    Dear ISP Config Team, have not you thought to add the Donation/Support button somewhere at the main website?

    I think, there are lot of the control panel customers willing to support this sublime project.

    Even my experience:
    initially, i had found somewhere else the manual, but afterwards decided to pay for the book.

    I guess, many of us realize that supporting some perfect things, done in this world, should be carried out.

    I figured subscription was the least I could do in exchange for the fantastic panel. I'm incredibly thankful I found it.

    We had a donate button on the website in a prominent place but did not receive a single donation. That's why we decided at that time to offer the manual as a way to support the project and the howtoforge subscription for those that want to support us continuously, and this worked better for the project.

    In my humble opinion, Dear Master, this button should be returned, since the time goes by.

    Moreover, i believe that somewhere inside the Control panel would be useful to embed the Support/Donation function too in an unobtrusive way.

    Why not subscribe to this forum? That way project earns funds.

    Cool!
    It looks nice, but i have not known about the section "Subscribe" theretofore.
    You'd be better to outline it and animate slightly, for instance:
    Code:
    .navTab.forums.PopupClosed:last-child a {
       background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right top, from(#222), to(#222), color-stop(0.5, #fff));
       background: -moz-gradient(linear, left top, right top, from(#222), to(#222), color-stop(0.5, #fff));
       background: gradient(linear, left top, right top, from(#222), to(#222), color-stop(0.5, #fff));
       -webkit-background-size: 125px 100%;
       -moz-background-size: 125px 100%;
       background-size: 125px 100%;
       -webkit-background-clip: text;
       -moz-background-clip: text;
       background-clip: text;
       -webkit-animation-name: shimmer-forum;
       -moz-animation-name: shimmer-forum;
       animation-name: shimmer-forum;
       -webkit-animation-duration: 4s;
       -moz-animation-duration: 4s;
       animation-duration: 4s;
       -webkit-animation-iteration-count: infinite;
       -moz-animation-iteration-count: infinite;
       animation-iteration-count: infinite;
       background-repeat: no-repeat;
       background-position: 0 0;
       background-color: #222;
       color: #ffd632;
    }
    
    @-moz-keyframes shimmer-forum {
      0% {
        background-position: top left;
      }
      100% {
        background-position: top right;
      }
    }
    @-webkit-keyframes shimmer-forum {
      0% {
        background-position: top left;
      }
      100% {
        background-position: top right;
      }
    }
    @-o-keyframes shimmer-forum {
      0% {
        background-position: top left;
      }
      100% {
        background-position: top right;
      }
    }
    @keyframes shimmer-forum {
      0% {
        background-position: top left;
      }
      100% {
        background-position: top right;
      }
    }
    However, i still insist upon the embedding to the Control panel in an unobtrusive way.
    My thoughts on that:
    - i dislike when websites are flushed with an advertisement;
    - this concept, when we disable ads for you in exchange for your payment is out of my perception of the world;
    - "subscribe here" is an indirect way of the support.

    Dear customers, if you agree with me, please, vote!

    There is such a function in the ISPConfig dashboard for many years now, which is visible to the admin user after you install the panel. When you click on hide, this hides the panel for 12 months.

    Do you mean that one?
    ISPConfig - support.png

    Is it possible to output to the same row as the Main menu?
    or to somewhere else

    And to be able to change an amount?
    - Like, sometimes somebody prefers to send just 1000 ₩, but next time they would rather send €26.

    I'm sure many users would complain then :) But I really appreciate your efforts in helping us to improve the funding of the project :)

    That's why i initially mentioned to execute it unostentatiously
    The last one sample is the grotesque:):)

    Now it is offered to buy something - the handbook e-copy.
    But when people render assistance, they do not need something in return.
    IMHO, it's a different concept.

    Be that as it may, it is a great honour for me to converse with you even by correspondence.

    We tested both options in the past several times, and it worked way better for us to offer something in return.
