Still curious after donating over a week ago, how to gain access to the gold forum or to have my account profile update to donor level. Any ideas?

Me too? I donated over 2 weeks ago now and have asked Flynn two or three times to allocate to my name now? Not sure the list is being updated enough maybe?

I'm also waiting to be upgraded to Gold membership after making a donation made a week ago.

This is becoming quite frustrating.

My transaction just went through, so would not worry, I'm sure they are busy.

Just went Gold. Like you said. Busy. Very busy. Is it any wonder.

Sorry for the biggest delay so far. The donations to moderators will be automatically added to forum user names once the donation software allows multiple Paypal accounts - which will hopefully be the case within a few weeks. Until then I'll have to add these donations manually, and this time it took longer than it should have.

Does the forum record multiple donations and keep a running/cumulative total?

I'm squeaking by these days, but can donate a bit here and there...

Yes it does
