I paid $50.00 of my hard earned money on donating to Iwaku. I clicked the donation button and went through the process of donating with paypal and linking my debit card. $50.00 dollars is not in my bank account as of September 19th, 2016. I have yet to have any "privileges" assigned to me or even the userbar. I don't appreciate this as a staff member and loyal Iwaku member. -.- SO, can someone help me understand why I don't have anything to show for fifty dollars?
 
Message Diana for her to give you the userbar. I know there are two ways to donate to Iwaku and one does not automatically give you Donator status while the other one does.

@Diana
I'll just tag her. PM's get lost.
Don't you think that should be clearly expressed somewhere?

It is actually supposed to tell you right there on the donations page that if you use the donation counter it will not automagically add the donator privileges. D: Apparently that got erased during the last site update because we had to switch donation managers. I apologize for that and will get that fixed ASAP.

I went ahead and added your donator privileges now.

Next time you have an issue, especially one as important as this, I would definitely appreciate a heads up a lot sooner than a month later. If possible, with a tone that doesn't sound so accusatory and assumptious. Obviously your hard earned money is VERY important and we would not want to screw anybody over that way. D: But I don't appreciate being accused of wasting someone's money over something that was an oversight and an accident, without being given a chance to even KNOW there was a problem and get it fixed.
 
I apologize if my tone was harsh in anyway. I figured I would give it a little bit and see if they showed up, and when they didn't I was starting to get a little worried. I am sorry for coming off as accusatory. I didn't mean it that way, I was just super worried. Thank you so much for doing this Diana! I just figured you were really busy and would wait to see, but when I checked earlier today and it still hadn't shown up, I panicked a little bit. :s Sorry Owlmother!
