Hello,

Some time ago, I noted someone (probably Jean Thibodeau) was a member of the "Benefactors" group (quote: "members who are pledging on-going financial support to myArmoury.com to help offset the costs of running this site"). I agreed with the reasoning of the group description and joined because although I wanted to support the myArmoury project, I didn't really want any of the member services or plans and preferred to enable a regularly scheduled pledge (as opposed to remembering to make regular donations).

I note that the Benefactors group is listed nowhere on the site (certainly doesn't show up in a site search); why not list it along with the other methods of offsetting the site expenses in the Contributor Center? There probably are at least a few other people out there who would be happy to pledge as opposed to making a one-time donation.

This is a minor concern considering the number of ways to help myArmoury (as well as get something out of it, with the upgraded memberships), but it seemed like the existence of the group was perhaps off of the radar screen from almost everyone's standpoint.

Cheers,
GLL

O.K. got " Smart or sneaky : : I noticed that " Benefactor " is written on the profile on the left under the Avatar of Gabriel as well as the other groups he belong to ...... so I clicked on it and this got me to the Benefactors subscription page and I made my donation and things seem back to normal here and with the functioning of my Paypal account.

Now if there is an easier and more obvious way to find the " Benefactors Subscription Page " rather than finding another memberI haven't found it or at least others looking for it might not find it.

Also fixed my Premier Group membership that was also " accidentally " cancelled.

Private business but I think it might have some general interest if any other members have the same problem and anything to encourage contributions although we are not currently into a fund drive every little bit during the year helps. ;) :D

Jean-

All usergroup functions are is the "usergroups" page, available in the navigation bar of the forum.


Members who are logged in see:

I know the feeling and can relate to the blind eye!

Wait a minute, are you telling me to put a sock in it? What?

:D

See what I mean ! Usual should read usually ..... but no edit function to keep me fromp loooookingg stooupidd !

Oh, the " E " and the " X " that is usually between " QUOTE " & " REPORT " not there ???

So the " X " for delete post is also missing ........ :confused: :?:

Would have edited my previous post instead of making another if I could. ( Sorry, don't want to multiply these posts anymore so I will let the subject drop or go to P.M. : It's not really a problem but I'm just curious about what I'm noticing and the why of it. :D :cool: )

Jean,
Not every forum or sub-forum is set up the same way.

When you're in a post or a forum page, scroll to the bottom and you'll see what your permissions are in that forum/sub-forum.

Look for text like this:

Quote:

You can post new topics in this forum You can reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You can vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum

Those permissions vary by forum and by user type.

Thanks Chad this does answer the question and my curiosity is satisfied. ;) :lol: :cool:

Funny how many things one doesn't notice unless one is looking for it or needs it to do something or is stopped from doing something !

Don't want to argue about the reasons for each Forums rules but I guess there is some reason why one isn't allowed to edit posts or delete them on this sub forum ? It just makes typos more " painful when one can't go back and correct them.

Not really a problem though. ;) :cool:
