Hello!

I think you are refering to the "Donor" tags people get

If you donate a minimum of 10 dollars (I think), you get a icon that says "Donor" to the that will show up on all of your posts (just above your total number of posts). Being a Donor also removed all google adds from the website.

I think thats the benefits of donating, maybe an admin can confirm.

Oh, thanks Justin. I did know about that, just didn't know it by Paid Subscription.

[EMCguy]

FYI, you get to the paid subscriptions by going to your control panel, and on the left just below options is a line for purchase paid subscriptions. But it doesn't seem to work
(ie you cant actually purchase a subscription there) so I'm guessing now its a default option in the software that runs these forums.

The link to donate to the site is here:

I never noticed that it will get rid of the ads. Cool

Best regards,

Hehe, nope. I think tis actually in our ToA that we do not help busniesses who seek our help and then get paid for "fixing" it. Technically we are a site that helps home users only.

Are there busniesses that probably post here for help? Yes.

The paid subscription feature is built into the forum software. We don't utilize it.
