And whoa! Somebody donated for me? Thanks a ton! What exactly are the benefits of donating, other than having it go towards the site and worthy charities, of course?

25. Hey canetoad,

I wouldn't say 'No' to a star, if somebody cares enough to pony up for the Charity Fund Drive. I had one until a week or two ago, but it's disappeared. I'm "economically embarrassed" at the moment. :hug: SG

[PJPhreak]

26. I would love one,But there are folk here that are hurtin more than I,

So if they got one and I don't it would make me just as happy! Thanks!

[akbacchus_BC]

71. Please wait a moment for your star

[akbacchus_BC]

72. Hi GoCubsGo, I am trying to donate for you but after finding you

as a member, I am unable to find the page to donate. I will keep trying. Sorry about that. Meanwhile, in case anybody else donates for you, I will find a member without a star and donate for him/her.

Best regards

[Lisa0825]

73. Just click on the banner at the top of the page and then put his/her username in when you

enter your info. There is a place that asks if you want the star to go to someone else.

[akbacchus_BC]

74. Hi Lisa, I tried that and then I am returned to the same page that

I started out with. I am pretty sure I am doing something wrong. This is what I did:

Clicked on donate, clicked on donating to someone else, entered the user ID, clicked on find member and am right back where I started.

Thanks for trying to assist me.

[Lisa0825]

75. Does it send you back to the page that says this?...

It looks the same as the previous time but should show the new username where I put the ________.

I've been able to be on I seem to have lost mine. I'll have to save up alittle so I can donate again.

[akbacchus_BC]

82. Let me try to donate for you

[Lisa0825]

83. You are awesome!

:yourock:

[akbacchus_BC]

87. Lisa, thanks but this is so frustrating. I now figure out that the DUer name

has to appear in blue after I click on 'find member' but this is what I am getting for 1awake, but I will keep trying:

Click on a member:


To find a member, enter their username below and click the "Find Member" button. After you have selected the member you wish to receive the donor star, you will be returned back to the donate page. To go back and assign the donor star to yourself, click here.

You as well as many other DUers are awesome as well.

[Lisa0825]

89. After you hit find, it should show up as a blue link.

Then you click on that link, and you should go back to the donation page.

If it doesn't work, email [e-mail] and tell him who you wanted to star. It may take a few days, but they can do it manually.

:pals:

[akbacchus_BC]

90. Yes, am looking for the blue link, but it is not appearing. It took a

while for the previous DUer to show up blue. I even logged out and logged in again to donate for Iawake. Guess a lot of people are trying to donate but I will keep trying. Thank you so much for all your help. If all else fails, I will donate again in my name and send Skinner an email.

Lots of hugs and have a wonderful weekend.

[Lisa0825]

43. Yeah, was going to donate this week

But hubby just came home with a $5700 estimate for periodontal work. to save several teeth. Sigh.

On the bright side, I just found out that the Census Bureau here is still hiring - my application will go in tomorrow! But that will not start soon enough to pay for his teeth.

[tandot]

44. I don't need one but I'll K & R your thread :)

[Lisa0825]

45. Lots of star-less DUers here! Can anyone help?

I have bought several stars in the past 2 days. Can a few of you buy a couple too? :pals:

At the very least, keep this thread kicked and rec'd!

So I must be a freeper. But I still would like a star. 6 months unemployment preclude me from contributing. as much as I'd like to.

[juajen]

92. How nice of you. I believe I was gifted a couple of months ago.

I am so proud of DU when they come to the aid of fellow DUers who simply cannot afford to donate.

So, a big THANK YOU for being so generous. I wonder what the numbers say about the ability of DUers to donate now as opposed to a year or two years ago. This economy is really scary; but, I do think Obama is doing his best to turn it around and has enjoyed some success, even it is isn't easily discernible.

[Rosco T.]

93. I wouldn't mind one...

might be all I manage for Xmas this year :(

[arthritisR_US]

142. thank you!! :-)

:toast:

[Naturyl]

140. I don't need one but wouldn't mind.

I'm on SSI so there's no question of getting a star myself. In fact, I will be going to a food bank this month, most likely.

What I would like even more than a star is for the money to be donated to Oxfam, a food bank, or a charity helping poor people instead. Supporting DU is great and I encourage people to do so, but someone is going to do anything on my behalf, I'd prefer they contributed to a higher-priority cause.

[akbacchus_BC]

141. Hi, I cannot donate to the food bank in the US, so I'll donate for your star. Enjoy

[Naturyl]

150. Thanks, that is generous of you.

I hope to return the favor with some quality material, or at least something worth reading. :)

Thank you so very much for your kindness. I've just found out that an elderly, fixed income man that lives in my neighborhood is saving can's to turn in for the aluminum so now I have to go check with all my neighbors to see if they'll save them for him. Again thank you & may you have a great Xmas along with a wonderful New Year!

[Naturyl]

151. Yes it does.

I can't buy anything but I'm going to try to get down to the local shelter on Thanksgiving and see if they can use any help cleaning up, serving, or whatever. Every little bit does help.

[dems_rightnow]
