Additional cost for the upgrade to our new forum

[DaveM]

Well some of the members indicated that they would like to chip in financially for the upgrade to our new forum. Well we are looking at a few additional costs that I did not think about initially and they are as follows.

We have commissioned a theme guru to make up a new theme that will be close to our original TriumphTalk theme the cost here is $65 US. I am negotiating with him to get a bit of a reduction on this.

I would also possibly like to upgrade our photo gallery to the enhanced version and this would cost $50 US.

So if you would like to contribute towards any of these costs send me a PM :y18:

I mean this in a COMPLIMENTARY way....not to be a party pooper at all:

Do you really think that's necessary? I actually like the look and feel of the new board and the gallery seems to be (without seeing what the upgraded version looks like) sufficiently nice too.

I switched themes to the "Definition" theme and love it!
