Is all this whatever it is the reason the donation level went from
$330.xx back down to $240.xx??

I'm really confused now.

My donation was refunded that I paid yesterday. I'd orginally assumed it was because it came from the UK, and know Bill said earlier on in this thread that it costs more in fees to process a European Paypal transaction.

But after reading this thread, I understand why.

However, I'll keep my donation to one side and will try again with it next month!!!

refunds were given by how many times you have donated in the past. not because they were singled out for anything, cybers was by mistake, he was not meant to have his status on the site removed or altered only a refund

Guess the last patch to the forum software fixed the issue with Instant Payment Notification (IPN) PayPal's interface for handling payments and refunds. in the past this did not work as planed. When I did a refund in the past the membership would be extended not removed. that had to be done by hand

Did not mean to confuse or offend anyone

Yes, I got a refund, but I really intended my funds to support the site.

Ther is always next month

Going to change the code to only allow one donation per member a month. I think that is a fair thing.

Ok, thanks Bill, i still think if we decide to spend money at the site, the site should keep it, with no one getting a refund unless they ask.

Thnkas for all the background info Bill, it really helps us all feel more joined up when we know what is going on. I hope the sharing helps you too.

Could you post a pdf for the cards? We could print them ourselves.

Also, how about a "who we are" page to explain how the site started and how it is run.

suggested by jfsully (John) for sites reserve/expenses (like to expenses of last nights disaster) no way to reset the bar before the end of the month.

Don't get on much anymore ---- but since we sold the SLK and got the SL ---- Bill open a special section for the SL ---- this told me alot about the site ( Bill ) and I have put my 2 pennies in on this subject more than once.
1. Bill started , owns and runs the site
2. I don't care if he makes a profit I figure that he should and Dan also !!!!
3. I have browsed other sites there is no comparison !!!!
4. The only answer to the continuation of this site is money, not the hardware or soft ware type or cost. You get what you pay for and this is the best site that I know of
I think Bill built the site like Mercedes builds its cars --- quality.
5. No one got their cars for free and I'm sure you don't loan them out for weekend drives just for anybody that asks.
6. Solution ( and after all the words are said ) Quit talking and pay or don't pay and lose the site.


Won't thank Bill done that enough but will think all the paying members
