Off topic - guilty as charged ... :)

The £ sign top right of a few stats summaries - is there a donation button I've missed ?  I've looked around a few times since joining the team - can't see one.

There used to be a donation site for the forum through Tim (founder).
I`m not sure if it is still in operation, it was by pay pal, through Tim`s email addy, which I will give you by PM is you wish.

Rick,

I was under the impression that it was Darren who dealt with hosting the forum these days, so it might be a good idea to check with him before anyone goes and donates anything.    :wink:

You could well be right James. I believe that the last I heard, there were enough funds to keep the forum running, though that was some time ago.

Let me know what happens Zy. If more funds are needed, I`ll gladly donate to the kitty.

IIRC Tim used to have to pay for a server for the UKBT site (not the forum). He asked for donations a few years ago but after the initial asking didn't ask again so I assume that he pays for that part of the site himself as part of his, ahem, work!

BUK had a pop at us about that stating that they would never ask for donations to run the team.
