Is there any way to choose who can see your post? For example, our pictures are only viewed by forum members, can we make regular posts do the same? If not... i would suggest adding this!

No, Viv, anyone can read posts.  It may be technically possible to do what you propose, but I think doing so would severely damage our ability to attract new members and the site would slowly die.  How could we attract anyone, outside of word of mouth, if they couldn't see the value in what we do and have here?  We don't have funds to advertise.

True, Thanks for letting me know! May I ask how much on average per year, it takes to run this forum?

I honestly don't know the answer, Viv.  The site owner pays the bills and does get some donations.  It's not a huge amount of money - most of the cost is for the server and for the company which provides the operating system.  They pay the staff peanuts; literally.  I prefer salted and in-the-shell myself.  ?

SAME, salted bbq ones are my fave.

If there was any possible way to donate I would love to someday, this website has helped me alot! I feel like i should give back somewhat haha. I follow the reddit trans forum page & it's wild how many people are on that compared to this, I honestly feel like this forum deserves more recognition than it gets, But i also like the calmness of this forum where we'd be able to recognize each other and there's less noise.

There is a donation link on the home page.  Whatever and whenever anyone can donate, it is more than appreciated.  We are not a registered charitable (501c3) organization, however.

How did i miss that!? Thank you  the funds go to this website right? I'm assuming that's what you meant by not being registered as a charity.

I like peanuts but don't eat them very often because when I eat peanuts I consume a large amount of calories very fast.

Thank you  I checked to see the payment options and it directed me to paypal, I actually have a thing against paypal, they bankrupted my bank account in 2017 over a 30$ debt which was split into three different payments. i lost over 500$ because of them, and then when i contacted them, they said i still haven't paid it... Like -what the heck-? lol So I have no access to paypal and I'm definitely not up to making an paypal account. When i have the funds to donate I'll contact an administrator and figure out another way to donate. ❤️

Thank you for your willingness to help.  Petra Jane would be the one to contact for information as how to contribute to the site expenses.

I had similar concerns when I realized everything I saw and posted on the open forum was visible to non-Members.  But I also realized that I probably would not have found this Forum without that feature. 
So, I think I can live with that.  I was careful to go back and sanitize my profile info and there have been a few times I have had to catch myself before I typed something in (... too much info?)

Just be careful.  Started using PM more, but even with that, when something goes out on the internet you have to assume it could always be accessed or re-sent by other parties.
 

.. and I like peanuts too ?
