I tried to donate using your Paypal link but it would never link me up solid to Paypal. I had to log in to Paypal on my own in order to donate. There is a problem somewhere as this happened several times.

Love this forum. But today, can only access through my phone. On my laptop, all I get is ads, no login prompt. Any advice? Want to post some pics with a question..,

I found that setting up a VPN seems to screw up the log in.

I don't have any solution, but for me the problem is the opposite: I can usually view the forum just fine on my laptop (MacBook running Firefox) but on the phone, all I see are ads. Occasionally it does work on the phone, although I haven't changed any settings or such, so I don't know what the issue is. Quality of Internet connection (signal strength and speed) seem to be a factor, but it's not consistent.

How's that for an unhelpful answer? :D

All replies are good! Have tried thru safari and chrome. Same google ads blocking. Not using VPN but do have one installed for work. It’s a MacBook, will try Firefox. Thanks all!

For what it's worth, I'm running Ad Block Plus with Firefox. On this page alone, it says it blocked 2 ads.

No clue where the donate tab is... but I'll find it eventually.

Just bought my 71 and I can't wait to work on it!

Awesome, and the donate banner is on the main page at the bottom of the top banner where it lists, "DONATE", "FAQ", and "The team". And some other choices if you are logged in.

Click on "Donate".

We are happy to contribute. This forum is fun, great info and cool to be a part of! Our 1973 124 rebuild project was way easier to achieve with the information found in here. Every step of the way, we had the info we needed at our Tinger Fips. Thank you fiat Spider world!

Thanks.
Todd in Canada.

Done and thanks. Glad to support the best place for all things Spider. I don’t post very often but use the search feature a lot and can always find great answers to any questions or problems to keep my ‘82 running.

Another unsolicited or unpaid reminiscence of the multitude of times I have researched and learned so much from this Forum. The site is invaluable to me in keeping my 83 up and running. Donated a small token again today.

How do you feel about this site?

To all of you that have supported this site through donations - THANK YOU! It takes a lot to keep a site going for 27 years and I could not do it without the support from donations and Vick Autosports, our sponsor. I've been having some technical difficulties with the site this past week and in fact I'm on hold with the hosting company as a write this message. I'll work to get it cleared up asap. Again, the donations are critical to keeping this thing going. Thank you!
