Forum Donations required

Guys, vBulletin has released a new you beaut version, but have also changed their payment structure for the support. If we buy the new version before the end of this month, we save about 50%, but unfortunately the OZgolf account is a little short of the amount required.

If you enjoy using the forum without ads and responsibility to businesses, then please consider paying a few bucks to OZgolf via the paypal links.

If we can get the new version, expect it to be running on this site some time in December.

So who do I tell my wife "Dean" is when his name appears on my credit card bill ???

[Jarro]

What if we don't have a paypal account anymore ?

[zigwah]

BPAY? bugger paypal they take too much

[AndyP]

You don't necessarily need a paypal account to make a paypal payment.

[razaar]

Excellent idea Zig

[sms316]

How much are we talking about? $20 each?

Either way, consider it done.

[3oneday]

Do I get tracking ?

[goughy]

Hey all! Thanks for helping out again. SMS, 5 bucks goes a long way. We just try and cover the costs of the software, domain name registration and site hosting. And everyone has helped well with that over the years. I don't know anything about this new version myself, but Andy and Clikchic think it's the ducks nuts. If we jump now we can get it cheaper which seems a smart idea to me.

As many of you know, Clikchic hasn't been well for a while now. She's switched down to part time work for the next month but is going to finish up at the end of November, and take some time at home to rest etc. So she's keen to revamp things here a bit. So we may be able to make some changes to the way things look and work, and maybe even take some suggestions to how to make things better! (and if it makes Andy's job easier all the better, he pretty much single handedly runs this place!!)

[Jarro]

Nice work folks

So $20 each should more than cover all costs Goughy ?

And as mentioned earlier by Zigwah, is there a Bpay payment method available ?

[jaybam]

You could always give the cash to Andyp at the champs???

[rodders]

payment made... and yeah, who the hell is Dean?

C'mon guys, this place is great. Think of the entertainment value and bargains that have been had all because of the hard work of a few.

[mike]

Payment made. Does the new version have private messages?

[just]

Can we get rid of PM's?

[Grunt]

Can we get rid of PM's?

Yes you can Just, go to ISG

[Lucasto23]

paid

[AndyP]

I've had a few PMs about the payments. As goughy said, 5 bucks is plenty if several members contribute. I'm not across the amount in the paypal account (and also have no idea what the deal with BPay would be), but I was told we were $50 short for the upgrade. Of course, raising over this won't hurt because, then it would cover future costs of the portal, server, domain, etc.

From the sounds of it, the $50 would be covered by now, so thanks guys. Anything extra helps for later on.

Im a bit of a lurker, even still the entertainment on this site is well worth paying for.

Donation happily made.

[Xray]

Like Tomo, I am a bit of a lurker, entertainment value and good cheap gear I have obtained from oz golf site is well worth it.

Cheers

Although with zigwah off the turps, someone may have to step up to the plate to make up for lost entertainment. Zagwah?

[Eag's]

As soon as I get home I will jump on Paypal and fire some dosh off.
I am at work and can't access it from here

[Jarro]

So what exactly can we expect from this new improved, you beaut vBulletin ?

[adlo]

Probably nothing. Goughy needed a new driver.

[Sydney Hacker]

So what exactly can we expect from this new improved, you beaut vBulletin ?

Ads, lots and lots of ads...

[marcel]

When I pay is it for a 5 minute argument or the full half hour ?

you get the full half hour. Here, I'll go first:

$5 is too much to pay for this threadjacking wankfest.
