Let me look into it. I set up the paypal donation stuff a few years ago. I may have missed something.

It may or may not be DPRevived. A few years ago I tried to subscribe to JStor and failed. PayPal wasn't accepting payments for JStor from Singapore. I have not tried to subscribe since. JStor only used PayPal, and nothing else.
In the PayPal forums, questions about it went unanswered.

Oh, I don't think it's us. It's Paypal.

It's possible that I can't donate if it's a PayPal problem.
-
Just used Alan's original method from here in the USA and it worked ...

Alan & Co,
I little donation added to your pot
I'm not going to get too involved as to whether it is better in the long term to continue with this platform or to migrate to a (potentially) cheaper alternative. I'm sure that, between yourself and a few others, the right decisions will be made.
The important thing, to me at least, is the people - and their photos.
Hopefully, if I can ever get retired from work, I'll be a bit more active on the site!

This is the 2nd Option. I still cannot donate.

Very weird. What happens if you change the country to something other than Singapore?
Alan

Ted & Tim, Many thanks for your donation.
-
Yes, I quite agree. The cameraderie that we have built up here is very important and I don't want to lose it.
I did want to make everyone aware of the lack of progress in updating the forum and providing other facilities - which is why I started this thread.

The message is gone if I chiose Australia.
-
Australia needs a proper Australian address. A PO Box might not work.
I can try some Address and matching Aussie no., if that works, I don’t know.
Weird to see PayPal blocking Singapore but It works for me to pay Dirk from here.
A Singapore based Credit Card/Debit Card and an Aussie Address and Aussie Phone No. Cannot work. Sorry Alan.
-
Don't worry - we will cope. Actually, I had this from someone else over there and they paid me via my personal paypal and then I paid into the bank account. If you want to do that, send me a private message and I'll reply with my paypal email address.

happy to fund the 500gbp per year in total. just need to know it will continue
-
That's very generous, but it shouldn't need one person to fund it all. I'm really glad you all think it's worth continuing. I think we have a very unique forum and a good set friends.

I made a donation about 3 months ago :-)
..., will donate again next year.
Would be good to keep the site going.
Keep up the good work
Thanks
