A reminder for those who have recently donated

[mouser]

It should never take more than 24 hours after you make a donation to get a thank you from us and an email on how to activate your forum account.
If you donate with paypal you should get activation and license information almost instantly.

Every so often someone donates with an invalid email and we have no way of contacting them, or amazon/paypal somehow fails to notify us.

If you look up at the top of this page in the "User Info" box it will say your member group.  If you have donated and are still listed as a "Visitor" then do not hesitate to email us and let us know so we can fix your account (mouser@donationcoder.com), or join the irc chat channel (see IRC CHAT button above).

And do not hesitate to contact us with any other questions or suggestions.

Out of interest, what are the different categories of members, what do they mean?

[jgpaiva]

There are a few categories:
Charter Member - a donating member that joined when the site was starting up (can't remember the date, but it was up to early 2008 or something like that).
Member - a non-donating member that joined when the site was starting up.
Donating member - a member that joined more recently, and donated.
Participant - a non-donating member that joined recently.

[mouser]

jgp is almost right:

Charter Member - a donating member that joined during the first year of site or so (March 2005- April 2nd, 2006).
Honorary Member - someone given full access to site for a variety of reasons, usually for helping out or a freeware author.
Member - a non-donating member given full access to site for a variety of reasons.
Supporting Member - someone who joined after April 2006 and donated.
Participant - a regular non-donating forum user.

Wow, quick replies
Don't mind me, I'm a frequent visitor to this site but a newbie poster
Thanks all.

[Terflip]

Thanks for the Welcome letter and the warm greeting Mouser.
Newbie  poster, just wanted to say HI and thanks.

[mouser]

Welcome Terflip 

I know it must seem overwhelming at this point, but don't miss this thread where people can also tell us a little bit about themselves:
http://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=124.0

And also for supporting members of the site (like you!) this silly member kit thingy:

I recently came back to this site after a 1-year hiatus (a busy 1 year).  I am very happy to return and to participate in all ways.  I love this forum, the topics, and the intelligence I have seen thus far.  Most forums are simply bland, silly, and plain uninformative, unless it is a highly technical site.  But this site has a bit of everything and I simply love the programs I can try. Being an amateur programmer myself since 1991 (I do have a degree in Computer Science), I still tinker now and then as time permits.  However, my professional trade is as a WRITER and WEB DESIGNER, which I love just about as much!  THANK YOU MOUSER for your web site.  I love it and will continue to support you monetarily and in any way that is legal. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

I'm just wondering, what is the percent of people, who make donations and what is the average donation value?

[dadndave]

Its easy to donate and you get to give one of the programmers a little boost for there efforts that so often go unrewarded. Go on dig a little deeper and donate now it is painless.

[skwire]

Thanks for the nice words, dadndave.  Much appreciated. 

[TaoPhoenix]

Thanks for the nice words, dadndave.  Much appreciated.  

Even better than nice words are some nice dollars!
I donated today!

"$7 General/Fees and please give $10 each to Skwire, Mouser, and Kyrathaba"

Since I despise Paypal so much I'd sound like Renegade, Waith, and 40hz, I went with Kagi.

[skwire]

[TaoPhoenix]

Thanks for the donation, TaoPhoenix.  Much appreciated.

Yep! And I just went through the forum Distribution screen so it should be there soon.

[jadinolf]

Glad to be aboard!

Anyway, gotta have at least one post.

Hi! Just wanted to mention there's currently a bug on the cash-out page near the 24-hour message on the other end of the operation:



The mailto: link fetches the user email (in my case, publicdomainvic@gmail.com) whereas the link points to the proper admin email... it seems like they should match.

Just reporting in to assist since these little proper details make it better 

Or course, thanks a lot for keeping the DonationCredits program up! DC Rocks!
