Marty,
I have the same issue. I just checked my junk mail and found my receipt. But there is nothing there that mentions how to get the certificate.

OK Mine was a link in the receipt. I see Rich previously posted this link after the folks at Crowdstack changed the procedure.
I think 300 is pretty pathetic. Just ask the people that have had their problems solved; $12 wouldn't even get their problem to a tech
, and that is just one example of the benefits of this forum.

While I hope folks realize the overwhelming benefits of this forum and it's worth and consider supporting it, it's hard to say what people's situation is especially during the last few months. I agree though, I hope more that are able will become supporting members.
Marty,
We're talking 300 out of 25,000. I realize there are people struggling, and have great sympathy towards them. But I'm sure there are more than 300 on this forum that are comfortably retired or not monetarily affected by this pandemic. I don't think it is a hobby of the 22 million that lost their jobs, or the countless others that live paycheck to paycheck. Of course, this is just my opinion, and I hope I offend some enough to send in the $12.
I think I might be 300'.. I didn't realize it is only a One Dollar per month... Not a problem.. But those that cannot afford another expense, I understand completely. I would say though, I always see plenty of guests... that enjoy this forum. It would be helpful if they joined and contributed in supporting the forum they enjoy'...

John;
That 25,000 figure is really very misleading... what we really have to consider is 300 out of how many “active” members. Every so often, I find myself in an old thread and see a lot of avatars/screen names I don’t recognize, so I take a look at there profile (I’ll have to see if Crowdstack changed that too!!!) - often I find individuals who haven’t visited in over 5 years, but they are still in that 25,000 number.
That being said, I really hope that many more of the “active” and even regular visitors will consider becoming Supporting Members. I’m sure they have already received (and will continue to) more than $12 of value from being here.
Oh well must of delegated the receipt if it when to junk mail. Any way a certificate would of been nice, but helping the OG Forum and saying thank you is what really counts. Love the forum as I am on in several times a day.
Thanks RonH
I figure I get my money’s worth from Stan2004 and Gunrunnerjohn’s posts alone,
, plus all the others that have helped me out tremendously. Thanks to you all, and that includes the eyes behind the screen that make this all possible.
Could you add PayPal to the list of payment methods?
That was asked earlier and the answer was no. Fees....
Do you get a fancy certificate?
I had trouble getting my certificate. I got it by clicking on the link in my receipt that I found in my junk mail. I had to log on but was not successful. It said my e-mail address did not exist, even though I have been a customer (subscriber) for 25 years. So I entered my name and address and then I got my e-mail receipt. I clicked on "certificate" and it was there. Weird but this was the process for me. I clicked on it and downloaded as a PDF.
OGRR, take note, why make it so complicated?
Iron Horse, I'm sorry you had a problem, but I can assure you that the process is very simple. It's just two clicks for most people.
The fact that the email went to your junk mail folder is where the problem started for you. You were not properly registered or logged in. It could have been a cookie problem in your browser.
The bottom line? You got your certificate and we thank you for becoming a supporting member! Now go get a frame for that certificate! 
@trainser15 posted:Could you add PayPal to the list of payment methods?
In a word, no. The Crowdstack Pay software does not support using PayPal.
I hear you, Rich. Just like the vast tips from the pros that are here, I am just trying to save my O gauge brothers time if they run into the same issue I did. The real benefit of this forum is to make life easier and to help our friends navigate the O gauge world. I am looking forward to framing that puppy!
I received a receipt. Not sure what link to click on to retrieve the certificate?...?
?
There are several links. I tried all of them. 3 of them bring back to the forum. The rest take you to Crowdstack... No mention or indication of a certificate'???
@Rich Melvin posted:You can download your special certificate HERE.
Thanks for coming on board, Chris!
If you click on the link in this post, you can add it to a cart for $0. If you have an issue with the log in, just enter your name and address and it will send the link to create your certificate. That's how I got it.
C'mon folks....please become a supporting member. The cost works out to a dollar a month!
All this help we get will STILL COST practically peanuts. Don't you realize that editing/monitoring the OGR Forum takes more work time for OUR HOSTS. And it's quickly graying the hair of these hosts!
I just coupled on.
