In case you felt I was criticising the other forums, that was not my intention. I was merely trying to establish that this forum for Beta owners appears to be by far more active and hence important to support. I am a LMC member and happy to be one for the foreseeable future. Most of the Beta talk in English appears to be on this forum for non US users from what I can tell, the LMC forum is really active for the earlier cars from what I see.

I'm an admin on a motorcycle owners forum,which also relies on donations so I'm very aware of covering costs and yet I haven't donated to his place!
I guess that because it isn't mandatory I haven't bothered. But I'm happy to chip in

I for one have never even considered the cost of running a forum and would happily donate also

I have returned from my week of fishing in France and am catching up with all the forum news.
I will speak with Tony asap to sort out when we can fix the Paypal plug in, but also to discuss possibly going forward with maybe a subscription based model. Nothing will be changing overnight, we will discuss & consult with you all once we have had a catch up.
As Admins what is important to us, is that we do not turn people off of this forum, because it may become subscription based to access the more in depth technical info, downloads Sale/Wanted sections etc. I've been a member of plenty of forums and apart from the Evo forum (but only in the early days when Nasser started it) this is by far the most active, plus this is definitely the most friendly/polite, which for me, is one of the pleasures of participation.
I will post up a a poll shortly, possibly two, but I have to think about the core questions that need asking. I have to speak with Tony first, as I do not make any decisions on my own, the Admin side works on a democratic principle with the emphasis on trying to be as open and impartial as possible. The Beta Forum comes first, this is not the place for my ego!!

The "Donations" via Paypal is now fixed, there is still a small glitch that Tony and I are working to resolve, this does not affect the actual donation just on the listing display of those who have donated and have chosen to have their donation shown publicly, which is the default.
I have tested this via Safari and Firefox, there will be later tests using Google Chrome, IE and a couple of other browsers but we are confident that its all working as I have made a successful donation.
We'll keep you posted on the resolution of the other bug.

Works on IE9  Just my twopenneth Matt but there are some forums were you can't read any content without paying a sub. I don't think that's the way to go - a sub to be able to post and/or read certain sections doesn't seem unreasonable though. |

Hi Matt
The Paypal button does nothing on IPad sadly.

Tony has confirmed that IE and Opera work properly, but iPad running iOS 6 does not work, nor does Google Chrome.

IOS 6 strikes again..... Just so folk know is this a forever issue or likely to be a 'just have not had the time to look at' issue? Not hassling, just wanted to try to get it clarified for any future use. Thanks for your efforts Peter |

Hi Matt
Just tried this on Firefox 15.0.1 (Windows XP) and still get a blank screen on pressing the donate button, what version did you try?

I am using v12.0 but I use a Mac.
Oops apologies, I forgot that Mozilla would have two versions depending on hardware platform.
The Windows version of Firefox does not seem to work (blank screen)

I just attempted to donate and sadly it still doesn't work.
My system is Win7 64bit and neither IE9 nor Firefox work correctly .
If you try to use IE9 the browser tells you that the owner of the website doesn't allow it to be opened in a frame but may work in a new window. If you then open the new window it doesn't carry forward the transaction details.
With Firefox clicking the donate button just gives a blank window (or frame?)
Firefox does the same from a linux box.
Update : However, if you install Opera, it works fine.

Hi Admins
Sorry to be a pain, but any further thoughts on how to get the donate button to work?
I am now using OSX Mountain Lion and Safari and have also tried XP with IE8 and previously Firefox.
If you want me to take a look, let me know as I think it would be useful to get it working.

Hi Peter Your right Peter we need to get it working, sorry both Matt and I have been a little busy of late. I'm at home this Saturday and willl have another look, I think it might be a case of removing the current Paypal plug-in and start a fresh thanks for your kind offer of help, we might take you up on that  We will keep you updated cheers Tony |
