Support Us button reveals PayPal a schill for MS

Of direct importance to Keleth alone, over the past year or so, I periodically have tried to set up a recurring monthly donation, using the Support Us button on the home page.

1) The recurring part has never actually recurred - I think the donation happens once, then stops.
2) With Google Chrome browsers (both on my Samsung Galaxy S7 phone and off a Windows PC) the Support Us button goes to a page where you cannot change the amount from $0.00. This is suboptimal, heh.

Anyway, I swallowed my IE aversion and set up a recurring donation today using the Microsoft Internet Explorer virus, so hopefully the recurring donation sticks.

Damn, thanks for bringing this up! I'll have to hide my love for Microsoft IE more...

But seriously, thanks for letting me know. Sounds really weird, as I expect more from PayPal, but I'll take a look right away.

Hm... while not a very intuitive setup, I was able to change my donation amount? It says 0, and the cursor blinks on the left (which is weird), but when I typed in 10, it replaced the value. Not a big fan of the UI, but it seems to work? As for recurring, I'll look into that. I know others have setup recurring donations, as recently as 3 months ago, but there may well be a bug in my link that I'll look into.

Maybe in my case: The source of the error lies between the chair and the keyboard.

I'm actually really surprised that the UI is as poor as it is. It's not at all intuitive.

In related news, I just received a notification that another Paypal donation occurred, so somehow my prior problems of the recurring donation not recurring have not recurred.

So... the recursion recurred but the recursion of not recurring didn't reoccur? Or was there a recursion of a lack of recursion when you tried to setup a reoccurring donation?
