 Inspired by EA's deliciously irresistible donuts, Pics & Recreation has come up with a plan to con encourage our forum members to open their wallets and support Ad Free viewing with Premium Badges!With a purchase of two (2) 50,000 page view packages,
you will receive a custom badge created just for you! You can keep it for yourself, or gift a badge to a forum friend. It can be anything you want, provided it does not cross the PG-13 line, it does not closely match one of our current badges and has the mark of a premium badge. The Art Department is here to help with designs and all designs must be approved by Pics & Rec. Click here for information on how to purchase an Ad Free package.Please select the "Don't apply. Let staff decide." option. Yes, it is begging and slightly sleazy... but for the good of the forum and Ol' Gil! Another question for Ol' Gil Gunderson. If we submit a badge as a gift for someone, does it automatically become available to anyone willing to meet the price? Or does it remain exclusive? |

That's a good question! I'll have to speak with my manager... [-*-*- soft jazz hold music -*-*-]... Alright there, pal! My manager says that is up to you, the purchaser. If you want it to remain exclusive, great! If you don't mind sharing, then you can give the OK for others to also purchase your custom design. |

That's a good question! I'll have to speak with my manager... [-*-*- soft jazz hold music -*-*-], the soft jazz made me laugh out loud.  (Just so you know, Ol' Gil Gunderson, that's a compliment. No need to fall to your knees in anguish this time.) |

LSLeong When I saw your LOTR badge, can you guess what went through my mind?

@yossarian I use to use the tray as a cup holder, but it would close automatically after a few minutes spilling my drink
So after the 10th time that happened I decided to use it for other things.

Hmm Spiffshine I'm also getting an error message when I try to donate Try logging out of the forum first, then you'll see the " click here to remove ads" in small blue lettering at the bottom. That's how I was able to do it. Just make sure to log back in before your transaction goes through or it will show up as an anonymous contribution. Hope that helps |

Like canned soup they may have an expiration date. [sar]I've got this Red Fraggle image that would make a nice badge. And a Cleo. And maybe even the jerkoff badge for JoeBeezy. [/sar]  |

imfkool, A Bad Example, and everyone else having trouble... I have no idea what is going on with the purchasing page. It is weird, for sure, but will work with a little creative workaround that some other kind souls have figured out. 1) LOG OUT of the forum, then follow the links to purchase Ad Free. 2) When you get to the store page, it may say Admin at the top, but there is a link to log in again:  3) After logging in, you will be taken back to the store page where your username appears:  4) Spend money. Get badge. NOTE: You can purchase two (2) 50,000 Pageviews pages -or- one (1) 100,000 Pageviews for a premium badge. Both are acceptable. Be sure to choose the option to let staff decide when to apply.

Spiff works sooooo hard!!! If I donate, please put my money toward her clone. About the thing I posted about on page 2, now I can see the "click to remove ads" at the bottom even when I'm logged in. Looks like there's a link to the left too. Thanks Gil. |

And Spiffshine has been doing an amazing job of keeping track of all the orders and making sure people get exactly what they want. I really hope ProBoards recognizes and appreciates how much revenue you guys are bringing in for them. |
