Is it because I changed my id to David Bailey yesterday (when my green star was showing), then back to Ice this morning, so my friends at Cal spotted my old credit card don't work any more, because I have a brand new one now, and despite having processed it previously, it can't today (why would it?) so it's taken back my green star? I don't believe a word of it. I think my green star has done a runner and is sleeping out rough. Where did you spot it again Monday? flam ing balloons ID: 656225 ·

You might have set them to do not show your star! Why thank you Mr Brady, Sir. You're so clever! How did you know? But more puzzling, how did it happen? I don't recall changing my settings. This is very strange indeed. But now I have changed them back, hopefully my green star will reappear after the machinations of the SETI servers dig it out of the system for me. Thanks again Mathew Brady. I hope we can do a photo shoot some day :) flam ing balloons ID: 656231 ·

Way down here in the southern hemispherem just south of the Southern Cross constellation. You wont be able to see it from where you are even if its dark. When they do a runner they don't muck about.

You got me me there CA. I ask my self why and it's probably for the same reason as many here. I've always like sci-fi and and I just adore the patron here, Arthur C Clarke - read every book of his, some twice. It's not just about wanting sci-fi to come true, it's a fascination of anything to do with Space. This project is about the only way I know how to help that science, the crunch in my PC is all I can offer. So I try, and I try to lure others here as well ;) flam ing balloons ID: 656236 ·

My donation setting were set to "anonymous" although I don't recall changing them. I changed my id name yesterday, and back again today - that's when I noticed it was gone. Ratava suggested I look at my settings, and I changed them back and got the green star back. It made my avatar look wrong without the green star :( flam ing balloons ID: 656260 ·

It certainly looks like they couldn't process you credit card, and are saying that things don't match, please don't try again. That's not right. Who wrote such a process into the system to turn people away from donating? Surely you should be allowed to try again and let their computer systems process your address properly? flam ing balloons ID: 656270 ·

I had a similar problem last year when using the official Seti link. Last time I donated I used the new paypal link and it was fine. That's through the KWSN site is it Chris? I think I might try that option next time since I've been using paypal on ebay recently and it's so easy to use (too easy to spend all your money as well :) flam ing balloons ID: 656273 ·
