Recurring PayPal Donations

Paypal changes something in how they process form submissions about two months ago.  I was working on a similar plugin called Custom Donations.  I was experiencing a problem where Paypal would say that the link was bad.  I was looking to see how this plugin handled that problem and found that it was also broken.

Broken after Paypal Changes
