I have occasionally over the years made a financial contribution to our message board. I used to send Betty my check and she would take care of the rest. I would like to make a donation at this point for the running of the boardIm sure there are fees, etc. Is there a simple way I can do this? Lyne :)

I was just asked this by a fellow member the other day too, Lyne. How is the board supporting itself? I know that we're supposed to be self-supporting through our own voluntary contributions. I'd like to donate some money to it's running also. It's been a great help to me over the years.

Hey all - I believe there are hosting fees each month/year as well as site fees each month/year. If you search 'funding drive', you'll find the when, where, etc. I'm not certain if anything has changed or what's up so ... this may be 'old news'...
I think user webhelper might be one to reach out to and confirm. Hope this helps!

Lyne, Overcome, IAH -- Thank you for thinking about contributing. There are fees for the forum and the webhosting, and at the moment our accounts are up to date. In May, our web hosting bills come due and we will post a donation button at that time.
There is another service that supports all of the forums here on MIP -- and although that account is also in good shape at the moment, you can contribute any time at the following link, and we will be credited towards future bills for that service:
Thanks Webhelper for the donation link. I tried to donate through the credit card link with my debit card, but it said that my bank had declined it. I have money in that account but my bank has recently upped it's security so that might have blocked it. I will send my donation by mail. Thanks again for the link.
