Donation question, perks don't seem to have activated for me.

Hello mods, I'm so sorry to trouble you and I hate to have to reach out to you -

I just made an admittedly modest $20 donation to start out with, as I'd been lurking here and decided the site suits me, and joined. Figured the donation was well deserved after all the visits I'd made here prior.

I'd love to be able to get the perks that come with the donation, though and that didn't seem to happen - does that just take time to propagate through the system?

I still see ads, and I can't edit my title. Thanks in advance!

Give them a couple of days.

If you go near the top of the page, click 'User CP', then 'Edit Options', you should see the option to turn off site ads and edit your title.

Hmmm your badge is showing, so that's a start. The ads is a setting you have to actually set it to off. if you go to User CP/Edit Options and scroll to the very bottom, do you see the donor options section?

edit: Allen was quicker

Tony.

Thank you all! That's what it was - I didn't know (or didn't study up) on how to modify the options. Shame on me. I kept clicking the link to the right of the ad at the top of my page instead. Thank you all for your help!
