If there aren't 11ty billion then there aren't enough.

Wayne, you have too much time on your hands, you need more switches, you really need a pet... ROFL

FedEx him something furry and jumpy.

For some time I kept the ammount donated to the mod on the first post, maybe that could happen some day. Didn't seem to offend anyone.

Except vb.org has no way of keeping track of how much a user has donated. You are sent to the paypal site to finalize any payment and it isn't communicated back to here.

Yeah not sure how that works. Also it would be one more thing for new vb mod makers to feel bad about, having 0 donations and 2 star ratings.

By adding the IPN. Paypal has a function included. the various paypal donate hacks on vb.org use it.

I think that's probably different. In that case, the site owner and account owner are one and the same. In this case, all the paypal accounts are owned by people other than the site owner. That's just a guess though since I don't know the hack.

I think this would be a good idea, if you could opt-out when making the donation.

This can be done and I can do it. I have already done it with my software and site. The mods area is still beta though on my site so you can't see it. But YES this can be done and have opted out and so on. Also store limited info from transactions to keep things private as in not storing any transaction details except username,time,amount.

Again can customize or set it up many ways but yes can be done it is only if vB wants to do it as it can be done. I am always available if they want me :)

Also can support more then just paypal. Can do authorize.net, google checkout, alertpay, moneybookers. Any as many more that you want to add
