CCF Donation Challenge

Not sure where to post this, so I'll do it here in the hopes it gets more attention. I'll ask the moderators relocate it as deemed appropriate.

I'm always a firm believer in "putting my money where my mouth is", such as tipping where the service was great...or donating to things I see as worthwhile. Given the time I spend on these CCF Forums, the good info I obtain and continue to obtain, plus the "Web friendships" I've made with fellow-Corvette owners, I see CCF as deserving of donations. In a world where nothing is free nor should we expect it to be free, especially for things we use, appreciate and benefit from, I encourage everyone else to donate to CCF so we keep it running and in a more concrete way, provide our thanks to all the organizers, moderators and others who generously volunteer their time to run the joint.

With that in mind, my challenge is this:

-I'll match whatever anyone donates to CCF by the end of this month, as long as your donation is a minimum of $25 (the cost of a good burger, shake and fries), up to a maximum of $480 (that will bring my donation total to an even $1,000)
-simply make a donation (see the "donate" section on the right of the home page...it's super easy) then post on this thread you've done so, and I'll match it up to my limit
-I'm hoping this results in CCF getting far more than the $480 X2
-if you've not already donated, now's the time. Or if you've already donated but feel you could do more, now's the time. And if you share my view of these Forums, this should be a no-brainer. I suspect for many, the good advice obtained on these Forums, has saved you a lot more than just $25...
-I understand the funds are needed for bandwidth and other expenses associated with running internet Forums such as this
-note: this is my idea and no one else has suggested this challenge, so for you "cynics" out there (you know who you are), rest easy: this isn't a contrived set-up but rather a sincere effort to thank those behind the scenes and support the future development of these Forums.

And for those of you "lurkers" who often check out CCF but have yet to join, I encourage you to become a part of this and contribute your knowledge and advice, plus ask questions to more readily directly benefit from the community (and eventually, when you realize it's deserved, donate as well).

Now over to you...

Hello all. This might be a silly question. I have searched the donate section on this forum and can’t find out how one is suppose to donate. Is there a How To link to click on that you just follow the donate process?

Sure thing, it's on the menu at the top or left (depending on which layout you have).

You can also go directly to this link: Donate towards CCF Support

I tried to donate a custom amount, which I entered, click on donate at the bottom after selecting method and get you can’t donate 0 or some such. Help please?

You can donate any custom amount here.

Make sure you delete the zero.

I did delete the zero and will try again, thank you. I also thought I would mention that when entering text in a post or reply that when I type and hit space half of the previous typed word is gone. ie : type corvette, hit space and all you see is corvet . Got the same fairy often using the predictive text. Thought you should know . Different browser makes no difference for what it’s worth .

Thanks for the report. I'm not able to recreate this issue and no one has reported it but will keep an eye.
