I'll try it later on my another forum.

I would be happy to PM you with an Admin link to my forum if you need it. This mod broke several 4.0x updates ago...perhaps even as early as 4.0. Donations can be made, but no user group changes are processed and no logging / recording is done.

A warning (and not the creators fault).

Paypal are locking down on the word "donation". God knows why.....

I have had my account suspended as, in their opinion, I am portraying myself as a charity by using the word "donate". Frustrating... might be worth using another word to save the hassles.

Are you sure that options are set correctly?

Ensure that you have added your VIP/Donator groupID to proper setting field, and also that you have enabled PM alerts.

Hi there - not sure if I am being silly, but I cannot get the donation bar to appear where I want it to?

Whats the vb raw tag to pull the donation bar into the position of my choice. I tried using the tag I assumed vsa_paypal_donbar and it didn't work.

I want it below my forum stats rather than at the top of the page.

Cheers.

Yes all settings are correct and unchanged since it was first installed. Do you think an uninstall and reinstall might fix it?? Are there any potential issues with doing this?

[Valter]

If you wish to try with reinstall first backup donation logs. Table 'vsa_ppdonate' contains these. You may also want to save product settings before uninstall, such as donate amounts, or your custom phrases.

how do i reset the counter for donations? I reached my goal, but now i want to restart it. I'm doing it yearly, even if i change it to weekly it's still reading like 200%

anything in the tables?

Is there anyway to make this into a sidebar or even just move the donation bar to somewhere else? I would prefer a sidebar block for it if at all possible, but I'd be happy for now just knowing how to move it from the top to say the footer.
