For users who donate
I'm a user who has donated to the continuing development of the program, via PayPal...but when starting the program, I'm still asked to donate. Perhaps a new 'start page' with the 'donate area' clear.

What's different about the doner version?

There are a number of areas you could 'water down' in the free version, but keep in the donated version. When wiping magnetic media there are now 11 options, perhaps the free option could have just 3..There are 8 media types (a little over the top), perhaps keep all, in the donated version, but remove the less used for the free version
I just think, to encourage users to donate, you have to give them a little extra...it is still their choice, and they can still fully use the functions of the program..but would get a little more (not functions, just options), if they donate.
You see, I really love the program (and reviews I've read just add to my affection :-)), and would really hate to see it's development cease because of lack of donations...I've also recommended it to all my friends, and have also recommended them to donate...when I see them them I shall enquire into whether they have. -

Bryan,
that's a very good suggestion for our donors version. -

Message to Admin,
Many thanks, although it's just a personal thing. I donated because I felt I would like to support the program, not because I wanted anything extra (anyway, there's nothing extra to want). I was totally surprised to see how few had made donations, considering the amount of users there are. Perhaps, when you release Shellbag Analyzer & Cleaner out of the beta trail, implement it into PrivaZer for users who have donated. That way, you will still keep both programs free, with all functions, but also encourage users to donate because they will receive a little extra.
Just a thought -

We will remove the donate button in the donors version.

Sorry to say, you're wrong in your suggestion I didn't donate...there are a few users of 'free' software who appreciate and understand the work that goes into software development. Not being 'gifted' in that direction, I do think it's important to show support to those who are...
It could be, that the program could have a drop down menu, where information could be added..that would remove reference to 'donations'.
As to your use of the 'F' word...it just demonstrates how limited you are in expressing yourself, that you have to resort to using those kind of words...it just goes to show, there is a life form below civilized human beings, and, if you wish to leave comments - the least you could do is check your spelling, grammar and punctuations..!! Leaving comments on websites that are correct in these areas, will imply you have something in your skull other than a void (space), rather than conform suspicions of your stupidly... -

I dont think thats really necessary, that would need extra an online check with some "user login" or authentication, it would make the whole privazer fucked up. Think also about the portable version of it, how would it know you donated without an online check?
I dont think this is needet, if it really bugs you so much, maybe they can implement a option in the settings to disable donation information, but i would say thats pretty rude if you think about that this program is free. Let it show, its not really disturbing. I dont really believe you donated anyway.

Sorry, slight slip up...the page that shows the donation request is the page that is shown, when the program is 'doing it's thing'
