So how are these donations monitored so that a Manager knows how much has been donated and how much is need to meet the required fee? And what if the donations exceed the normal annual fee required to be a diamond community. How is all that accounted for?
If you have a Diamond Community ... there is an accounting in your Control Panel. Donations that exceed your membership fee, will be saved and deducted when you renew your Diamond membership.
We are in the process of collecting donations. At what point do we have decide which fee structure we want to go with?
Are pageviews based on a "monthly" amount, or do they just accumlate over the course of the year until you reach the limit?
For instance.......if we go with structure B, which says:
Structure B (more Pageviews) $5 per month (40,000 pageviews + 200M hard disk storage space)
The total of pageviews is 530,00. So, does that mean we can't go over 40,000 pageviews each month? Or....some months we can have less, some months more........as long as we don't go over the total of 530,000 during the course of the year?
Pageviews are deducted from the total amount allotted within the time period you chose.
If you choose structure B, you will get one year to use the 530,000 + the extra 50,000 = 580,000 pageviews. Please be advised that left over pageviews do not roll over, so after your one year is up ... you will have to renew your Diamond status.
If I did the membership for 6 months for 30 dollars would it be 30 dollars every 6 months..?? Also how do you know how many pageviews you use? And Hard disk space is that the whole thing, or if you upload images from diamonds..can you example to me the difference I am dyslexic and I partishly don't understand the terms that are given when making a choices between A & B structures Thank you I look forward to hearing your statement Hugs kitty
Yes, if you did the $30 for 6 months, you will need to renew your diamond community again in 6 months, IF you don't go over your allotted pageviews before then.
Structure A gives you more hard drive space, Structure B gives you more pageviews.
To check how many pageviews you've used, and your balance ... go to >
My Control Panel > Manage Forum > Manage > Diamond Programs > Accounting
Ok thank you, I got another dumb question to ask you I went to my control panel> manage form etc to the diamond program accounting, at the moment it says zero on everything, so when you pay for community service is that when it starts your pageviews..or hard drive space ??
I havent update yet I figure I ask ??'s first and get the knowledge before I do anything else..I thinking of trying a 6 month trail base to see ..before I do a yearly or anything else, but at the moment I want questions answer first before I make a full decision and I also need to speak to my husband whom is my silent partner..we pay our bills together and manage our money together it not 60 -40 it equal all the way around our marriage, and so I want to find out what I need to know so I could explain it to him as well as see which way I want to go at it..for I really would love to go back to no ads on my group..just wasn't sure which way to do it..So I through I ask, and get other ppl option that why I came here to learn ..Hugs Kitty and I thank you for answering my questions and helping me along the way, this group is a great source to have, something to fall back onto as I learn aimoos ways now then msn ways ...Hugs Kitty And I like aimoos better then msn lol they have more fuctions to do..
Oh also if I do a 6 month trail and lets say it works and I want to go to a yearly can I switch..to upgrade higher proformance..at the end of a 6 months???
As of this morning, we have enough donations to upgrade to Diamond. My question is.......how do we do that? I've looked all over the management features and can't find a place to do it. The accounting part shows the money, who donated, etc., but no place to apply the money to upgrade.
