If you did not donate using the same email that you use for this site, then contact Pac. He does every donation manually so you might just have to wait, otherwise.

After a recent change, it should be added automaticly. Contacting Pac is the best to do in this situation because this might be a bug to fix.

It is done by PAC when he can get around to it, The perks from donating are not there as an incentive but as a "thank you" for supporting the site.

Hey, sorry about this. It's an error on with the automation code, I'll fix it tonight.

I've added it manually for you now. Thanks for letting me know, and for the donation :)

Phew, fixed. I had added a field to a table on my local dev version and forgot to add it in the main version, so a row wasn't getting inserted joshCJPlz

Donation work is so hard to debug, because part of the process is that PayPal sends a message to the server, so it's impossible to show an error message to the client, so I have to make it write logs. Plus, I have to spend money every time I test it. Refundable, but still a pain.

I've tried to add the donation benefits manually to everyone who might have been affected by this glitch, but if I've missed you, please let me know.

Isn't there a sandbox mode for you to enable with testing code on PayPal?

Yeah but I found it pretty unreliable; there were certain situations (can't remember which) where a real account would work and a sandbox wouldn't.
