When touched, that link produces this sign:

Let's try again. I went away, and came back, and the link below still worked.

https://www.paypal.com/donate?token=p26 ... S8xKKE8K7M

It should produce this:

Maybe it's your location being in Europe? I'm not sure what else it could be.

Could be, although nobody else from Europe has commented on this...
I can always repeat a former payment from the PayPal historic register... Thanks for your help, anyway!

Hmmm. When I came back today, I found that the link I re-posted (and which worked yesterday) is broken. I wonder if the Paypal site generates a new, unique, and timed link each time the button is clicked.

I suggest installing and trying another browser.

*Chrome Forks: Google Chrome, Chromium (Linux only), Vivaldi (my fav), Brave, Opera, MS Edge.

*Firefox and its fork Librewolf (nice fork).

*DuckDuckGo (Windows and Mac only for the full browser which has its own Youtube player which blocks ads--stripped down version for Android, don't know about iOS).

Or you could try PMing MordEth/David and asking him for the email address or account name for the Paypal account. It would be most unwise for him to publish the information publicly, but he might provide it through a PM.

@MordEth (Don't know if the @ functions as an alert flag in this version of the forum software but I will try)

Thanks for all this advice!

It’s using PayPal’s form code, so it’s probably generating new tokens, although I’ve not checked how frequently.

Personally, I use Brave, mostly for the additional built-in privacy features/adblocking, although I have almost all of the browsers for testing purposes.

I have PayPal, Venmo, CashApp and the ability to take transfers via Zelle; should anyone wish to use any of these to donate, I’d be happy to that info via PM, or if someone would prefer my address to send a check, that could be arranged as well.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t, although I try to read the tech support forum somewhat regularly. For most of the other forums, I’m more likely to look at reported posts.

All seems to be well now. Thank you, David!
