Maybe make it green when there is plenty of funds and red when you need to bring up the balance. Put it up next to all the other button under the Two Wheel Fix logo.

I'd go for this or as we discussed in another thread about pitching in money to upgrade the site to the new version.

But I don't think the idea needs forced when it's been stated that things are good the way things are now. Plus we get into too much and it ends up being more work on Trip's part.

Sure, except that it would be a fairly big initial outlay, with no guaranteed sales. That's the very reason why I used an on-demand printer for my book rather than a regular print shop, even though my profit might have been higher per book the other way.

We already have an on-demand shop, you guys just need to tell me what designs you want... It is even setup where you pick your ink color and then you have a ton of selections of shirt colors.

I would really like to thank Trip for not putting ads on here. THANK YOU!

As long as someone doesnt use my money for gay porn then I'm up for it.
