Over the last few months I've taken advantage of the advert free feature for one of my boards and I have been very impressed with the end result and the members love it.
I do have an area of some concern though and wondered if I may make a suggestion.
Only staff members can access the Advert Free controls to buy credits which places a financial burden on them. Is there any reason that members of the Forum cannot access a "Donate for Advert Free' button?
Small contributions from members add up and the financial burden is then shared across the community.
Thank you for listening.
Chips.

Thank you for listening. Chips. Hi, chips  You can add a donate button on your board, so, members can simply click on it and make a donation, via paypal. Several forums use them as away of raising funds to keep ad' free.: Paypal donationSimply add the code to your headers/footers. So, if you want it to show at the bottom of all the boards, place it in your global footer. However, Probards do ask that you state that the button has nothing to do with the company.

Thank you sweet Sossity - always a ready and informative answer from you. I'll think about your suggestion but being honest, Paypal is not a favourite site of mine. I was kind of hoping that as Proboards already has the set up for us to purchase credits, that could be extended to members of the various boards. Thank you for your advice,,, it's always much appreciated.  Chips.
