[Gloria]

When i go into "donate" on iPad it's just giving me a blank screen with small PayPal written on it.
Sorted, done it on iPhone.
Donated.

[PanBiker]

Just checked it Gloria and it seems to be working. What platform are you using?

[Gloria]

iPad wouldn't do it, but iPhone has. iPad a bit ancient.

[PanBiker]

No notification yet Gloria but it can take a little while. Did you get a receipt, just checking functionality?

[Gloria]

Yes got a receipt.

[PanBiker]

Just got notification of your donation, thanks for that and confirmation that the process is functioning OK.

[Wendyf]

Donation made.

[PanBiker]

Just for the record, you can still donate without a Paypal account. In those cases I get the receipt reference forwarded to myself as admin for the sites Paypal account.

[Wendyf]

I just paid by card.

[PanBiker]

Yes, I have your receipt Wendy.

[chinatyke]

Added my 2 pennyworth. Got a receipt and a transaction number, does that mean everything has gone through OK? I use my card so infrequently these days that I forget the address at which it is registered!

[Stanley]

Mine as well, seemed to go through smoothly. (Firefox)
Five minutes later, receipt has come in....

[PanBiker]

Yes it does, " all automatic" as the Meerkats would say. Thanks to everyone who has donated we have gone from yesterdays virtually skint pauper to solvent again in about 18 hours. We should be OK for a while anyway, barring shipwrecks or drownings.

We should be OK for a while anyway, barring shipwrecks or drownings.

In fact nothing to laugh at at all. Now who said that?

[Tizer]

Mrs Tiz put in our subs too.

[Stanley]

Good you reminded us Ian, we need a nudge every now and then. Thanks for that!

[Tripps]

I put a donation in, and as usual noted it down in my Filofax. Even I was somewhat surprised to see my first one was in January 2006. That's 14 years I've been on here! Doesn't time fly when you're having fun.

[Gloria]

Just give us a kick when you need some more.

[PanBiker]

Ooh permission to abuse, noted I'll not be as nice next time.

[Tizer]

Oooh, you are awful, but I do like you!

[Gloria]

Ooh permission to abuse, noted I'll not be as nice next time.

[Stanley]

Good God David, is it that long ago? Seems like yesterday!
I wonder if Doc's self isolating wherever he is.

[PanBiker]

I think this may answer your question, posted on Doc's FB site a couple of days ago:

Docs Location.jpg

Salt Whistle Bay, Grenadines.

Looks a bit warmer than Barlick

Five years in June since he and Carole set sail.

[Stanley]

Nice, If anybody can communicate with them give them my love!
