Donations

One question - is there any way of double checking if a member donates without having to check the bank account or PayPal? It might make things easier and people more aware as well

Yes... but it requires me writing code.

I can add a token to the donate link/button, and it will identify who is donating. Then I can add a PayPal callback, so that PayPal pings me info of new transactions... and that would include the token. Then I can use that knowledge to add "flare" to a profile, i.e. the old gold stars we used to have.

It's possible, but that code doesn't exist in Microcosm yet.

I can't do it based on email address as most people tend to use a different email on PayPal than their primary email for site registration, etc.

I've got lots to do, and need a hand doing it. So I've focused on cleaning the code up and getting it to a place that others can help me work on it. A few people have expressed interest in doing so, and it makes sense to help get others involved.
