Just curious!

Why do the Donate details change depending on whether you are on the WP front page or on the WP Forum Index?

From

Quote:
$1,969 raised of the $3,700 needed for a new server.

To
Quote:
$2,314 raised of the $4,800 needed for a new server.


Which price for a new server is the correct one?

And, the burning question: which of the two figures for total donations is right? :?

:?

Fixed, apparently! :)

Total donations $2,314! :) But the server became lots more expensive than previously thought, and went from $3,700 to $4,800, which is a shame! :( ;)

sorry i had the wrong price from the beginning. the 3700 was if the server were only 300/month but thats the cost of the CURRENT server.

Thank you very much for explaining. :)

It did seem rather odd, so it's nice to know how that happened. Thanks again for taking the time to answer the question. :)

I think the new Donations button is brilliant. And the "Running Total" is cool too. :D

8O It suddenly occurred to me that that could be quite a time-consuming job, if you are getting lots of little, or even lots of big, ;) donations coming in!

I hope you don't get snowed under with that "calculating/sum", at the same time as continuing to get lots of donations!! ! lol.

I quite like accounting work, in small bursts, and for a good cause, but I suspect that there's not much I can do over here ( in France ) to help! But I noticed that the total has been stagnating at the same figure now for a couple of days, and was thinking that this might be because you are snowed under.

Good luck with keeping the Running Total more or less up to date! :)
