I'll wait until next weekend when my ill-gotten gains wages should be deposited in the bank by the money fairies...

Re: Donations Info - Consolidated

What happens if you make a donation and don't see your name reflected? Does that mean the $ never got registered with you guys?

Re: Donations Info - Consolidated

Depending on when you sent it, it could just mean the accounts haven't been updated since then.

If you're concerned, please send a PM with details of the donation (the date, the amount, the name it was sent under).

Re: Donations Info - Consolidated

What if you see your donation but your name was misspelled as "akrim" instead of "Arkrim"?

Ohh.  I thought this thread was well gone.

Shan -  Please will you hide / delete the various 'You can donate in the UK' posts for me.

For anyone in the UK thinking of donating -  that account was closed last year and the contents moved into the PayPal account.  Please donate via PayPal

Re: Donations Info - Consolidated

So in hindsight, I probably should have checked this before the donation instead of after the fact.

Is the direct link to Paypal "Friends of RPOL" in the Donations Welcome!!! thread still valid for you to get the money from?  Or is that no good to you compared to manually punching in Donations@rpol.net?

I sent a little along. Is there a way to do this by subscription? I have been using this site continuously for over three years, and had been a regular about ten years ago.

Re: Donations Info - Consolidated

There is no way to subscribe to the site... yet.

There have been plans to introduce an optional subscription for some time, but the available payment methods have tended to be a stumbling block.

I'm a member at a Linux community which uses two different 'net payment sites (not sure I should mention which - might be construed as commercialism?)  PM me if you want to know more.  They both seem to work okay from where I sit (as a paying customer).

I try to buy amazon through the link on the page.  Hopefully that helps fill the coffers :)

Tried to donate as I did two years ago but the PAYPAL link doesn't seem to work.

Re: Donations Info - Consolidated

Paypal donations can be sent direct from paypal -- just send to donations@rpol.net.

Paypal is not really all that kind to sites that don't use html buttons for its links.

Sent a little. Have you considered  a patreon to keep things running? I would definately subscribe to that.

Re: Donations Info - Consolidated

Donations thread is updated.

donsr, I believe yours is there on 12/5.

Thanks, everyone.

Gwythaint, no.  There are no other donation methods being considered at this time.  Perhaps in the future. :-)

Re: Donations Info - Consolidated

*Grin*  Nice -  I have just discovered that I can make a regular donation to RPoL via Paypal.

I really must put more effort into keeping up with developments like that.  I always intend to donate regularly, and often forget -  now that is all done for me - Excellent!

Re: Donations Info - Consolidated

Have you looked into using Patreon.com?  Allows for even a $1.00 minimal monthly post and such.  My artist friend and I use it to support our webcomics and his website.  We refuse to use Paypal because of many of the issues with it (And both of us have had our Paypal account frozen at one point or another).  I'd love to support regularly through Patreon, I have 10 places that I do so with right now already.

Perhaps you could add the Patreon & Ko-Fi url links to the 'Notice: Donations Welcome!!!' thread at the top of the FoRPOL forum?
