As to where to put the buttons, I am not sure. I am against adding buttons for the sake of having them, especially when they serve no practical purpose whatsoever, it just starts to look messy. I do plan to add a submenu under settings for 'Advanced Settings' where all the fiddly settings go like API port and subnet and such, perhaps we can put them there.

That's a good placement,
Neil. Or you could put the button near the "kill the cat" one, as the Settings page is full of space. No need for a sub-page there.
Also, regarding the "
Donation Period", I tried to reorder the pools using the "
Switch to" buttons of the
miner.php page and what they do is to switch the pool,
without killing the cgminer program, as you can see in the following image (I did a switch from pool 0 to pool 1 and again a switch from pool 1 to pool 0). The cgminer is still running.
Why don't you fix your donation pool as pool 'n' and at donate time, do a switch command to your pool, doing again a pool switch to user's pool at end donation time, instead of killing the cgminer program, launch a new instance with your pool and then, @ end donation time kill it again and launch again the cgminer with user's pools? Killing cgminer 2 times a day is risky (one time, last week, cgminer refused to detect both
USB Gizmos) and info is lost, like running time, best share, Hardware Errors, etc...
