Thank you for your confirmation Valter, I shall look at the other mods that I have.

My Donation Bar is not reseting, I have it set to the default 27. Today is the 29th and still showing the previous donations. Any ideas?

[dustoff99]

Changed it to the 1st the other day and it reset today, odd....

I can not get the "Goal bar" underneath the nav to show up. I had ads displayed there thinking that was the problem. I removed them, but still nothing. Any suggestions?

[GrabMyWrist]

I added the following for my users to allow them to donate $25.00 for a period of 12 months.

Upon testing the mod, I noticed that Paypal saw the transaction as $25.00 for 12 months, recurring for 12 years.

I modified the mod to fix this issue by removing the following code from the XML.

{
				$vsapp_get_amount = explode('|', $vbulletin->GPC['amount']);
				$vsapp_ppurl = 'https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick-subscriptions';
				$vsapp_ppurl .= '&a3='.$vsapp_get_amount[0];
				$vsapp_ppurl .= '&p3='.$vsapp_get_amount[1];
				$vsapp_ppurl .= '&t3=M';
				$vsapp_ppurl .= '&no_note=1';
				$vsapp_ppurl .= '&sra=1';
				$vsapp_ppurl .= '&src=1';
REMOVE THIS  -------->          $vsapp_ppurl .= '&srt='.$vsapp_get_amount[1];
			}

Regards..

Looked though all 31 pages to find a cure for the white lines on a dark theme. This issue was posted feb 2010... how has no one been able to address it since??? D: Its the only thing keeping me from using this mod.

PayPal have limited my account because I used this mod on my website. I now have to provide them with proof that I am a registered charity or non-profit organisation or I have to refund all donations.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue with Paypal? I would like to use mod but don't want Paypal to limit my account.

Yup, the Australian Government has begun enforcing anti-money laundering / anti-terrorist financing laws, seems they've cracked down on PayPal to get proper identification, particularly from anyone receiving "Donations".

I believe PayPal are currently upgrading their system/s and as users that receive donations get moved to the newer system they get flagged as a charity/non-profit organization and are requested to supply proof of ID etc. etc.

I spent a week of emailing and 2 hours on the phone with PayPal last week getting my business account sorted out with them.
