However, not sure if it's set up properly because it seems a bit confusing to use how I have it setup.

When you go to my PayPal Donation's page, it appears that users have to click on the PayPal logo in order to be taken to PayPal. There's no instructions that the users needs to do that. Am I missing something here gang?

When going here --> http://www.9thsf-igc.com/forum/donate.php it looks so much easier to make a donation.

Thank you to all of you who made this hack happen for us 3.6.x users....

Clicking your link takes me to a message about not having donated in 1 month. You appear to have another hack integrated in the paypal hack. Also did you install the paypal easy donate? Something is not right unless you edited, installed another hack conflicting with it or you did not set it up in the admin CP. You must set your preferences in paypal donations through the admin CP.
1. You must make sure that you have either a Business or Premiere account with Paypal.
1. If you do not, then you will need to upgrade your Paypal account to that level before this system will work.
2. You must have Paypal's IPN (Instant Payment Notification) turned on in your Paypal Profile.
1. You do not need to have it pointing at any particular file for this system to work as the system will tell Paypal where to send the IPN to credit your users and notify you of the transaction.
3. You will need to run through the donations settings at the end of the installer and make sure that you have all the required information in there.
4. Please note that this system can be placed into test mode (default setting is ON when system is first installed).
1. This setting tells the system whether to speak with the real Paypal Server for transactions or with Paypal's Sandbox (testing) server. If you wish to test the system before going live you will need to have access to Paypal's Sandbox server, you can sign up for access there at: http://developer.paypal.com.
5. You will need to input your Paypal Account Email into the settings
6. You will need to input the full URL to your donate.php file so that your users can make it back to your site after payment
7. You will need to input the full URL to your ppverify.php file so that Paypal can send your IPNs to you and your system can process the information and give your users credit for the donation
8. You must create a goal(s), then create a button(s) and point your button(s) to the goal(s).
