I would like to donate to FAAAS, but can't spare the money. Is there anything else that I can do?
We have set up a couple of options for generating funding other than donations:
Goodsearch:
Search engines make most of their money from companies that pay an
advertising fee when users click on links during a search. GoodSearch has developed a patent-pending way to track and direct
these search-generated proceeds to charities. In other words, a portion
of advertiser dollars (and not your own!) earned as a result of your
search, are now passed along to the organization you've chosen to
support. Each individual search returns 1 cent to FAAAS. Over time and if enough people use
the search engine, it has the potential to generate a fair amount of
money.
1. Go to http://www.goodsearch.com2. In the lower text box, search for and select FAAAS as the charitable organization. 3. Do any search through GoodSearch
On the FAAAS website we have a section listing books that we recommend. The links to purchase the books go to Amazon.com. If you pmake a purchase on Amazon.com by following one of the links, then Amazon will donate a portion of the sale to FAAAS:

I have sent several emails to FAAAS and no-one has every gotten back to me!
If a single message has not been replied to, it could simply be that it was lost in our mailboxes! At FAAAS, we receive sometimes hundreds of messages a day (including spam messages). Sorting through all of that on a daily basis can be quite a challenge and sometimes a few messages have been known to get lost. We apologize for that! Please know that we try to respond to every email as soon as possible.
However, if multiple messages have not been replied to, then there are two possibilities for you to investigate:
1. Your mail program is filtering out messages from FAAAS as spam.
Check the documentation that came along with your email program, or the website of the company that creates it for further information on how to keep FAAAS emails from being flagged as spam.
2. Your internet service provider is tagging our messages as spam so that they never get to your email program. (AOL is notorious for this)
The best way to check to see if this is the case is for you to send us a message using an alternate email address, preferrably with another ISP. Go to Yahoo or Hotmail and set up a free email account with one of them.

I need to pay the $9 fee to join the FAAAS Bulletin Board. How much is that as £ sterling?
We use Paypal to process the subscription requests. Paypal is used by millions of people each day to make payments on merchandise and services worldwide. When you make your payment of $9.95 in US Dollars, it should automatically charge you the equivalent exchange value in your currency.

How do I change my bulletin board password?
When you go to log in to the bulletin board, under the area for your Username and Password, there is a link that say "I forgot my password!" Click on that link and you will be prompted for your email address (the one that you used to register for the bulletin board) and your username. The system will then send you a new random password to your registered address. The last step is to then check your email for instructions on how to complete the password change procedure.

I have subscribed to the bulletin board and paid the dues, now how do I get to the Bulletin Board?
To access the Bulletin Board, click the "Login" link that appears at the top of every page at the FAAAS website, or go directly to the following web page:
Bulletin Board Login On this page, there will be a login box requesting a username and a password. When you filled out the original subscription request, you were asked to pick both a username and password. These are the ones that this web page is requesting.
If you have forgotten your password, use the forgotten password link below the login.

My subscription to the Bulletin Board has been activated, but I can't log in. What's wrong?
There are everal things to try:
1. It is possible that you are using an older version of your web browser If so, you might want to update it to the newest version.
2. In the browser settings, be sure that javascript is enabled, and that session cookies are allowed for the faaas website: "http://www.faaas.org"
3. Be sure that you are using the correct username and that you are using the correct case on each letter when you enter them. (Ex: "Username" does not equal "username")
4. Go through the lost password link under the login box to be sure that your password is correct and that you are entering the correct case for each letter.
5. Try to download another web browser and attempt to login through that. We recommend Firefox, which can be found here:
