Hi Guy, Thanks for the patch. I decided to change it slightly. Basically I make people attentive at the top of the page that they can increase their donation. Basically the same as with the one time donations. That way it is more consistent. Furthermore I added a sentence like you did to explicitly ask people if they want to make a larger difference.
