280,846.76. It's staying stuck on this number even though it flashes like it has a new number.

Refresh, and then it will probably drop down to about 260k. I'm not sure what's going on...

Now, I refreshed the page and it went down to 259,465.00. But, it does seem like it's updating again.

Weird.

We can only hope all of these technical glitches are happening because so many donations are coming in that the counters are having a hard time keeping track!!! That's probably wishful thinking, but it's my only comfort right now. :D

The server is freaking out because it can't handle the traffic.

well, if they are using a flatfile txt file - and they don't have locks on it when it is opened etc.. then yes, screwy things can happen... but that is sorta a lackey way of doing things for a project like this.. so I can't imagine they would do that.

OMG!

When I refreshed, I kept getting the same thing.

Then I left the site, and went back in. Now I only show 261,001.00! :eek:

also. someone MIGHT submit a bad charge, the donation 'flash' gets updated.. but the reconciliation of the donation comes back as verified or not... then the file gets read, flash gets updated..

so, it might just be that some charges are going thru that are bunk.. then when the payment auth is denied, the flash is updated with new "lower" amount.

we jumped like 60k in 3 hours (average of 20k an hour) between when the first problem happened (the counter went down) and it got back up....i figured this was too big a jump as we were averaging 8k an hour prior to it and that's the general pace we are on since things got fixed.

we've been consistantly pacing at around 150k per day since this whole thing started

this number seems more accurate.

It cant be that or they would cancel Ron Pauls CC account. Anything over 2% charge back raises lots of eyebrows

Very exciting when the numbers are climbing :D

A real bummer when they start to go backward :(

30,000 more dollars? But seriously, if it was a bug, no problem, i just hope people's transactions didnt get botched or something.

I think it's because a few over-excited people donated over the legal limit... maybe a lot over the legal limit... and the numbers were adjusted accordingly.

Get off the forum, stop worrying about the donations and make it happen!!

Stop flooding the server!!!

The last thing we need to do is crash the server or make the campaign think they need to spend money on a new one.

IF YOU ARE NOT DONATING STOP VISITING!!!

I don't think that will be an issue at this point.
