Morning everybody!

After the recent discussions about keeping this place going (see here) I have installed a modification to the forum that should allow people to donate if they want to.

You can access it either here or by clicking the link in the menu bar on the left.

I want to stress that it is in no way compulsory, nor will you miss out on anything by not donating.  This site is free for everyone, and will continue to be so for the forseeable future.

I have been unable to remove the option to display donations, but please don't feel you have to add your name.

If you don't want to donate for any reason at all that is absolutely fine, but if you use an adblocker I would appreciate you making this site an exception.

Thanks very much for making this site an awesome place to be.

More info...

It uses Paypal to process any donations you may make, you don't need an account, but if you have one that is fine.

Also it is possible it will list the donation as going to "The Weapon Store", I used to run an online Martial Arts equipment site and that is when I set up the Paypal account.

Great idea. I get an error from that link saying I don't have access to treasury. I don't seem to have an option on the menu list either.

Hi Oz

That link opens a page with the message 'An error has occurred' and 'You can not view Treasury'

BTW. I think we will start testing the RC of the theme on Monday/Tuesday. Some way to go yet though.

Ok, that should have sorted it.  For some bizarre reason the default permission for the mod was that no-one would be able to see it...  That is now changed in the admin panel.
