I'm a little confused on this:
Attachment Upload up to 7MB (up from 2.5MB)

The biggest current attachment available is a .jpg or .zip at 97.7KB

Where does the 2.5MB or 7MB come into play?

Thanks
Jim

what about those of us with neither the use of paypal or cc. I could toss a few bucks over that way with money order ..

I just looked at this, but just wanted to clarify. If you pay 20 bucks you are a member for 20years?

You're already a member but becoming a site supporter gets you extras as described by DMAG below.

20 years was just an arbitrary number that was put in there... chances are most of us won't still be driving out Patriots in 20 years anyway!

Thanks Gaze/Octazcat...I was just unsure if it was a monthly payment or a one time payment, and if I read this correctly it is a one time payment. I'll be showing my support soon!

For shame, for shame! I hope your ride didn't hear that. Sorry Pirate, I didn't even answer your original question.

Curious: With over 8000 members, how many site supporters are there?

We have 65 site supporters. Or around 0.8% of our users.

Thank you for your support! ....and thank you to EVERYONE who has assisted us!

Rant
Wow 0.8%, I could fill in a lot of words here that would get me kicked off the board.

People this board is hosted and maintained completely by VOLUNTEERS. Just ask yourself:

- how much time has the information here saved you
- how much money have the ideas provided here saved you
- how many wild goose chases did you avoid by reading what is here

It is a one time contribution, just think of how much you are paying for internet access each month and think about the few bucks being suggested. You saved that in gas by buying a Patriot in the first place.

Rant over, the board may now return to providing helpful information

Many members get a lot out of this forum, judging by the number with hundreds, or even thousands of posts. These senior members, especially, should make a contribution.
