If you read most of the posts in Website Problems & Suggestions you might find your answer.

Do a search on nag screen for starters. At best I think the response, or lack of one, is rude.

BTW DO NOT EVER enter a password for paypal, Ebay, or any other site that involves financial information unless you have typed the URL yourself. It is too easy for a hacker to spoof the screen and collect your signon and password.

I donated when I first heard about the site from Sean, months ago.... I still get the donate screen.

I thought it was put there to make you wanna donate again after a while...

Can someone get rid of it then???

Amusingly I was forwarded to my last reply.... via the DONATE screen....

Is this some form of sick joke!!!!!

MOz - 25/5/07 at 08:24 AM

And again......

Can I set some form of record.....

I donated but I want to keep my Marklar status and not change to contributor so I'll just keep clicking here. It's not that big a problem and I don't really care if it takes another 0.05 seconds to get to a topic.

Is Paypal the only way to make donations i don,t use [have ]paypal

i contributed months ago i have emailed and u2u chrisw and he doesnt even bother to reply


locostv8 - 3/6/07 at 08:01 AM

I have sent this email numerious times since Feb 20 get both no reply and no action. U2U Fozzie and got a reply but no longer get a reply from him. I enjoy this site and think have given good advice including contacts for Fozzie when the pig farmer attacked. This situation is past iritating and a search turns up many others with the same problem. To show that I did infact pay I will post the Paypal reciept here since it seems to do no good to Email it to chrisw. Maybe he will see it here.

You still waiting?

I thought after Chris' reply in the other thread he'd sort it out.


locostv8 - 12/6/07 at 10:50 PM

YES. It appears that this posting was still not enough to prove CONTRIBUTION and get rid of nag screen.

No, it 'appears' that if you are rude to me, you'll wait longer. Unfortunatly for you, every time I think 'that chap has waited long enough' I find another abusive post from you.

This time I've had enough. Went to update your account, but seems I pressed the 'ban' button instead. Oooops, never mind.

Anyone else who is missing a contributor tag EMAIL me (not u2u, not post on here, not carrier pidgeon, not any other method you can think of) with an obvious subject line so I can see it through the spam and I'll sort it out.

You don't need a Paypal account to donate, you can just enter your card number without signing up, the same as you would do at an online shop.

Unfortunatly, it is exactly that which will screw up the donation system. If you enter the URL yourself, it won't have the unique tags that are present in my links to Paypal, which means the payment will not get associated with your account.

If you trust the site you are making payment too, it is not a problem.

Chris, did you refund the five pounds you accepted from locostv8 to become a "contributor" seeing as you banned him instead ?

Banning someone who's annoyed you is fair enough I suppose, but you really should refund his money...
