    How to make donation/contribution?

    @Admin, when it will become possible?
    A tree is known by its fruit, a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost, he who sows courtesy, reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.
    Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.

      You have always been able to make credit card donations even if you do not have a PayPal account. It is just that all payments route through the CTN PayPal account.

        To answer my own question, see picture below.

          Oh, I thought I had that hidden from view? But now that it's out there, I got the payment system set up and verified a few days ago so the general donation link is technically alive. I will add a few other "donation" categories and easier navigation to find them over the weekend which might offer some perks in exchange for your ongoing support. Expect an announcement soon.

            Will the contributor badges be returning?
            Worked in IT for 12 years from Helpdesk up to System Administrator. Now working as the IT Manager at a copier company for the last 4 years.

            If I helped you out, please give me a thumbs up! It helps my reputation.

              The color of your name serves the same purpose. That is why Aneurysm's name is RED because he is the Administrator.

              Have you even donated before? Your name is a lighter yellow than tsbservice or mine and on your profile page your name is white.

                Never even thought to look at that. Honestly just ignored the colors. Before it was a huge red icon that was quite hard to miss.

                No I haven't. Was thinking about it through. The main reason I use it was for the "help send me xyz firmware/movie data/ect" threads. I tend not to bother sending it if they haven't donated to the forum.

                  Exactly the same color scheme as with the older software

                    I bet Synthohol added to this site hundreds of contributions a way much more than his private contributions...so sometimes it's not a big deal.
                    Good techs are the core of this site not contributors they just keep it going.

                      Huge badge is missed. With dark theme I have problems to pinpoint Contributor easily plus recognising new topics isn't straightforward too.
                      Maybe it's just me I'm not very good at seeing colours which is kinda paradox for copier tech

                        Yeah the color for someone who has not contributed is more of a cream color instead of white in dark style. In default style it is blue. I sometimes have to switch styles just to read something. At least switching switching is easy, other than you have restore what you just typed.

                          Switching styles is what I do too....in fact I know most of contributors here just by the name.
                          However badge was big go give them what they need for new members just registered in need of manual or firmware.

                              Only issue now is that it seems that everyone is a Site Contributor, even those that aren't. As of this comment, everyone seems to be listed as a Site Contributor.

                              I'm not about to take credit for something that I haven't done.

                              My Ricoh knowledge is slowly dwindling away at this point. Many things have been lost to time...
