Please support the Forum by using the Amazon Link this Holiday Season

Amazon has started their Black Friday sales and there are some great deals to be had! As you shop this holiday season, please consider using the forum's Amazon.com link (listed in the menu as "Amazon Link") to add items to your cart and purchase them. The forum gets a small commission from every item sold.

Additionally, the forum gets a "bounty" for various offers at Amazon.com. For instance, if you sign up for a 30 day free trial of Amazon Prime, the forum will earn $3. Same if you buy a Prime membership for someone else as a gift! Trying out or purchasing an Audible membership will earn the forum a few bucks. And creating an Amazon Business account will send a $15 commission our way.

If you have an Amazon Echo, you need a free trial of Amazon Music!! We will earn $3 and it's free to you!

Your personal information is completely private, I only get a list of items that were ordered/shipped via the link, no names or locations or anything. This does not cost you anything extra and it helps offset the operating costs of this forum, which include our hosting fees and the yearly registration and licensing fees.

Stay safe and well and thank you for your participation in the Forum and for your support!! --Deborah

      • Not sure what you mean, nothing has been changed. First screen shot is from a computer, the second from a phone:

          • It used to be at the top of the page. Now this is what I have?

            • What browser are you using? Is it blocking ads or Amazon stuff or something? I see a gap between the Lions Links and the Donate link in your screenshot.

              • I'm using a chromebook with Ublock Origin, but I have been using it for a long time. I just noticed this when I was going to buy something on Amazon. Ublock must have done an upgrade.

                Thanks. I'll figure out a workaround.

                  • I updated our vBulletin software today from version 5.5.2 to 5.6.1. The upgrade had a few hiccups, so it took much longer than I had planned. Sorry for any inconvenience!

                    • Hey, everyone. As of the database update I just made, we now have emojis!! You can find them by opening the Advanced Editor (the button with the A) and then looking for the smilie face just before the Quote button. See the highlighted buttons in this screenshot.

                      I am debating on removing the Smilies we have been using. We'll see.

                      • As we only had one active thread in each of the Movie, Off Topic, and Politics forums, I have archived those forums or threads and moved the three active threads to the Lions forum. I hope this will encourage participation in those discussions. Please prefix off topic and politics thread appropriately (I have created a new Politics prefix).

                        • Note: I spent all morning moving the individual threads from the Off Topic and Movie forums to the Archives. After spending all that time, I realized I could have just moved the forums themselves. Ugh! So the Politics forum is archived in tact while the other two forums just have their threads in the Archive forum.

                              • I received a note from Amazon today. They are auditing our commission account for the first time ever. Sad that they think a site that is currently earning $10-30 a month is worthy of such a review but whatever. I've answered their questions honestly. I suspect they won't be happy with the lack of visual ads and they may cancel our account. We will need to decide where to go from there. Cross your fingers that it won't come to that.
