Hi all,
As some of you may be aware, we have an intermittant issue where the add-on seems to drop people from "Site Supporter" status back to being a registered member.... happens once or twice a month. i DO keep a close eye, and make sure someone hasnt donated again thinking they have run out of Donation, however it;s happened twice this week, and is becoming a big liability.
The App developer has been contacted several times, and apparently this is the only board that has these issues and is "unable to support".
Therefore this leaves me no option but to revert to the inbuilt system - which has its pros and cons - however is inherrantly stable.
The removal of the add-on and the conversion to the internal system however is fraught with potential pitfalls though... so there is a small risk that the subsctiption status will be lost - however i will be making backups to ensure that if it does i can restore people to their rightful status.
The downside is that it will take a considerable amount of "Focused" time to safely do this - i.e. it's a full weekend job, with copious amounts of Coffee and Coke...
Therefore i will Disable the donations ability with immediate effect, and will advise everyone when we are back up and running.
Many apologies to those this has affected, and apologies to those who wish to donate to become a site supporter - Please bear with me and give me some time and things will be back to normal again.
Many thanks
Paul
