How to Post Pictures / Become a Patron

[MadMechanic Active Users Find all posts View Profile Close MadMechanic]

Hey Everyone -

In an effort to help pay for site management fees we implemented a "Patron" member class. There is no specific amount you need to pay (Even $2.00 is fine!) to become a patron, just min of $2.00 (The processing fees on $1.00 are 34 cents, meaning only 66 cents are actually received). It's just a way to show you support the site. The easiest way to pay is via Paypal. You can use the following link:

Become a MadMechanics.com Patron using Paypal

After submitting via Paypal please send a PM to the user 'admin' just letting us know that you've submitted a payment!.
Please understand those who become Kitcarsforum.com patrons will not receive any other increased influence or privilege as a result of their membership aside from the envy of their peers

Thanks!

Step #2) Click the upload tab


Step #3) Browse for the file

And you're done!

Re: Changes in image uploading permissions

WHAT!!! A $1 ARI i have to give you a NEG KARMA for that! LOL J/K ari that seems like a good idea as most of the people that do upload pics are already ,partrons there are a few that just post one ad just to sell something if im thinking of buying it i could just have them email me the pics that wont be a problem for me..  but i agree with it i want to keep reading this forum for a very long time and this is the best fourm out there!!! also if you wanted to you could charge a few $$ for a sale ad in the mall section? its only a few $$ thats alot cheaper then other places also the other places dont allow the "F" word in there ad's which is a big bonus for you..

Ari:

How do I send the donation?

Mail will work for me. Just need the address.

Also, I like the site clean of curse words as well. I think it loweres the quality of your efforts. Some of us have other family members looking at this site. It is best in my opinion not to have porno or improper language on the site.

How do we add a word to the dictionary? Something like Fiero and Fiero's need to be added.

I'm not sure Ari can do all that.

There is a language filter on the site which should insert *'s into most four-letter words -

Hi Ari,

I can't see how this is costing you anything, and maybe we can help. We consume over 1000 gb/ month, and all of our sites cost us a total of $99/month. This includes all of the revenue sites.

I am wondering about the hosting you are on? It might be like car insurance renewal time...time to shop around :>)

Cheers,

Re: Changes in image uploading permissions & How to become a Patron

his hosting is nothing usually expensive, but the site has been up for years and costs add up. i would support donations even if the site was hosted for free, since it's voluntary. people can use imageshack or other image hosting services to post photos over 90kb if they want.
