Now and again I get messages from members who want to donate to the running costs of the forum. There used to be a donate 'add on' a few software versions ago but there were some issues with it so I removed it. One of the features of the board software is to create a user upgrade option. I have previously used it for vendors to rent their own forum space for advertising etc but the older software versions relied a lot on manual intervention and were a tad clumsy with regard to expired upgrades etc (boring I know) so it didn't really go as well as hoped. While I was reworking the Vendor Sponsor section I thought it might be a good idea to offer a user account upgrade for all members thus solving the problem of having a donation add-on for people who want to use it.
There is only one real difference between an upgraded account and a standard account and that is.... for the duration of an upgrade, advertising is switched off.
Nothing else (except a supporter badge), no hidden forum, no extra permissions, nothing. Bargain I hear you say!!!
There are 4 options for upgrade
Please note, there is no requirement (and never will be) to upgrade, it's just an easy way to provide a mechanism for people to donate if they want to.
