    Good morning there were a few members that couldn't get access to GC yesterday:smile:


    So that was why it was quieter than usual:lunapic 130165696578242 5:

        Good idea to put up this post Webmaster as a certain person who'll remain nameless hadn't donated for ages:whistle:. Memory duly jogged!

          Thanks again everyone for your ongoing support in helping to keep GC up ad running.

          This time of year, the Google funds really do tail off due to not as much interest in gardening, and all donations via the 'Donate' button really are appreciated.

          Thanks again and have a Great Christmas and a Wonderful New Year.

              Thought I had better bring this back up to thank everyone for their continued support of the forum, without it the forum would not be able to keep running.

              There comes times when I need to consider adding adverts to the site to help pay for the running of this site, this threat won't go away, as without donations, I would need to consider other forms of bringing in revenue and I do try not to clutter the site with adverts.
              As you all know, I have had to run now on a dedicated server due to the size of the site, and that costs a lot of money to do, to get the best deal I also paid up front for 12 months, which I didn't want to do, but it worked out a lot cheaper.

              Any donations being received are helping to pay off what it has already cost me, so for everyone helping, either by adding good quality content (which helps make the site great) or by means of a monetary donation (or both obviously ;) ), I am truly grateful.

              Hopefully, the site will see some changes in the coming months, with added areas like a shop, which again will help run the site, and give you something 'non-virtual' in return.

              Thanks again

              Nathan

                Thank you Nathan for reminding me of the hidden costs of keeping this site running. I do regularly donate but there have been quite a few joining over the last 3 months or so who may be unaware of the dedication and commitment that goes into Gardeners Corner by you and the rest of the team,
                Jenny

                      Thought that I had better bring this back up and to thank everyone for their continuing support for the forum, it is very much appreciated, especially as I have to renew the hosting of the forum again very soon, and I get a better deal for paying 12 months in advance than rolling monthly.

                        There is something wrong with the credit card input form. It has the drop down country selector with "Canada" in it but there is no drop down for our provinces.

                        Is there some way to circumvent this as the c.c. won't process without the correct billing address info?

                          Glad you did a reminder. I meant to send a donation a few weeks ago and then promptly forgot:doh:. Thank you for continuing to run such a great forum which so many of us enjoy.
