    Bah, I feel guilty because ALL I add is tutorials. Y'all add soul! I'm just a tutorial bot.
    Ask me a question about your c900! I promise I either can answer it or know someone who can

    We actually have had the busiest day from returning members within 24 hours today: "The most members online over 24 hours was 97, Today at 15:07". I think it was stuck around 75 members 6 months ago with the SC saga. Perhaps summer is over or it had something today with the mailing about the new Marketplace last night.

    My theory is these forums work like cell multiplication. It starts very slow but can increase very rapidly at some point under the right conditions. 1+1=2, 2+2=4, 4+4=8 and so on.

    But that's the combination that is needed. I think that things like tutorials bring people to the site, and the soul keeps them here. You need both for a site like this.

    You could send cash, personal check or money order. Let me know if you need the address. When received, I'll add you to the list of SW supporters.

    Just out of curiosity, why are donations charged in Euros?

    Is the credit card process server in the US or EU?

    You have to set a currency default for that plug-in. With the site hosted in Europe and Saab being European, I figured euros as the default would be appropriate. Paypal will automatically convert to your local currency.

    And thanks for your donation!

    AdSense is the easiest but it serves a lot of random ads. We tried it before and I don't think ads for Toyota. Chrysler, BMW, colombian and russian mail order brides like you see on SC should be on a Saab site.

    I'd rather have a yearly fundraiser like public radio.

    Glad to help!

    Do I get a "site supporter" badge or something?
