Hey guys just an FYI. The paypal donate on the homepage does not work for me. I tried twice today with Chrome and IE8 browsers and nothing. Entering an amount and hitting Paypal does not launch the Paypal site.
Thought you should know.
I've sent svetius a PM to look into this, I'm guessing it is related to the server upgrade.
EDIT: He's replied letting me know they are looking into it .

Donations are working now. Very very sorry for the inconvenience.

We removed a large number of Private Message spam messages yesterday. So if you got an e-mail announcing a PM and no PM was there when you logged in, this is ok.
Damn spammers...
EDIT MDAIIIUser
Removed the Global Announcement as the Info is now old 10/05/2006
Many thanks! Your hard work is much apreciated.
Warm regards,
Neil.
It has been a problem on a lot of forums recently, as it seems there is now code that can integrate with the board and autosend to a selection from the members list.
With XMB the latest version has code to prevent this - so i would guess there is also a version for phpBB.
If it is from a unique IP there is no harm in blocking it as a quick temporary fix.
Got this one the other day in my PM box...

Comment removed by me!
If you read his post subject, it says, "Got this one the other day in my PM box..." This implies that he is willing to notify us of this spam PM occurence.
Ah ha, please accept my sincere apologies! I was all in a bind about spam and clearly not thinking properly. Again, i retract my comments 100% and have edited out my previous post.
Regards,
Neil.
I've seen some links for individual donaions bu what about an email address to send paypal funds to for a general donation. I've been a silent user for 18 months, time to help out!
Thanks
I'm not an admin or a moderator, but here's where you can donate to XDA. You even get nice stars next to your user name for every 10 euros donated. Hope that helps
thanks...
Yes, I saw that but wanted the receiving email address of the account instead of taking a hop from this site to PayPal. It's a paranoia thing.
Thanks~
Just PM Flar or svetius about it
Thanks, aiko =D.
Our donation PayPal is [email protected]
I want to make a donation to a developer actively working on sound and GPS.
Is there one with a paypal account accepting donations?
Yes. I will take whatever you have. $10's and $20's, please.

Feel free to PM the devs or the OP on whatever thread you are refering to...they'll be happy to direct you in the right direction
I searched for an existing thread about this, but could not find one.
I just made a donation to XDA via the donations page here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/donations.php
I followed the directions (I was logged into my xda account, and followed the link on pay-pal back to xda when done processing the transaction), however the page still says I have yet to donate anything, and I do not have any stars under my username.
Is this system automated, or does a mod/admin have to manually verify my donation? I can provide receipt and pay-pal email via PM to a mod/admin if needed.
Thanks in advance!
It is supposed to be automated, but sometimes stuff happens. You might be a bit early in checking however. If it doesn't show up in a couple hours, check here: XDA Contacts & Help
Thanks for the quick response! I figured there was a dedicated thread/contact form for this issue, I guess my search-foo is weak
The same happened to me when I donated, but as you can now see, it's showing fine.
Mine took a couple of days to be sorted, as it says on the link mf2112 linked.

ATTENTION XDA USERS & DEVS!!!!
SOMEONE IS MAKING FAKE WEBSITES FOR WICKED AND DEVIANT DEVELOPMENT ASKING FOR DONATIONS!!!!
THIS IS NOT ME, NOT MY SITE AND NOT PART OF DEVIANT DEVELOPMENT!!!!

AGAIN THIS IS NOT MY SITE OR ME SO DO NOT DONATE TO HIM!!!!!
DEVELOPERS I WOULD SEARCH AROUND BECAUSE I KNOW IM NOT THE ONLY PERSON HE IS DOING THIS TO!!!!
Did you contact Weebly's admins about this? From their TOS content guidelines that are not allowed, Scams: get rich quick, pyramid/MLM, or other dubious schemes. Here's a link to their abuse page.

thanx bro
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Lol shady. But if anyone is stupid enough to donate on a site that not XDA and linked in your profile these are the dumb dumbs that need a smack to the head. Common sense is all that is needed to know that site is fake.
TWEAKED N3
I don't see anywhere on the site to donate or pay for anything. The download link goes straight to the download page. Unless the ZIP is password protected or something?:silly:
announcement made, information passed...thread closing to keep trolls out...
