I got none of that. I installed it properly. Seemed very easy if all I had to do was follow the instructions given. But I honestly don't have either of those things. I just see the donate option on my navbar.

Well I got it by adding my usergroup to the list able to see donation and adding donations page to quicklinks. Thanks.

stupid question, but are you ever going to have this work with CMS also?

just noticed a ton of Paypal donate stuff, but nothing really for use on CMS and forums...

thanks for any insight on this...

You should add an option to send out an email to certain user groups when the system is used, instead of only having an option for PM. If you're busy, I would be more than happy to implement this feature and send the code your way. Shoot me a PM if you're interested.

Clicked on Donate, sent a dollar, and it returned me to a page with a lot of smilies and nothing was entered in the Donator list. Any ideas?

Edit: VB 4.1.1

[garfieldH]

From briefly looking at the .xml file, it seems it doesn't display the unconfirmed donations at all. I wish I had an older version of this to look at and compare, but I think that part was taken out of this for some odd reason.

Edit: Seems to be restricted to group 6 for doing any administrative things. I changed all the references to group 6 to my group and I can't see unconfirmed donations. I can see the total increase, but that's it. Quite odd.
