Oliver,
So sorry for so much inconvenience. We have made revisions on our website
settings.
1) I think the banner connection problem has been resolved by IGS.
2) We originally think the 'billing address' filled in by registrants on
our website could be conveyed to PayPal. But it seems that this is a bad
design which makes the registration process confusing. We now remove all
credit card information request on our website, but directly lead
registrants to PayPal. The registrants will then fill in the "billing
address" only once. Note that the address we requested on the first page of
the registration is your institutional address.
For your seemingly "failed" payment, I don't have a way to check if it is
successful or not since the payment is through UNAVCO. Allison may have an
answer for this.
Regards,
Jianghui
