Firs of all: Great program!

The "Help-Buy Me A drink" function only allows $5.
Tried to donate $20 USD (Alcohol is expensive in Norway ;-), but PayPal only shows $5.
Had to donate 4 times to get to $20

Haha.. Yeah.. I was quite amused by the pile of drinks that arrived in my inbox. Thanks! :)

I'll have a look and see if I can figure out why its not working. If I put in "$20" or "20" and hit the "Paypal" button, paypal picks up that I wanted $20.

When you get to that first paypal page (after hitting the "Paypal" button), does it say $20 at the top, or does the $5 limit come later?

If I select one of the preconfigured amounts "$1.00 $2.00 $5.00 $10.00 $20.00", it say's "TVRename thank-you drink Total: $5.00 USD" at the top.

However, I just tried to write in the amount as "20" og "$20", an then it works correctly! If I try "$20.00" og "20.00" it shows $5 on paypal.
The error is proberly due to some "regional settings". I Norway the decimal separator is , insted of .

BTW: If I try to enter "$20,00" is says "$2,000.00 USD" on paypal. Don't know if this is a bug or a feature... :D

Its a feature, for sure! ;)

As you say, its probably regional issues. I'm almost definitely not paying attention to them when converting the amount. Thanks for pointing it out - I'll have a look at it.

Ok.. I think I've fixed it. It now pays attention to your regional settings for displaying, and interpreting, the amount. Grab the latest version here.
