Title: Problem Making a Donation
Post by: jthjth on December 19, 2025, 07:21:27 PM
When I go to the donation page and press the donate button I get an error, generated by PayPal stating " Things don't appear to be working at the moment. Please try again later." I've tried several times today. Anyone else getting this error?

Thanks for trying!  The Paypal account asked me to confirm a few things, then wait three days to become active.  It's still not active!  I'll have to call them and sort it out.

Do these instructions work or are they afflicted by the same issue:

You can also donate via Paypal and enter the email address Contact@NGaugeForum.co.uk, then select Friends and Family. This will mean that some of the money isn't taken by Paypal as fees.

Sorry, I'll have to sort this out next week.

If anyone would be OK with a bank transfer, please message me and I'll send the details over.

Many thanks, and Merry Christmas to you.

Hello all,

This should now be resolved.

PayPal were supposed to have sent me a notification to click on the app, but they confirmed that that process wasn't done, so sent it again.  Annoying!

Thanks for you patience and any future donations.

Just a thought. Should anybody who does not use PayPal or struggles with this and prefers bank transfer is / will there be that option please?

You just need to use a card, you don't need an account, if that helps.

If anyone prefers bank transfer, please send me a message for details.  Thanks!

Yep, it seems that I have managed to successfully add a few quid to the pot without issue...

Excellent. As I see the December goal has been smashed, I'll leave my donation till next month now.

Cheers,
