      If, like me, you don't (or won't) use PayPal you can always send Nathan a cheque :dbgrtmb:. It's taken me years to get his address :heehee: but the cheque's in the post now. :thumbsup:

      Keep up the good work, Nathan and all the 'staff' - not forgetting Arbustus :)

        I thought I would just update you all here, as from my end, the chipin bar has not moved.

        Since me setting up the Chipin donate bar, a total of $50 has been collected out of the $85 required for hosting costs.

        Not bad at all for just 1 evening ! Thank you very much.

        Thought that I had better update you, so you all know where you stand with progress,as the bar has not moved.

        Thanks again

        Nathan

            I will say, you don't have to have paypal to pay through paypal, if you have a credit/debit card, it is possible to pay through paypal without holding a paypal account ;)

            Okay,

            QUICK UPDATE.

            Click on the link at the top of the page to chipin for direct updates.


            You have smashed the target for our hosting costs for this month (any extra will go towards the outstanding costs for the software changeover recently), and you have raised $99 (that is 116% of the target) !!!

            I really must say a big thank you to all the contributors, and at the same time, apologise that the donate bar hasn't 'updated' :( !!

            Next month, I will be using Paypal's own donate function, so hopefully it will work better?

            Again ..... Thank you all all for your help

            Nathan

              Personally, I have never had a problem.

              But I do know of people who have.
