Been a while...a really really long while. I know I use more server space than non-pic-posting members (although I try to keep my pics small) and want to contribute something for it (straight VISA). But the "Donate to SimHQ" button isn't jumping out at me, nor have I found anything on a preliminary search. A little help?

Gives way and suddenly it’s day again
The sun is in the east
Even though the day is done
Two suns in the sunset, hmph
Could be the human race is run

For me, it's on the right side of the screen - a yellow button:

I donated several times in the past but there's no need to donate now since we have the ads.

I don't see the button, but maybe it's my configuration. That link is all I need...thanks.

Yes, and unfortunately not much else. The site still looks as awful on smartphones as it did years ago.

If you go into your Preferences and change Turn off the right column to No you can get the Donate button to show again.
Another reason to consider changing this Preference is so you can get the Quick Search, Recent Articles, and Recent Topics boxes back too.

Change Turn off the right column to No and the right hand column of blocks that includes the Paypal Donate button in the Support SimHQ block should appear.

The link ArgonV posted earlier in this thread does not work any longer.


For some reason the entire section of blocks on the right hand side of my screen goes away when I login. Those blocks include the recent articles links and the Donate button for Paypal. I am able to see the Donate button and an Amazon shop button when I am logged out of the site but as soon as I login they are hidden.

Logged out of the site the Donation button is visible to me.

When the Donate link is followed it takes you to a PayPal page.
