Let's not worry about what happened, and just hope that it goes up the other $61 in the next few days.

How can you see that number as $439? Since Ziroc is using red letters and the last two digits disappear into the red field, I can only see the 4, which is in the orange field.

I can barely see it, but it IS $439, or at least it is as I type this! [img]smile.gif[/img]

I'm just happy to see it leap that far ahead!!! [img]smile.gif[/img]

It's definitely $439 - quite clear on my monitor - Larry, you might wanna play around with the colour, contrast and/or brightness settings on your monitor.

It might also have to do with resolution, Larry. I can see it on my monitor as well, although it is fading away at the end. A little shadow effect on the numbers might make it easier to see... [img]smile.gif[/img]

So close... [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Does it update it self?
I think Ziroc, clever guy he is, waited to update the meter to encourage people to donate... sort of a scare tactic... and it works... [img]smile.gif[/img]

*Jorath regrets not being able to donate

Maybe some sent the money by post, and since it was Easter, there were no deliveries until today. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I like the Choc busting kneecaps theory best. Probably squeezed $250 out of some poor soul.
