    Don't Be Like Me - Donate!

    For some reason I never get a reminder from the administrators, and it's not until I realize the star has disappeared from my profile that I remember to donate again. I may be months behind Don't be like me. Remember to donate to PE.

    The system has been configured to send these notifications automatically.

    Two years ago we learned that those reminders have been unreliable (or that members' email addresses had changed and their PE profile records were out of date)- so we started PMing people when their reminders were due. But that way most people received 2 reminders, and the last thing we wanted was to look like we were nagging or begging!

    I'll re-institute the reminder-PMs, and will ask everyone to please forgive us if you get 2 reminders.
    Regards,

    Duncan

    Another thing:

    Most donations automatically assign the star - but some don't. (It depends on the exact mechanism you use to make the donation.) So I go through the system manually about every 2 weeks or so to make sure that all stars have been correctly assigned - and if they haven't (such as Hugues and Carl in this last go-around) - I assign them manually.

    But PLEASE - if you see that your star has not been correctly assigned to your profile, let me know that I've missed it - and I promise to fix it PDQ!
    Regards,

    Duncan

    Duncan, our own STARGAZER!

    Slightly OT: has it been discussed before to raise the donation-level, so a part of the donation can be given to musicians who suffer from illness or other misfortune?
    There are some threads about some of these musicians and I wonder if a construction like this might work better.
    Just a thought. I realize the realisation of such a plan isn't easy.
