UPDATE:
I got the IPN working. Paypal sends transactions to your server then the page reflects the information back. If all match then Paypal returns the word "VERIFIED". When the script sees this it adds all the information you could ever want (except phone #s) to the database. If they don't match, Paypal returns the word "INVALID". If the script sees this or any other number of suspicious activities, then it sends an email to the admin of the site, and places the information in a seperate table for admin to investigate.
The username issue will not be a problem as most of us use the email verification system native to VB to avoid spammers, so both the email from Paypal and the board *should* be the same, however, if not, then there will be a field for the username to be added.
I'm looking at the main page containing the donate links, the top ten donations (including member name if applicable), with the option to show total amount donated, along with another optional feature to show where the $$$ has gone to (I'm thinking that it will make the users more comfortable knowing where the $$$ is going, especially for non-profit sites like my own).
Is there anything else you guys would like me to add so I can drop it in my "ToDo" list?
