Making a donation

SimonInEdinburgh

Hi
I logged into my instance (stroke.flarum.cloud) then clicked remove footer (Not cos I want to remove the footer but I want to support you and get support back)

That took me to the donate page
I get a pop up that says you’re not logged in - apart from telling me the fact it doesn’t tell me the consequence so I don’t feel confident to proceed.
Is this message material? Am I doing something suboptimal or wrong?
Should I ignore it and just put in my payment details?

Thnx in advance 🙂
Simon

Hello SimonInEdinburgh
How are you?

Based on my personal experience in removing the forum footer and donating in general, as I have donated more than once, the method I follow is as follows:

1. Go to the Overview page in Forum Settings
2. Click on the “Donate” button.
On the donation page:
- The default donation amount is $7 or change it.
- Enter your name
- Type your forum ID in the message field
Click to donate
_______
The process of removing the footer is - as far as I know - automatic, so it is important to follow the instructions on the donation page.

Good luck

SimonInEdinburgh I get a pop up that says you’re not logged in

That should not happen, as you should donate just fine without being logged in (not sure if this is a Ko-fi thing, which is the service we use to process donations). Just to confirm, is it the https://freeflarum.com/donate page that you are viewing? Could you please share the screenshot of the popup, if possible?

Hi yes I can screenshot. Do I have to load the s/shot somewhere to then give an url to the post? Or is there a means I’ve not seen on this fora? - the image icon of this edit window inserts a markdown link prototype afaics
Thnx 🙂

SimonInEdinburgh you can click on the file icon to upload the image (or copy it and paste it in the post composer)

I don’t have that icon in this editor %~}
I also don’t have screen shot! B’cos…

the donate process ran differently this time
I’ve now received 3 emails
A receipt from Kofi
A thnx from FreeFlarum
And…
… A “you weren’t logged in when you donated” which is subtly implying I won’t get flarum offers & support unless I link to a Kofi account within 72hrs

NOW I’ve a step further I can ask for/ offer the support I actually want!

I’ll post that separately

Thnx to you both for replying 🙂

Ah sorry, that’s correct. I have set the upload permissions for members now, apologies for the oversight.

I am glad that you were able to donate though - thanks!
