BesslerWheel.com Donations

If you make a donation via pay pal you must enter the amount and then once it shows up in the box you have to click on "update total"

If you don't "update total" Scott gets nothing despite the fact that your amount is shown in in the amount box.

D'oh thanks for figuring that out Graham. I agree that is a pretty poorly designed UI they have there.
Thanks!

Hey you know what?!

my web hosting service doesn't cost that much ..

I have paid 200 bucks for 10 years of web hosting, unlimited bandwidth, 600Gigs, php5, database, unlimited emails, cpanel and Hell I even have access to linux on the machine and I can run the programs I want..

All that for a little 200$ .. That isn't much to pay really and all the adsense advertising with more than a dollar each time you click...

Seriously .....

Well LIB, thanks for bringing up this old thread.

I was one of those that doc discribed, but it wasn't because Im cheap, but only because I'm a computer dumb-dumb.

I finally clicked on the paypal button and I was amazad at how simple it was to make a donation. I can't post pictures on my own, or URL something from another site, and can't do those little blue boxes around a section of somebodies post like the rest of you do
.
Somehow they made paypal simple enough that even computer dumb-dumbs like me can donate.

Hope it went through

Merry Christmas to all

Leo

Thanks Doc for your kind words and for riling up the troops.

LIB I'm glad to hear you only pay $1.67 per month for your hosting service. I shopped around and the best I could do was $4.95 per month. How confident are you in the safety of your online data?

A lot of people have a lot of data on BW.com and it is their reasonable expectation that I do the best I can to protect it. That's why I also pay another $4.95 monthly fee for backup service. That comes to almost $120 a year.

And what is your personal time worth? A large number of features people enjoy on the site did not come with phpbb out of the box. I added them, including file attachments, albums, blogs, contact lists, the reputation system, and the wiki to name a few.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everybody! And thanks to everyone who donates to help keep this site going.

Scott, no need to take offence.. I am, as you know, one of those that donated!

My time is free btw.. I do it for fun, I also have some wikis, etc..

Heck, following that line of thought, I should be paid to post my wheel ideas here!

How secure is my provider.. lol..
As safe as yours really, how can you be so sure it's secure btw?!

[scott]

I just don't understand what you have to gain by discouraging people from donating. Just seems a little spiteful is all. Anyway let's forget it.

Here is an early access link to the forum upgraded from phpbb version 2 to 3. Most of the data has migrated properly, and the new version has many nice updates to the core forum, but unfortunately most of the extra features I added will not upgrade easily and will be a manual effort.

You can take a look here: http://www.besslerwheel.com/forum3/

Here is a feature comparison chart between the two versions: http://www.phpbb.com/about/features/

This is just a snapshot of the forum taken today to test the migration features. For now, feel free to browse the new forum but please don't post there, except for testing purposes only, since all the data there will be overwritten if and when I ever actually take the plunge and make the full upgrade.

All comments, questions, and suggestions are welcome!

Best,
Scott

Well no I dont want to discourage people from donating.. And btw, for everybody, there are interesting ads available at the bottom of the forum... ;)

Anywayz, if you ever want to try out a new web hosting there is iweb and its a bit cheaper..
