Thanks, i've been hacking around with it in another template i created so no problem breaking anything as i can just delete it! anyway i kinda got that far, one thing i am trying to do now is just add the username to subject line to paypal i can keep track of donations that way as i may not recognise the email and searching for user by email is a pig or at least it was in 3.5.1. Here's what i have but can't get it to display the username:
located in the ad_header_logo (3.7.1 PL1)
