It isn't easy!-why have 3 steps of scrolling through various fields not explicity marked as 'Joining' or 'membership'.
If people have to be sent hyperlinks to help them then the system is letting the forum down.
How long would eBay or Amazon last if the way to join wasn't easy.
In the selling world 9 out 10 people don't complain about a site they just don't comeback (or contribute).
I wan't to contribute-all I'm suggesting its made easier for everyone-more money for the site etc.
Appreciate that.
We did have a big donate button at one time, then everything got linked into the shop and a number of other things, there were multiple places and ways of paying, then the site crashed and Tony has had to build it back up from scratch, pretty much on his own, whilst still trying to maintain a life away from here.
This method was probably already in the software so Tony has utilised it so he could get the site up faster, as before things will probably get easier and more user friendly in time, but for the moment Tony is trying to get a lot of other things edited and running. I know that you can appreciate that
