I continue trying to register and it never works. I have completed all of the required fields, but still no go. Can you help me out?

I should post this in the other forums, too, but the problem is probably the password length. Apparently the system needs a password 7 characters in length. If you have a shorter password, it doesn't show the confirmation screen.

If you want to return the refund, then that's up to you. I just wanted to make sure I returned every cent that was paid in by subscribers since the magazine is now free.

so let's see where it leads. I believe the quality of the work you come out with deserves some beanies. Hope you'll get financial support from the readers, even slight so. Only a buck from 50 readers per issue makes it $50.
 
Donation Button...

Guys,

After some posts like this...

I wouldn't ask for a refund. You should at least have a Donate paypal button on your site.

That is a great point about the button. People should at least have a convenient option to put a few dollars in the pot if they want to. Hopefully advertising will make the magazine profitable but some don't like to get value without giving something back.Hu

Got my p/pal refund-uh-thanks. How do I send it back to you? Free costs something. The subscription price was more than fair.

Take my money---please.

Good luck with the magazine.

Take care....and go back to p/pal-and take my money, please. Other wise, I will spend it on 1/3 of a piece of chalk-that I will misplace or will get stolen.

I received my refund. My question is: Why? I signed up during the $10 bucks promo, and was delighted. The "mag" is wonderful, and totally worth the full $20 price tag. Josh

and some emails and PM's, I started to wonder if I was being a bit stubborn. It was my choice to make the magazine FREE, and I think this is the way to go. However after doing some research, I found a few other "FREE" mag sites that have a Donation button on their site, and they use that money to promote/produce their magazine as well.

I want to ask a serious question:

Will having the donation button on the site look cheesey, or like I'm going back on my word, or will it be a good thing to add, kind of like a "Tip Jar" where the proceeds are used for the magazine?

Thanks in advance for the advice!

Add the "Donate" button! People can contribute if they like the mag; doesn't mean you are going back on your word. Free is free, and gratuity is for a nice product or good service.

"Club Membership" style?

Do the Donation Feature on your site like here, at Az..
and, make a page listing "Club Members" in your magazine..

Then, make a Monthly Feature page titled "Member's Cue of the Month".
You do a drawing every month...
The member that wins, can have their favorite "Prized" cue featured in the next month's Issue with a short story.
Brings a more personal touch to the Magazine..

I will donate too. :smile:

I don't think it will look cheesy at all

Great job with the magazine. I don't think a donate button would look cheesy at all, well maybe if you made it round, yellow, and a huge pop up!

It annoys me when I want to donate to a site and have to hunt all over the place for a donate button or e-mail someone to get the information. The first time I wanted to donate to AZB I had to contact MikeH. Now a paid membership is an easy way to donate when I'm in the mood.

One more thing, a very Happy Easter to you and your family!

Reader Pictures Wanted!

READER PIC TIME!!!

Post a picture of you and your cue/case/other equipment. The best photo of the month will be posted in next month's issue!!!

Submit via pm, or HERE!
 
Password issues...

My apologies for not setting this up sooner, but we have added a flag next to the password field when you sign up saying that the password needs to be at least 7 characters long. This should fix the (only) issue with the sign up process I know about.

Thanks again for your support guys!

I like this! :thumbup:
 
Donation Button...

Just a heads up that the donation button has been implemented.

Thanks so much for the generosity of those that have already contributed, too! It is really appreciated, and 100% of the proceeds go to making the magazine even better.

Thanks again!
