I know people don't like stickies that much but maybe this thread should be made one just for the next few days so we can watch the progress on the sheeppie thermometer and also so we can get updates on the progress of the situation.

Good idea

stickified for a few days.

I can also report that the Bank Account is on the runway - take-off any day now - and those awaiting details can expect to hear before the week is out. I should also be able to report to ekendrick on the first funds transferred thereinto.

Out of interest, did you make the bank account so that we can write cheques to "Save the YakYak Forums Fund" or somesuch?

Thanks for the update Eric. Been away a few times recently so one tends to lose track after a bit, iz all. There were a number of threads re the same subject area which muddied thigns a little, too.

Sadly, no. It would have been nice but it would have meant it was a business acount, rather than a personal account, and the implications are similar to the fun & games I had/am having with the PayPal account

I (briefly) considered changing my name by Deed Poll to Save the YakYak Forums but Liz wasn't happy with the idea of being Mrs YakYak Forums

*X-posted from 2nd post in thread*

The Bank account is now up and running - details will be PM'd to anyone who can make direct bank transfers, which is the easiest and cheapest way of collecting the money.

Alternatively, I will happily accept UK Bank cheques by snail mail - PM'd on request.

I have set up a PayPal account - once again, details will be PM'd on request - but there is a 4% overhead on using this, but we have little choice for overseas contributors.

The account is yakyak@elizian.fsnet.co.uk

I think ekendrick is having some technical difficulties in updating the Llamapledge page so I am posting here to inform you that the current account balance is a staggering Â£345, with Â£70 pending in a PayPal account.

Just seen this post! Did I do this yet, Eric? Should I do it again, just in case?

Will sort it at the weekend.

Elizian, now you know why I didn't want to send a cheque in the first place

Monday: "I'll send it tomorrow!" *forgets*
Tuesday: "I'll send it tomorrow!" *forgets*
Wednesday: "I'll send it tomorrow!" *forgets*
Thursday: "I'll send it tomorrow!" *forgets*
Friday: "I'll send it tomorrow!" *forgets*
Saturday: "I'll send it tomorrow!" *forgets*

Etc.

It's on the way, anyway. Should arrive tomorrow
