True, Jaxel has pulled the donation widget out of the most recent product and pulled/ changed most of the reasonable methods out for bringing one in. Which many people miss since it WAS declared in the feature set of his earlier versions. And that's a problem - it's an extremely important feature to be dropping I've used the HTML block while I decide if I even want to continue with Xenporta. The money spent is nothing compared to the time wasted.
IRonically, a tweak of Jaxel's code would alleviate this issue of the very popular Donation Manager(David Hood's) WORKING on pages with sidebars, just not in forum view. I'd think a site owner wanting to maximize their donations is analogous to a developer wanting to sell downloads of their product. Throwing money at another developer just exacerbates the problem - we don't need 100 developers working on building around the same issue. Well, ok, maybe those developers do. But still, it may make work for another 100 developers but it also gives rise to 100+ site owners who think the original product might be one to move away from. I think it's a great product regardless.
