Fenway, you can create a button pretty quick to donate to the site via paypal. Add in [YOUR PAY-PAL EMAIL] and on the server side, replace [BOARD MEMBER USERNAME] with the logged in Username. This would give you a track of who contributed. I've only done full integrations with PayPal for shopping carts, so I'm not sure what your report would look like. I would assume it would have the item_name variable in the received funds entry.

<form name="_xclick" action="https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick"> <input type="hidden" name="business" value="[YOUR PAY-PAL EMAIL]"> <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="[BOARD MEMBER USERNAME]"> <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD"> <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="11.00"> <input type="image" src="http://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donate_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Donate $11 to INGunOwners to feed your addiction!"> </form>

Thank you Joe! I will look into that!

I was thinking that you might be able to do it with JavaScript as an onsubmit for the Form, but it doesn't look like username is stored in any variable or form field to retrieve on the client side. That is always more of a PITA than server side anyway, due to supporting IEs broken standards.

I can set up a subscription here via the forum that accepts paypal and automatically puts members in the new "supporter" user-group. But I found last time I did this on a VB forum it didn't always work right and became more of a pain in the ass.

I haven't worked much with vBulletin for integration, just GeekLog, Wordpress, etc. Most of the time, I've had more luck "rolling my own" for stuff like this.

Also, I noticed that you can trim down your page load size by about 40 kB, if there is an easy way to pull out the main styles into a .css style sheet and the main javascript into a separate .js. This would reduce your page load bandwidth by about half, on an average page. Currently, that code can't be cached, on a dynamic page.
