NOTIFICATION: re Forum Current Financial Position
« on: January 23, 2025, 02:33:46 PM »
For those unaware the forum has a 'Financial Supporters Board' and anything to do with our finances goes under there as with the yearly Treasurer's Report.
I am posting this under an open topic for all to see.

Last year 2024 there was 1 donation made by 1 member and without it we would not have met the cost of our Hosting Expenses for 2025 of $299.95c.
We now have $15 in our bank account and hence come next January without support during 2025 we will not be able to pay this.
I personally am already covering yearly overheads and I don't feel I should also cover this.

So please members, save up and try and make a donation before January 2026.

Cheers
Jenny

Hi Mark,
I think you clicked on the "Donate" image which does respond as you have stated.

From the same area . . .
We prefer donations paid directly to our bank account (Details)
Details are on  http://www.localweather.net.nz/smf/donations/77/forum-bank-account-number/2947/

I must confess I didn't donate last year for the first time in a few years. The year before it took 3 or 4 months at least after I'd donated before there was any increase in the donation total on the Board and I didn't get any feeling of satisfaction that it was much appreciated. It does seem that it's just the few regulars that make any contribution each year.
I will send my tuppence worth now.............

I  have the account saved with my On-line banking and that seems to work OK.

@TonyC
That would be my fault. I do not receive notification from either the bank or Paypal so I manually have to check them. I then have to manually update the forum page.
Since there is hardly any donations I do not regulars run around looking for them.
You could message me and let me know as some of the others do. That would help :)

I am afraid my time online is becoming more limited as my son with his many difficulties is getting older.

I apologise Tony, I understand where you are coming from.

Cheers
Jenny
