when all contributions are tabulated correctly and we'll know where we (truly) stand on the forum costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Alfredson Posted November 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 I'm still waiting to hear from the developer of the plug-in about this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riddlemay Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted December 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 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.

JSngry Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 I'd like to get the recent spam riot under control before feeling good about donating directly through the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 Wonder if it's the same people who are targeting the Hoffman boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very poor work is all I can say fumbling around on this "plug-in" topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Tapscott Posted March 28, 2023 Report Share Posted March 28, 2023 (edited) 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.
