Ok, I'm really sick of the spinning crest thing I have, but I can't figure out how to inter a custom one, there no place to put in an address for a pic or anything? is this like the P.M. thing that you can only use after you have been here for a while? if so that sucks...

You have to be a supporting member to upload your own avatar.

Custom avatar, more PMs, more photo upload, advanced search features, etc, etc Besides the fact you get more perks, you also assist in keeping the site running. A lot of folks don't realize the amount of time and effort that takes place in the "background" keeping forums like this going. :)

At the risk of sounding like a cheap ba****d, I have questions about supporting menberships. I'd like to donate but I have no need for any of the benefits listed below, and $50/yr seems like a lot for basic forum access. Other car forums including FTE sites are asking half that or less.

As a marketing suggestion, is it possible to have another membership tier? One that doesn't require additional storage or bandwidth? I think you might attract more donations from visitors that just want to share and learn from others.

That's probably only something Sal could give you an answer on.... :hmm:

For me, I saved more then that because of this site so it's no question of being a supporter!!!

I agree with the saved $$$ and the wealth of information I have obtained about my car. Sure its free but I felt that I would like to support it to show my appreciation for the site.
