Show Loader For Pesapal iFrame
by King'ori Maina 08 Sep '15

08 Sep '15

Hello, I find that the Pesapal iFrame takes a while to load … which leaves you with a blank page. With no indication of loading, the user isn’t given feedback that there is something that’s loading. Is there a way to add a loader? I’m assuming this would be the default until the iFrame loads. — King’ori Maina (kingori.co <http://kingori.co/>)

Value of Kenyan Shilling (vis-à-vis Elections)...
by Michael Bullut 08 Sep '15

08 Sep '15

Greetings Listers, I apologize for cross-posting. I have been following the deprecation of the shilling in recent times with great concern and I want to know what you think is casing the downfall of our currency. With a little over a year to the next general elections, I believe this plays a part *(call me a conspiracy theorist).* Who here remembers the decline of the Kenyan Shilling shortly before the '07 elections? *#schoolme* Warm regards, Michael Bullut. --- *Cell:* *+254 723 393 114.**Skype Name:* *Michael Bullut.* *Twitter:* * @Kipsang <http://twitter.com/Kipsang/>* *Blog: http://www.kipsang.com/ <http://www.kipsang.com/>* *E-mail:* *main(a)kipsang.com <main(a)kipsang.com>* *---*
