Hi! I see you’re clicking the donate button on GoFundMe, but it's just stuck on buffering. I’d like to help get that fixed for you.
To start, could you let me know if this happens consistently on one campaign or multiple? Also, have you tried any initial steps like refreshing the page, clearing your browser cache, or trying a different browser?
In the meantime, here are some straightforward steps that often resolve this kind of "stuck buffering" issue when making donations:
1. Clear Browser Cache and Cookies: Sometimes stored data conflicts with the site’s loading process. On Windows 10, in your browser settings, find “Clear browsing data” and select cache and cookies.
2. Disable Browser Extensions: Some add-ons or ad blockers can interfere with payment processing. Try disabling them temporarily and then attempt the donation again.
3. Try Incognito/Private Mode: Open a private browsing window and navigate to the donation page to see if it works there.
4. Test Another Browser: If you’re on Chrome, try Firefox, Edge, or vice versa.
5. Check Internet Connection: A slow or unstable connection could cause the buffering. Running a quick speed test or trying another network (like mobile hotspot) can help isolate this.
If you’ve done these already, let me know, and I can guide you through more advanced checks like inspecting account limits or payment method verification.
Are you comfortable trying these steps? And did you notice any error messages pop up at any point during the donation process?
