Hello,
Since you added the "donate with PayPal" button I have the same problem that you probably already heard off.
In the Nintendo DSi Browser, the "donate with PayPal" button never appears, and the browser doesnt stop loading until is out of memory.
Of course, I dont want to ruin the new way of donation, so i think the solution to this is: instead of a button, have a basic html text with the link to the PayPal donation website. And, like this, you keep the PayPal link and the full compatibility to the DSi Browser. Of course is not pretty to modern browsers, but this is supposed to be a fully compatible website to the DSi Browser, so I think is a win-win for everybody.

Resolved: Yes

I've removed the pixel image and locally host the button.

Yup, replicated issue as described above, and the image itself gives "Network Error" on DSi

Just checked: the image is from https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donate_LG.gif, so either the image needs to be put on Paint servers or switch to plain HTML, as @DBPT210 suggested.

Don't worry about it, and that's a bug.

@GuiedGui DSi and DSi XL have the same hardware capabilities, it's possible that you have a different software revision but I don't know that it'd make a difference.

I just checked with my own DSi, and I'm getting slightly different behavior. The image indeed does not load, but instead of repeatedly trying to reload the image, it just gives up and displays the alt text. I'm not certain if this is due to having a different browser (Nintendo DSi XL over here) or having stlightly different conditions.

Anyway, I suspect the image doesn't load since either the dimensions are slightly too large (doubt) or it is hosted on a domain that doesn't like DSis.

But using plain HTML would be a good way to stop all these shenanigans.

Wow, I never noticed this since I have Download Images turned off. I suggest you do the same in the meantime, if it matters that much to you.
