    Remind me, how are we paying for this site?

    It just occurred to me that there are no ads and no place to donate. So, how do we pay for this site?

    Currently Dr. Hoch is paying for everything out of his own pocket, and has been for a couple of years now. Dan, David, and myself are working on getting a new paypal account for donations, along with other avenues for those who wish to donate. We are also looking at reviving the Cafe-Press store we have, and working on adds and sponsorship to help keep BT running long term.

    We are open to ideas, please email them to btsysop@gmail.com (we all have access to that email and it's automatically forwarded to our other email address as well) :)
    Question: Why can't I post links or pictures?
    Question: Why can't I have a signature, avatar, or profile picture?
    Question: What's wrong with my account?

    Answer: You are in the "registered users" user group. This group is very limited in what it can do. This will annoy spammers to no end Just keep posting once you have been registered for 30 days and have made 11 posts your account will be "unlocked".

    It's really easy to put someone on ignore and it's strongly recommended that you do so with people who's posts you don't like.

    Step 1 - log in
    Step 2 - click on the "settings" link
    Step 3 - click on the "edit ignore list" link on the left side of the screen
    Step 4 - type (or paste if you copied and pasted it) the username of the person you want to ignore
    Step 5 - click the "ok" button on the right of the screen

    Easy peasy and will lower your blood pressure. One important note though, this won't hide quoted posts. It's an oversight on the developers part and it's not an easy thing to "fix." So if someone quotes someone you have ignored, you'll see the quote.

    Alternatively when you click on a person's name and view their profile page, underneath their avatar, there is a option that says, "Ignore this person". Click that link and then click the yes button.

        Thank you

        Dr. Hoch for funding our therapy for the everyday physical and mental issues most of us are dealing with. Providing a place to exchange ideas, thoughts, emotions and to learn. A respite in the storm that is life for us.


        You're an :angel:

            Thanks Ann for thinking of this and thanks Dr. Hoch for the funding and Dan, David and Mike for keeping us going.

            I think paypal would be good. It is easy, and probably would be easy for you to set up your end.

              :) I am so grateful we have this board. Thank you Dr. Hoch, Dan, David and Mike for making this possible.

              Unfortunately I am not in a position financially to help. I hope those who can will.

              Thanks all of you again. Jeanie :)

                    You can help BrainTalk financially by signing up for iGive, a system that enables you to have a donation made to BrainTalk every time you buy something online from one of the participating merchants. There is a LONG list of participating stores.

                    It is not a difficult download and installation. Even I was able to get iGive going in a matter of minutes.

                    For those who would like to contribute, this is a way.
