Thanks,
my query is:
I have dc credits already on my account. If I donate them towards the site now, will they go towards the total (as shown in banner)
TIA

They won't automatically, no.

In fact the fundraiser banner tallies new money coming into the site during the fundraiser, and it doesn't really pay attention to where it goes, so some people might donate during the fundraiser and send some credits to a specific person, but it still counts it in the fundraiser tally. That's ok because *most* people don't do that, and any money bouncing around the site is good. (So for example in other words, the money in your donationcredits might have come from and been counted in the LAST fundraiser).

Having said that -- if you'd like to send your donationcredits to the site account and have it count on the fundraiser banner -- or if someone recently donated to the site and would like their credits "counted", just send me a personal message and tell me how much and I'll update the banner appropriately so your contribution is counted

Tomos has been the investigator par excellence on several recent lapses in memory. He should get a PI badge!

I love those funrazor images! Some of them were truly charming.
