    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Edit button?

I was just curious as to why the edit button in the forums was taken off? I really liked being able to edit my posts because of typos and what not. Thanks. :)
 
The edit button is only visible in those forums where editing of the messages is allowed here. I have to admit, though, that I haven't checked to make sure that the editing permissions are correct in all forums, so let me know where it is you don't see it and I will check it out.
 
Well the leopard gecko, gecko, bearded dragon forums just to name a few we aren’t allowed to edit. I quickly browsed through the forums and it looks like all the lizard, snake and general forums can’t be edited along with all the sub forums.
 
I checked the permissions tables for those forums. All of the discussion forums can be edited only by Contributors. This is one of those membership level enhancements I have been talking about lately.

No, that would make you a participant.
 
Yeah , you are right. I would of deleted my post earlyer but I donate anough money. I would love to but money is to tight.
 
Is there a certain amount that is the least amount you can donate to become a contributing member? I want to donate, but poor college students are on a budget like eveyone else, lol. Thanks.
 
The cost to become a Contributing Member is $25. I understand your plight, but I had to set the limit somewhere.
 
After using this site and others of Rich's sites since June of 2003, I finally kicked in the money And surprisingly, though I'm sure it's not related, I had a sudden windfall that made the contribution economically feasible...after I contributed! If nothing else it makes me feel good to know I've supported the site. If after a year I feel the same way, I'll send in a similar donation. If I don't feel it's worth my time, I won't. That simple. But I feel it is worth the time and the money... we all participate, but some contribute to the high cost of running this site. I like that I might get a few extra perks. :)
