Hi Kim, Björn, et.al.,

I am missing a "link" which leads me to a pre-filled paypal form for sponsoring a bounty that is already open.
Can you give me the necessary data (recipient mail adress, how to specifiy the exact bounty's name...)?

Thanks in advance, greetings
Thomas

Thomas,

We haven't set up the new bounty sponsor submission page or function yet (lack of time); but for anyone who wants to sponsor a bounty, the e-mail to be used is paypal at os2world dot com and use the bounty subject/name for the item field. That should do the trick I hope.

The reason why we haven't used the old sponsor buttons is that Joomla don't like the code that we include, so we need to find another way to handle it.

Well, looked a bit on this again and it seems either that PayPal changed their routines so that our old PayPal forms doesn't work anymore or at least it generates an error when jumping over to PayPal where they complaints about the provided e-mail. But if I try to generate a new button at PayPal and uses that code it seems to work fine. I gave it a try with he Lotus Notes bounty at it works to include the the buttons.

So I will get to work and update the different bounties tonight with new sponsors forms.
