It has to be done manually. So whenever an admin gets to it.

Note also that the "sponsor" rank for your avatar also appears to be done manually, and just because "My Account" shows you with a balance doesn't necessarily mean your avatar will be updated at the same time. (At least that's where I am--My Account shows my donation made last November but the Avatar doesn't show a sponsor rank. No compaints necessarily, just a word to the wise.)

They are using the same donation module that's available to every dragonfly user. Find it in the downloads. Once you have that you'll get a better understanding of how it's updated/reconciled.

Forum sponsor ranks have to be updated manually as well. To create an automated system would be intricate and possibly something to suggest to the forums pro developers over at myndworx.com

I've found that the staff here is a bit slow when it comes to updating forum ranks after you donate...but you have to give them a break afterall the have more important things to do such as code the cms that we all love. It would be nice if they appoint an admin to be dedicated to keeping stuff like that updated on a regular basis.

Well, one of those wonderful folks must have been watching the forums, because I now have a "sponsor" avatar. I guess I just had to ask. Thanks!

When you asked, you shall recieved. That's the concept. Nice to see you around again Ed.

Awww... noone updated mine

I know I am only new here and it is maybe too much responsibility to give to someone who hasn't "proved themselves" in the community. However, I'd just like to make it known that I would happily give my time to do as djdevon3 suggests and update peoples' donated amounts and forum ranks... so if noone else wants to do it and you feel I could be trusted with such a task; please get in touch.

Still waiting for mine to update, I think djdevon3's suggestion should be given serious consideration. Afterall, admins do have much more important things to do usually...
