Did some more reading, one point of clarification: How it works is, for a 24-hour period after an Amazon link on the forum is clicked, anything added to the shopping cart is credited to the forum. Later, if any of those items are purchased, then the forum gets a small benefit from the sale...

Story of my life. All good things come in time, but I am grateful that life doesn't keep count of mistakes made along the path. Thanks, this is exponentially easier than the route I was planning... haha Wouldn't work well otherwise, for sure. Well, it was only a few dollars last time, but we...

Great questions folks! We can probably grab products from the Member Spotted Deals section and roll with that, or we could organize a monthly poll, that could be a fun way to keep it a bit more engaging. It's not crazy difficult to change out, but it is a bit of HTML hidden away in the admin...

Hey Folks, Years ago, I tried to set up an amazon affiliate account. They ended up sending a cheque for almost nothing (it was like $1.39 or something, lol) It's been a few years, so I wanted to give it another go and see if it may be a non-intrusive way to further build up some revenue for...

On this end, Paypal's fees are very similar to other merchant processors (like stripe, etc.) which would be the alternative if we wanted to take credit cards directly. Paypal's are marginally more, like around 1% different if my memory serves, but in exchange, the forum, doesn't have to handle...

I live by the Adam Savage rule of thumb, "buy the cheapest version possible, and if it ever needs to be replaced then buy the best version you can afford". However, there are definitely some items where it's easier to learn from others who have been down the path. The pain of trying to get...

I think the issue is with email notifications going to addresses which fail, triggering server-side anti-spam protections. Just testing some potential solutions here: 1) Reducing the quantity of "daily summary" emails sent at a time, to avoid flooding the outbox, so to speak. 2) Going to see...

Okay, Just to summarize: 1) Three users had a mishap during the Jan crash and may need their supporting member status back. 2) One/Some users see different membership levels 3) Email Notifications For #1, Who is impacted? For #2, I think what is being seen is that if you're already on the $60...

The issue is likely tied to folks hitting the "Reply" button on the emails they are receiving, instead of coming to the forum to reply. In checking the inbox , I can see several people replying to a no-reply email address, the email which sends the email notification. This both confirms that...

Just an image upload test.

Glad things are back up, but you'll see that we lost a few days of content, sorry folks. I am prepping a full explanation offline, as I have to get the details to the ... many websites impacted by this one... Yes, it has been a very very long week for me.

Not 100% clear to me at this time. It appears that the calendar plugin I linked above works by creating a special thread type. The owner of a thread also controls the calendar, it's events, and appears to be responsible for the upkeep of the calendar (addition, removal, and editing of...

This looks like it would work, but we would need to designate a "caretaker of the events calendar": https://xenforo.com/community/resources/calendar.5606/

Spent some time with a colleague brainstorming on this, but.. ..this makes this impossible for me to diagnose. It sounds like it might be something like a browser extension conflict, but I have no idea how to begin to tackle this. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Please excuse the delay, I stepped away from the forum for a couple of weeks for a bit of time to clear my head. Probably browser caching. Please empty your browser cache and have a quick review. Let me know if anything is out of place. Appreciate the kind comments. Have to give things a try...
