I’m a newer member and I don’t think Brian ever interacted with me on the forums. I have read a bunch of his replies to other members, so that it almost feels as if I knew the guy, as much as one can from forums. I definitely learned TONS from his replies on the forums.

When his wife died I wanted to send a memorial donation, but somehow the donation dedication option would not allow me to do it (or I could not figure out how to).

Is there a way to set up and donation drive in honor of them?

I am very thankful for his leadership and kindness and mentorship and wisdom offered.

Sincerely,

Chris

Ok I see where you can do a donation in honor of.

But there is a field where you can select various donation memorial “funds”; with various folks you can select from a drop down.

It appears as if the donation history options may be broken; as it did not recognize my email or give ability to reset password.

If we could get the drop down to permit a Brian Hill Memorial fund that’d be great.

I’ll see if I can figure out a method here on my end in the mean time.

Hello ChrisCQ,

Thank you for your kind words about Brian and his ability to help through his posts. I will create something like what you are requesting on the donation website. Once it is live, I will post on a sticky.

The donation website allows you to create an account if you want, and also check out without. I see password requests frequently, so I don't know what the problem is.

Regards, Chester

Thank you Chester,

Ok I think I cracked the code on the donations website. Something about it was not very intuitive to me, but was able to find the log on page to reset my password.

It did capture my donation from this year. I am pretty sure I did one a few years ago, but that's not in my history, maybe I selected some guest donor option.

Doesn't matter.

Thank you for considering a memorial fund drop down option or link or whatever you come up with for Brian.

I did end up in some configuration page for Word Press that said I was not authorized to "View Donor Information" in that Profile>Personal Options tab of the "Edit Profile" options from the top right of the screen.

I eventually figured out if I clicked on the link in the upper left hand corner of that screen it took me to the https://donate.oralcancerfoundation.org/ page with me still logged in to my profile. From there, once I was logged in I was able to click the Big Menu Link "Donor Dashboard", and Eureka that was where the data was.

Anway thank you for what you do for OCF in tending to all these things.

As I get older, I can tell, adapting to the zillion different forum formats and web based interactions is going to continue to get more challenging as things get more variation.

Peace, Out and THANK YOU again!
