We probably should have created this function long ago, but somehow we never got around to it. We now have a Donor Status function, where you can keep track of your donations to Democratic Underground, and find out when your donor status expires.
To check your donor status, click the "Options" icon at the top of any page. It looks like this:

Options Then click the link that says "Donor status".
Or you can just
click here.
IMPORTANT: We try hard to keep our records as accurate as possible, but we expect there will likely be some errors. If you think any of the information on your donor status page is incorrect, please send an email to
[email protected] (that's me). Please include as much information as possible so we can remedy the problem. (Note that the "Donation History" section of the page only shows donations made since January 1, 2008.)
Donors don't see most ads on DU. I mentioned
http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Skinner/234">earlier this year that we have been experimenting with some new, more prominent ad placements. One of the benefits of donating is that you don't have to look at the ads. So if you are a donor, we want to be sure that your donor status is up to date before we start running the new ads.
If you sent us a donation in the mail in the last few weeks, it probably will not appear on your donation history. I apologize, I have a stack of unopened mail here on my desk. I am going to try to get to it later today so you can get credit for your donations. You should get an automated private message to let you know it has been received.
And, of course, if you would like to donate, just click this link:
