Someone is going to have to explain to me why we have so much trouble getting folks to participate?...

It doesn't make a lot sense to me that someone go to all the effort of creating an account on a social site such as this with no intentions of attempting to build a relationship of any kind?

It only takes ONE successful post to break out of "Lurker" membergroup and move forward, this is the easiest place to start as all you have to do is say hello to everyone...

I'm kinda curious to see which members of the local non-profit organizations (that I've already had dealings with) are paying attention to social marketing on the web? I'm going to award all kinds of free advertising and good "karma" to anybody from a local non-profit org who remembers me and posts here... I'll go as far as to say that you may be surprised at how fast others will follow suit and respond to any fund raising efforts you may have in progress or launch at some future date (AND keep in mind that Google loves my Calendar feature & any messages you post here can be linked to Home->Calendar menu option date) 

You might also note that recent SEO improvements to our community here at Web Presence Consulting forums are responsible for a drastic increase in LOCAL traffic and system activity... due to the Global nature of this site, the possibility of going "viral" with your plea is more plausible as each day passes...

OOPs, almost forgot to mention the PayPal feature available here as well... PM me or get my attention in the Chat feature to ask questions about that... we also have very effective anti-spam strategies in place here, I have been working with that aspect of this software platform for a very long time and spammer/scammer wannebe's do not get past me, it's pointless to even try !!

The recent changes to the system dramatically lessen my own and future staff members' workload keeping tabs on scammer & spammer wannebe's, this message is directed right at you, you'll not get past ME, bring it!!...

Points to consider...

• I've modified the system to NOT allow you to insert links or images in several different fields of your Forum Profile admin settings where there's typically no validation on other SMF powered sites...
• Certain fields are modified so that these restrictions are permanent, I will let you know in subsequent replies which fields are restricted permanently as these hacks are not quite bullet proof yet
• The majority of the changes are not permanent however, once you satisfy a predetermined number of successful postings the system will allow you to replace the links or image
• Keep in mind that my admin settings may need a little tweaking as time progresses so the requirements may change again later

Some other tips about Forum Profile fields that you should be aware of...

• PayPal address - newly registered members ARE allowed to have guests send you payments via PayPal by filling in your address in the field for that purpose... HOWEVER, read the next few bullet points carefully for smooth functioning of this feature
• The PayPal address field is tied to the field directly above AND the one directly below your PayPal add
