Sooooo, the DUer's Wishlist post that is highlighted in green in this OP is now only $150 from his goal!!!!!
I've updated the Wishlist post and the OP to reflect this (in red, so it jumps out).
YOU'RE ALL WONDERFUL!!!!
I know that a few of the other Wishlist posts got a rather large donation by a quiet, big-hearted DUer I had the pleasure of meeting today.
to you, if you're reading!!! This DUer also gifted Wishadoo!, which helps me breathe easily as far as site expenses for another month. More
The other DUers haven't checked in yet. Some of the posts have a widget that shows the progress of the fundraiser embedded with their Wishlist post. There is a lag time but it still helps to see the progress.
Finally, I've discovered that different browsers are making things not work or display differently, specifically as it concerns the PayPal buttons within the individual Wishlist posts. The creator of those listings provides the code -- generated from PayPal -- and I swear it looks different each time. If someone is using IE, it seems they can't use those PayPal links AT ALL (even though PayPal provided the code!). I'll be looking into this and see about streamlining this for future reference.
I think that's all for now. Hug yourselves!!!
Oh wait, HUGE
to the heart-giving bandit!!! Howler, you rock!
