There is an issue not quite understand regarding these forums Subsim, and I dare to ask in this same thread as we speak in an atmosphere of warmth and camaraderie all. I've noticed that my avatar is constantly changing, I have seen at least 6 or 7 different from that frequent the forum. I do not know if the reason is a joke that makes the new members, or originates in the arguments I presented in my publications. I've noticed that other members always have the same avatar and even some sample your own photograph. This has to do with money donations make the forum, or the question of what in my country call "derecho de piso", ie it must be a certain age in the environment in order to have avatars something more serious and consistent with a person of my age?

Your avatar is based on your post count. As you get more posts, your avatar changes. Beware, there are a few (somewhat) humorous ones you will encounter.

If you make a donation to Subsim, you earn the ability to choose your own avatar.

Your avatar will change with your Subsim rank. Look near the avatar and it will show some sort of rank. It changes as you post. When you donate, you can set your own avatar and name your own rank if you want.

And when you get a certain amount of posts it seems your avatar no longer changes and you fondly remember the times when you'd discover your new avatar and laugh.

Right. I understood the mechanics of the avatars in the forum. I would like to make a donation but I have no credit card, and not as may from Argentina to send you the dollars. Our country has set a trap to the US dollar, and to buy must be a very difficult to obtain authorization. And report this to the moderator who wrote me a message asking for a donation, and hoped that someone from Subsim make me any suggestions on how to resolve this issue.

Send a Private Message to Neal Stevens, the owner of Subsim. He can help you figure out what to do. If you don't hear from him within a few days, let me know. I can help you contact him if necessary.

Thanks Steve. They say you can donate money without credit card through PayPal. There PayPal in Argentina, but to open an account require me to have a credit card. I have no credit card, always use a debit card or cash.

Paypal seems to be happy with just a link to your bank account that they can use to get their money when you make a purchase.

At Paypal's website #2 says: "Securely link your bank accounts, debit cards, and credit cards" .... so, they appear to be satisfied without a 'real' Visa, they just want access to your account.
https://www.paypal.com/home

When I use Paypal they debit my bank account directly within a day for the $$. I don't have any credit cards linked to my Paypal. (maybe I slipped through the cracks?)

Good luck.
