SPAM messages...

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.

Paypal Donate does not work.Homepage.

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.

Whom to donate to?

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

Did not receive credit for donation

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.
