Very cool, a PayPal mod is one of the things I wanted to have before I upgraded, thanks much!

Can this be made to work on the forum side bar as well ?

I agree! It will be great if this can work on the forum side bar too.

Be nice to have a monthly progress bar tied to subscriptions.

Wow this is a really awesome MOD. I wish that I could add this to my Forum only install.

It'd be possible (I'd have to learn a bit), but would require a plugin and is a bit beyond the scope of what I wanted to do with a simple widget/side block. I've had a quick search and there's two mods that have progress bars; Cyb - PayPal Donate and Donation Progress Bar-Forumhome. You're probably better of asking one of them to update either mod to vB4, in which adding compatibility to display the bar in a widget/block would probably be fairly straight forward. If neither mod owners are willing to update their mods then I'll look into doing it myself further.

You can enable this on the forum-only package and make it visible on every page. This is explained in the third post of this thread. In regards to the donation bar, see my comments above to steven s.
