Aimoo provides free Forums but Owners may want to consider upgrading to a Diamond Forum which has the following additional advantages:
1) No advertisements 2) Photograph albums 3) Unlimited storage space 4) Upload images from your computer into a message 5) Group emails 6) Change the domain name of your Forum 7) Search Option (Display or Hide your Forum from Search Engines such as Aimoo, Google, Yahoo and MSN) 8) Showcase Priority 9) Faster Support Service (Diamond Help Forum or Email support-ticket@aimoo.com)
You can view the full Diamond Membership details here.
Many Forum Owners accept donations towards the cost of running a Diamond Forum and if this is the case, you will see a Donation button/icon, usually (but not always) at the top left of the page.
Owners and Members can donate in the same way.
Click on the Donation button/icon which may look like this although the Owner may have chosen a different icon.
The following screen will appear:
The minimum donation is $US3. Don't worry if you live outside of USA as your funding source (Bank, PayPal, etc.) will convert your payment for you.
The only two things you need to do is type in the amount you wish to donate and select your method of Payment.
Do not change the Contributor name as the payment needs to be accredited to your Aimoo ID. So if your ID is TwoBob and you change the Contributor to Robert, it could well be accredited to someone else who uses Robert as their Aimoo ID. If you wish to donate anonymously, remove your ID and leave it blank.
Once you have done that, click on Submit. The page for your method of payment will appear for you to complete your transaction.
Your payment will appear in the Forum's Diamond Accounting Log (not visible to members).
Some Owners and Super Administrators are under the impression that once they have made a donation, their Forum will automatically be upgraded to Diamond, but they need to do one more step to become a Diamond Forum.
When there are enough funds, the Owner or Super-Administrator should go into "Accounting".
Click the Renew/Upgrade button/bar as shown below.
Click the appropriate buttons to choose the period required and method of payment, ie "Pay by Donation".
Then click the button "Click to Pay".
Aimoo then takes the appropriate amount from the Donation Chest to pay for the Diamond Membership.
