TR Forums

greetings:
I am trying to join TR and am finding it to
be very difficult for yours truly. My main
goal is to have a place to chat about hardware
and be a Patreon subscriber. I feel
like I have a new business after joining
Patreon. There has to be an easier way.
(squito) email address removed.

Join how?

And it's best not to publicize email addresses like that.

I thought joining a web site was still a thing. My goal here is to provide some support for what is left of our web. Patreon got me all confused. It happens easily Seems to me there are more roadblocks than open doors nowadays. Anyways, people like me need very simple but very specific instructions which I am not grasping. I just wanna help

Did you try the subscription page?

wow - that is exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you Meerkt.
Thank you just brew it

I cannot find the subscription area

When I am logged in and viewing the main TR page, on the right are two different items related to subscriptions.

First, there is a text block that is | USERNAME | Subscribe | Log out |

Clicking "Subscribe" takes me to the subscription page.

Second, there is a graphic block that has the text "Support TR! Subscribe now" with two subscription medallions to its right, and what looks like a chipmunk holding a "Subscribe!" flag to the right of that. Clicking on this also takes me to the subscription page.


On the subscription page, you have to scroll down a little. The first page and a half (1440p) or page (4k) is detailing the various tiers and rewards for subscription. Below that is a section titled "Subscribe" that allows you to pick an amount with radio buttons ($10, 25, 100, 250, and Custom) and an autorenew checkbox. Select the amount you wish to contribute, whether you want it to autorenew annually, and then click the "Contribute!" button.

This will pop up a box allowing you to enter credit card information, with a "Contribute! $##.##" button at the bottom that validates CC information and then pops up a window that says "Congratulations, you are now a TR subscriber.

Thanks for your support!" with a "Close" button.

That should pretty much do it.

Hi Squito and Welcome to TR.

Things have been a bit slow on the site but the forums are always active and helpful.

Its good to support TR financially! (I guess I am overdue to renew.)

There is lots to learn and no doubt you have ideas to offer.

You guys didn't let me down.
Thank you very much.

And now, with your new badge, it's time to post in more techy threads.

Indeed - thank you for your assistance
