Is there a way to donate without signing up for PayPal, I had a bad experience with them in the past?

We can only really use PayPal, but you don't need an account.

The alligators have taken over the speedboats - what sort of hosting company are you dealing with here. I know IT guys are getting younger but they ought to be taught the difference between a right & delete before they let out of kindergarten :D

A backup is one of the simplest computing things that has to be done when running this or any website. Frequently not thought about until too late and the first thing I do before any task at all.

Saved our bacon today and a site belonging to Maker at least once.🤪

Worth £20 just for the entertainment! :lol:

PayPal charged me another €2, on top of the lousy exchange rate, just for the privilege of using their service. Bandits!

Just a reminder,
DO NOT SAY THAT YOU ARE BUYING GOODS OR A SERVICE.
Then, the whole donation comes through.
But i, and we, thank you.
And hope to keep you entertained. :D :D

Meh, can you not make it obvious to drunks like me that donate is at the top of the page, not the bottom?

Don't we send enough money down south?

Not a ridiculous idea.
The For Sale forum is very slow though.
