Supporting the site

[Matt]

Hi all,

The website hosting is due to renew shortly so any donations towards running costs would be greatly appreciated. As you're probably aware we don't run any adverts and haven't done for some time. We also don't charge traders for having their own sections. I've set the campaign goal to £350 which will cover the costs for the next 2 years and the campaign will close when the hosting cost is reached.

I can see the reason you might need help.

I don't technically need help, I will pay it regardless but it's nice not to take the full hit

Who is your host? £350 seems quite high for 2 years for a niche community forum.

We host all our own images, xenforo has a £60 renewal per year. This is not expensive.

Have donated a bit.

Presumably the images are being compressed a fair bit?

Just fyi the return to the forum after donating does nae work!

Clicking the link and then filling in the form and then clicking Donate does not appear to work, it just reloads the same page.

Neither platform matters for this browser, also addon's do not affect any other site.

Apologies, not much I can do with this information, we've had 9 donations I'm going to assume the issue is your end.

Donated, it appears Adblock does not like the Paypal integration with this message board. Yet, Paypal works seamlessly on every other site I use.

Done. Same issue as others returning to the page after but the payment seems to have gone through on the card.

I'll update the donate add-on when this campaign is over I'm just wary about updating it half way through a campaign.

Many thanks to all that have donated so far it's much appreciated
