Maybe a different color to the font of their handle, maybe a gold star, or a mini American flag icon next to your name. Maybe different colors for different levels of monthly donation amounts. Platinum stars for those giving over a hundred?

I believe that if the monthlies were easily identified, more people would proudly participate that way.

I really like that idea. I think it would increase donations too.

Is that something that could be implemented fairly easily and inexpensively, JR? I mean like "bare bones" cheap - stars, dollar signs, asterisks, etc.

The only problem with designating donations is the likelihood of judging others on their donations.

I think it could potentially cause problems.

Not everyone has the same ability to pay and someone with a $5/month donation might be making a bigger sacrifice than someone with a $20/month donation.

Don’t forget the widow’s mite.
