Unable to donate ( not a valid macroquest2.com forum name)

All forums need a place for all the posts for people in the community to rant about things not relating to what the forum is about. This is that forum.

Unable to donate ( not a valid macroquest2.com forum name)

Post by Martell » Sat Jan 14, 2006 4:42 pm

I am currently unable to utilize the innovative little program that allows you to donate to the dev's. It just states that my user name "Martell" is not a valid forum name.

I just reregistered today after a long abscence. Is there a time delay between registration to the site, and the ability to donate?

Color me ignorant, but I thought I MIGHT be able to donate after posting something, so the purpose of this post is two-fold really.
(I will try again after this post.)

We just changed databases and the autovip script was not fixed for a day or two. If you donated through the autovip page and you are not vip, please send Lax a nice email.

I am still getting this message when I try to use the donate link on your site
Avari is not a valid macroquest2.com forum username.
So I have not gotten as far as donating anything yet. Will give it a day or two, since I registered earlier today.

Since the autosplit donation isn't working anyway, you can get to the donation page at http://www.macroquest2.com/main.php?u=d ... l&p=donate Make sure you put your forum name in the note with the donation.

When you try and make a donation to LAX by hitting the "Donate" button, you get an error message from Paypal. Error message says something about being unable to accept payments for this user.

Donate directly to one of the active dev's.

Lax is active, but I can't donate to him, correct?

So, who is left?

Any suggestions on who is "active" and can they grant me VIP status?

Tried to donate today and am getting the same error message. I tried the solutions above and it's still rejecting my forum name. Any ideas?
