Noob question regarding Patreon.
So, I've been supporting FUMBBL on Patreon for a few months now, and I have now come to the conclusion that the supporter badge on my page won't show up by itself. So.. who do I talk to? :

Christer - drop him a message on discord

It didn't on mine for a while and then Christer got around to it... the fact that you're supporting the site is more important. The right folks know - Christer and you ;)

I am supporting via patreon but it does not show on my supporter remark either. I am sure eventually Christer will figure it out but as Jeffro said most important is that we are supporting the site :-)

Same here. I've been on since day 1 and honestly I don't mind not having the badge.

Thanks though for helping out!

I think the badge kind of inspires other to also donate, though, so I think you should ask big C to fix yours - just for the good purpose!

It automatically turns mine to gold - I think you have to get on discord and authorize (bb auth) on the main channel - once you've done that it should update.

Yeah, mine is also gold and I am authorized in discord.

As far as I know a one time donation does automatically turn your badge to gold, since it's linked to the donate button. Monthly Patreon donations do not turn your badge to gold and requires manual intervention from Christer.

As of roughly a month ago, there is an automated method for Patreons. It's a bit involved though:

1. Connect your Patreon account to your Discord account. This is done on the Patreon website.
2. Authorize your FUMBBL account on Discord (message the word "auth" to BowlBot and follow instructions).
3. Wait until the next day.

This should get you your supporter badge updated on the site. BowlBot checks who has the special purple name (which is an effect of your account having the patreon specific role), and uses this together with knowledge of the connection between Discord and FUMBBL to update the supporter badges.

Either way, thank you for your support!

Thanks for all the answers guys :)

You're all right, it's no biggie wether the badge is there or not, the support is the main thing. But like Frylen mentions, it's also about inspiring others to do the same.

I'll try to authorize it, but I'm not getting my hopes up too high.. rarely use Discord, never logged onto Patroen before or after.. haha.

.. and now I'm stuck on messaging BowlBot. How, where, what? lol
