Thanks to all who contributed !!

[Hershal Byrd]

I believe that I have recieved all of the donations. I want to thank each and every contributor. We collected a total of $680.00. This should keep the forum going for another year or so. The checks recieved will be forwarded to Ron this Monday.
Once again thanks to all who help. My apologies for holding on to the checks for so long. I know many of you want to keep your check books straight. I'm sure Ron will cash them quickly and all will be well. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Hey Folks,

Hershal, that is a great total and I certainly appreciate all those that have helped. We're paying a little bit more per month now for hosting since we've added pictures. Pictures dramatically increase bandwidth and we went over our limit for the first time last month. I've upgraded the service and we'll see how it goes.

We also received $195 through direct PayPal submissions and we certainly appreciate that as well. Looks like we'll have enough money to last for another 10 months or so depending on how the software upgrades go. I'm looking to add a gallery into the software which is fairly easy to do. Also might have some simple ad banners too if manufacturers are interested. Suprisingly, most seem to shy away when anything about advertising, contributions, or money pops up. Imagine that! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Thanks to all who have supported the forum and have enabled us to keep it going as a free service.

Best,
Ron

Ron,

I've been using Coppermine for a gallery on my webserver at the house... it's free and does a fair job. My lousy web skills don't do it justice.

I think it uses a MYSQL backend... which is free also.

Just .02

Thanks,
Shannon

Hersh, Ron,

My apologies, but I only got my payment in the mail this morning. Thanks for a great forum that I'm proud to be a member of.

No problem folks. If we can sort it out we'll post a list of the Forum contributors and assign them a title under their name or something similar. Just a little something to show support etc. We had a few more contributions via PayPal totaling $75 which isn't bad, basically pays for an entire month of server time. Thanks again,

Ron
