A "like" feature would be a nice addition.

i am more than willing to donate some outfits also and or whateverelse i can do to help...just let me know!!!

I also have ZERO talents but participated in the Raffle last time by purchasing a gift certificate to one of the online stores.

If I remember correctly a lot of the vendors allowed for raffle type purchases (I think even YHR offered Cloud 9 Beds or people bought them as raffle gifts).

I hope Admin likes the suggestion and let us move forward with it.

Bumping to add that I can't make my donation until tomorrow...I forgot I don't have any credit cards yet since my Identity was stolen...they should be here today or tomorrow...

Also, don't forget there are some great benefits if you donate $25 or more but any amount I'm sure would be greatly appreciated!

[Ella08]

Donated!

I think a raffle would be a great idea!

[Charlies Mamma]

This is exactly why I love YT.
I just donated

[chattiesmom]

I just donated! Helping to keep YT alive and thriving is a FANTASTIC way to start the new year!

Love the idea of a raffle - count me in for both a raffle item and tickets!

[JMuedog]

WHooo! I love YT raffles! So much fun and all towards keeping YT up and running.

I like that I can go back to really old threads on YT and I am guaranteed to see the pictures that were posted.

Yes, as Maximo says, we made a decision long ago to store our own images on our server, even though it takes up a huge amount of space, especially now with over 370,000 images. We have seen many forums over time with threads with invalid pictures when the IMG tag is used because web sites go down, the links change, or some other reason. We have always believed it is more beneficial for our members and our community to always have that picture available (even though it may cause a bit more hassle). Members are still free to link to images hosted elsewhere in posts and threads.

Thank you for everyone's support! We are overwhelmed by the love and support for YorkieTalk! We are still processing payments and donations, we will try and get through the backlog this afternoon!

We may be able to hold a YorkieTalk Raffle in a few week's time as well, if there is enough interest and we can gather up some prizes. If you would like to donate a prize for the YorkieTalk Raffle, just PM us and we can add you to the list. We do ask that prizes be about $20 or so in "retail" value. Thank you!

Oh I love Raffles!!! PM'd the Admin and said I would donate a cool prize. I tell you what if Sophie Kate does not stop barking at every little thing out the window I may donate HER to the raffle (it has been a long day in the home office).

Oh great how fun! For those of you who can't make things, I recommend supporting one of Yorkietalk's Vendors, that's what I plan to do. Here's the vendors' list. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...ore-sites.html
