Suggestion Having a Direct "Donate" Link

Perrumpo · 04-27-2010, 10:01 AM

Have you considered having a "Donate" link in the nav bar right before "Search" or something? There doesn't seem to be a very direct way to donate as opposed to following more links in order to do so.

There is one for those who aren't already site supporters. I'd add it for guests too, but that wouldn't make the page fit in a 1024px window!

Maybe we're talking about a different area. I'm talking about this nav bar since there's extra room and there wasn't a donate link before I was a site supporter.

That looks like the navbar for guests. The navbar for registered users who haven't donated looks like this:

At least it should. You just donated, right? And you didn't see the button?

Odd, yeah, it definitely wasn't there. That's what made me make this thread. I went and donated through my user control panel and then came back to post this.

That's strange. Let me check the conditional. It does show up on my test account, however.

Well, I can't find anything wrong with it. Can anyone else who's not a site supporter reproduce this?

Question about the donations, Is it a one time donation for the dollar amount I choose or is it $20.00 per month for a year?

Adam · 04-27-2010, 04:06 PM

All donations are one-time. Renewals are manual and at the user's discretion.
