Title: Help mud-club raise money for charity!
Post by: Thrasher on March 30, 2005, 20:45:37

I am proposing to remove 60% of Piglet's stickers, polish him, valet him and generally give him a really good pamper.

However, as this is such a rare occassion, I though I'd see just how much this rare event could raise for charity! I mean, Piglet losing his stickers is like me cutting my hair (NO!)

Piglet will be getting new, custom, stickers in replacement, so won't be totally naked for long ;-)

Now - in order for him to get the *full* treatment, along with piccies and dare I mention, video footage, I am proposing we try and raise at least £200 for charity via our little donation icon you have all seen on the bottom of the main mud-club forum page.

We will monitor the donations from the moment this post is made....

You don't need a Paypal account... just follow the instructions, and it should guide you through the process

Tried to donate using the secure checkout feature but there is no way of placing your amount  :?:

Don't have a paypal account either, where am I going wrong  :?:

Title: Help mud-club raise money for charity!
Post by: muddyweb on April 01, 2005, 14:01:12

Andy,

Click on the 'Donate' button at the bottom of the forum pages... you should be taken to the screen below.

Put in the amount you would like to donate, then click on the button shown.

This should take you through the process and let you enter your details and card number, etc.

Hope that helps.

Can you do a screenshot of the screen you get and email it to me ?

On windows just hit 'prt scr' or <ctrl> and 'prt scr' to copy a screen dump to the clipboard, then open an email and in the message do a 'paste'  (or ctrl and v)  that should insert the screenshot into your mail.

Send it to tim @ muddyweb .com and I'll see if I can work out what is happening.

Cheers,

Yep.. got it

On that screen, can you scroll down at all ?

There should be a Payment Details box in the bottom left, under the secure checkout button

Daft place to put it, granted, but it is there when I look at it.

I have the same screen without the 'Payment Details'.
When I click on the 'Secure Checkout' it goes back to the same screen with
'Please enter an amount greater than zero'
