..... Sorted. Thanks for being such a good steward Ian......

Self preservation Stanley, it's backed up with my personal debit card.

[Tripps]

Can you just remind me again how to make a Paypal contribution?

Thanks for all the work you and the others (you know who you are) do.

[PanBiker]

Just click the donate button at the top right of the home page below the search box.

[Tripps]

It's been one of those days - I don't have such a button.

My phone stopped working last night - nothing wrong here said Plusnet -try switchng on Airplane mode' for five minutes then off - it resets the connection. It worked. . . .

[PanBiker]

As admin, I can browse the board with any users permissions. I tried with yours David and can see the link on the home page and it functions as expected. Donors can make an individual donation or click a link to make a regular subscription. All via PayPal but you do not need to have an account yourself.

I should add that the donate tab is part of the header image which is universal to all threads on the site.

[Wendyf]

Donation made Ian.

[Tripps]

Ah - if you slide the screen across a bit - the magic button appears. . . . The deed is done.

Reminds me of the chap who had on his annual report "spends a lot of time pushing doors marked pull"

[Gloria]

Back from hols late tomorrow, will do Friday.

[Stanley]

David, watching your posts re. PayPal reminds me of me with my email......

[Gloria]

Sorry I’m late with this, I completely forgot about it, done now.

[PanBiker]

Thanks Gloria and to everyone else who has contributes. Should keep the wolves away until well into the New Year. I'll do an update at the end of March.
