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!

Capitalistic Greed · Nov 14, 2008

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! :smiley_thumbs_up:

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

neilcrichton · Nov 18, 2008

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.

I second your rant and send a thank you for becoming a site supporter.

0.8%? Are you kidding me? That is truly embarrassing.

Thanks

I just wanna thank you for clearing this up for me and they are right that is not enough i will be becoming a site supporter soon as well, thanks for an amazing site for an amazing vehicle.

driver12 · Mar 15, 2009

i was happy to become a site supporter because the site has helped give me ideas and knowledge on how to go about making my car a truly great vehicle

langsta · Nov 24, 2009

I don't know if this has been answered anywhere but will becoming a site supporter remove the advertisements? May serve as an additional incentive to become a supporter. Just a thought.

I can verify that it does not remove the advertisements. I just ignore them anyway which I'm sure DMAG will be thrilled to hear:icon_rolleyes:
