I'll admit, I bought the pro version of this and the payment system to go with it, money I've since recovered three times over in two days. First, I have nothing to do with the "awjunkies" group, other than I use their products and I'm one happy customer. I'm also editing their templates to encourage more donations as you can see here: http://www.shotcritic.com/forums/don...hp?do=donation
This url actually shows $128 in two days,

My point is, you're shooting yourself in your foot if you think that the donation status bar hurts your site. Heck, I can't wait for the vBadvanced module to show it on the front of the site. I don't have the donation bar on the front because I don't use the standard navbar on the front of my site and I'm no programmer or coder, just some photographer and author who thinks he's a designer and webmaster and sometimes HTML and messing with this coding stuff makes me dangerous, but dora likes it (grin).

Just some advice, use the bar, it's a great marketing asset to this system, all the best, rg sends!

I don't mind the progress bar showing per se
but, its the showing of " 62 of goal reached " or 350 of 500 donated
once 500 is reached , no one will "donate" any more thinking that they have no need to

This is why I am thinking of removing some of that area.

I have read around and found the way to remove the xxx of xxx amount and the xx% has been reached
the progress bar is still there

Thanks alot !!!
