PayPal added a step to their process that encourages and confuses you to create a PayPal account. Please keep in mind that you do not have to create an account.

When you get to this button, switch it off, like the picture below, then checkout button will change to “Pay Now as Guest” or something similar.

Done, one more Golden Badge. Happy new year.

By the way: The Paypal transaction went like a breeze. But after the confirmation of the transaction the redirection to the forum did not work. Paypal showed an error message instead.

Also - after donating - while my donation is confirmed by “Thank you for your support in 2025!” - the Support Drive Window is still displayed:

@Panther Thanks, I think I fixed it.

But I need to create the new groups before I can make the box disappear. Work in progress.

[AndrewAAGamer]

Yep, worked like a charm for me. GOLD submitted.

[Witt]

@djensen and me just now .
Thanks .

[djensen]

Thanks everyone! I’ll work on badges tonight.

[mikawagunichi]

Worked for me as well. Another year of Gold.

Hi Dave. I have just subscribed for 2025.

[mikawagunichi]

Hello everyone, with the new year and a new support drive beginning, @Stucifer and I have decided to sweeten the pot a bit and generate some interest for our favorite league game variant. For any player who has never played PTV or whose most recent PTV league game was completed in 2023 or earlier, we will pay for a Gold badge for any player who completes 3 PTV games this year. For players who pay for their own badge, we will still make an equivalent dollar amount donation to the forum. Limited to the first 5 sign ups, please DM if interested, thank you!

@djensen There might be a problem with the signup. I’ve tried to pay for bronze level for the past 3 days, but the pay pal site keeps saying not available at this time.

I checked today and the paypal site would allow me to buy silver or gold…is this a sneaky way to force an upgrade?

I appreciate all that is done at this site, but i hadn’t planned on upgrading.

Any help?

Cheers,
surfer

Just paid for a gold badge. I’m happy to be able to support the site. So what do I need to do exactly in order to get the badge?

@djensen

I cannot make it work.

I try to pay with VISA.

Paypal keeps asking for new password - and is sending me a code to enter…

I do not get the same picture as you have shown above… there is no “switch off…” button for creating Paypal account…

[djensen]

@surfer It’s probably a misconfiguration on my side. I’ll take a look.

[djensen]

@The-Captain Do you already have a PayPal account? If so, you might need to log in. If you do not have a PayPal account, it should work.

Still present:

@djensen

I have been trying to reset my password on PayPal - all I know is, that I always pay by VISA - and never with PayPal…

I have sent you a pm.

@djensen just paid gold for 2025, can you also please invite me to the silver 2024 group?
Thx!

[VictoryFirst]

@Panther So the donating must be confirmed? After I paid it still shows the Support Drive window for me, without any message saying “Thank you for you support”.

@djensen Paid! In it for Gold again in 2025 :)
