Now you can check your DU donor status!

[Skinner]

We probably should have created this function long ago, but somehow we never got around to it. We now have a Donor Status function, where you can keep track of your donations to Democratic Underground, and find out when your donor status expires.

To check your donor status, click the "Options" icon at the top of any page. It looks like this:

 
Options

Then click the link that says "Donor status".

Or you can just click here.

IMPORTANT: We try hard to keep our records as accurate as possible, but we expect there will likely be some errors. If you think any of the information on your donor status page is incorrect, please send an email to [e-mail] (that's me). Please include as much information as possible so we can remedy the problem. (Note that the "Donation History" section of the page only shows donations made since January 1, 2008.)

Donors don't see most ads on DU. I mentioned http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Skinner/234">earlier this year that we have been experimenting with some new, more prominent ad placements. One of the benefits of donating is that you don't have to look at the ads. So if you are a donor, we want to be sure that your donor status is up to date before we start running the new ads.

If you sent us a donation in the mail in the last few weeks, it probably will not appear on your donation history. I apologize, I have a stack of unopened mail here on my desk. I am going to try to get to it later today so you can get credit for your donations. You should get an automated private message to let you know it has been received.

And, of course, if you would like to donate, just click this link: http://www.democraticunderground.com/donate.html

Thank you to all of our donors. Your support is vital to keeping this site online.

1. I'd be happier without the bells and whistles, and with fairer moderation of the board.

But thanks.

Edit to add example. Same article posted. Mine locked as flamebait. The other still open.

Mine: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=5824234

The one still open: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5950290&mesg_id=5950290

This is what people have tried to talk to you about in the other thread.

10. Amen, Maddy. n/t

[Hutzpa]

12. You are out of order to use this thread to post

your complaint.... you are becoming a hand full.

[LowerManhattanite]

15. Absolutely NOT the thread to do this in...

This is something to take up with the mods or with Skinner via e-mail or something.

It's a gross veering off from otherwise benign Skinner's OP. “To every thing there is a season”.

And this ain't the one for that.

2. Interesting. Thanks.

[NightWatcher]

3. d'oh my star is running out soon. I just donated but gave the star away

I guess your going to drag another few bucks out of me in a couple of weeks or so.

:sarcasm:

it's money well spent, thanks

[Arkansas Granny]

4. Great idea. I try to donate during each fund drive and I can never remember when

I need to donate for myself and when I can give a star to someone else. This is going to make it easy.

Thanks for doing that, *that's* cool :thumbsup:

[Coexist]

8. I'm cool with the bells, whistles and moderation.

16. K & R. Please Skinner, the site has reached the half way mark

for donations, only a matter of a few days when all of us contnue to donate. Please change the icons to Bush and McCain. Thank you.

[question everything]

17. Thank you. Tell you the truth

I know that on election night in November, we may be on defcon 12, or so, when only donors would be able to even log in.

Thus, while I probably will donate before that, I would like to save my reserves for those DUers who will need a star for that night.
