Admin/Configure has an allow hthml option as does each users profile. Please try and post in the correct part of the forum, this question clearly has nothing to do with ecommerce! _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums

I don't understand what you mean! - when I click the link that you posted on my site nothing happens?! I have copied the code into a reply to your post on my forums and as you can see, it doesn't work! Am I asking the wrong questions, am I missing something out here? - I don't get it

No one said you could post a form to a forum. That would be a security hazard to your users. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums

no other way to say it really, there is no way to add a form to a post, I see no need to either, why not add the donation button to your overall_footer.tpl underneath:

obviously Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure! would be an image of your choosing.

that or you could add portals and have it in a custom component
