I'd also like to know how the subscriptions are supposed to work. I followed the directions in the settings using for example 10|6 which you'd think would mean subscribe for 6 months at ?10 per month, but what is actually happening is people are subscribing and paying ?10 every 6 months. How would I set it up so they pay ?10 per month for 6 months?

Thanks

I would understand that formula you are using as $10 / 6 months.
Why not change it to $60 / 6 months? or smaller?

Because often people want to donate monthly and not have a big chunk paid out.

Tried to change a setting in it and it says permission denied now. Tried uninstalling it then reinstalling it, nothing. Uninstalling it till there is a fix for it.

Much appreciated. Installed and marked

This looks arther good.

I'd love to see a CMS Widget or Forum Block version of the Donation Bar though.

I think that would be very handy!

Thank you for this mod. It's working great over here. I've only one question. The users who donate an amount for examples six months, they will get an additional user group. After the six months they still on that user group. Is there an possibility that they automaticly remove the additional user group?

I've only just become aware that this is what actually happening - not sure if it's a mistake in the phrasing or the code but its deffinately very missleading.

Can you add the option to pay monthly for X months please? I know my users are reluctant to sign up for an open-ended system.

Is there any plan to intergrate with the PayPal API so it's not neccessary to have PMs going to users after navigating to PayPal? - A long shot I know but I thought I'd ask.

Great mod, much better then the default vbulletin subscription system. Many thanks.

I'm looking for a donation system that admin can set every user on the site can have a donation link to their profiles so they can get donnations.
