Donation Page Confusion

I'd like to see a list of the different levels of Pentaxians on the donation page, and what each one represents. I'm not the only one (I think?) that does not know what each status means, how it is attained, and how it can change.

This would help in a person determining their donation amount and help Otis in contributing to his friends here. Just a short listing of every type of Pentaxian, and what each one means, how it is achieved etc.

I see others that are confused about this from time to time......of course, I am always a little confused anyhow, so it is possible that this is already explained somewhere? However, what better place for it than the Donation Page?

Regards!

Ok, Otis Award #4. Bookmarked and screenshotted, like the rest.
Unfortunately, I don't think Otis thinks very highly of you

Are you saying that if you open your eyes and look around...you can see things?



Am I going to get in trouble for posting a squirrel here? Be easy on me...I'm old and have two bad feet.

I will make sure that it's linked more prominently from the donations page.

Well, I'd still like to see a listing of the types of Pentaxians on the actual Donor Page.....or a Prominant link advising you to look before you donate. I think it would result in increased donations.
Sort of like at the grocery store when you get an opportunity to upgrade an item for only a little more.......It's too late after you leave the store.....

Anyhow, I do appreciate the donation system and although I don't use it all that much.....since I am paid up for years.....Otis intends to use the heck out of it for some of his friends here!

I keep telling people...it's good to be friends with Otis....most of the time!

Best Regards!
