Hi all, been gone for a while

When did the star recipients stop receiving forum gold equal to the purchase amount of their star upgrade?
(e.g. someone offers a $100 star upgrade, and when it's purchased, the OP gets a star upgrade and forum gold equal to a $100 purchase currently 3,250fg

I've skimmed through the recent site updates and am not seeing anything

Thanks

Not sure how long you have been gone but the process was updated in Aug 2014 as explained here https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=71294937


◦ HOW TO - PURCHASE A STAR UPGRADE
Making a monetary donation on behalf of another d2jsp user as requested with a Forum Gold incentive.
THEY gain progress toward their next star upgrade.

◦ HOW TO - PROVIDE A STAR UPGRADE
Offering Forum Gold in-exchange for a predetermined monetary donation made towards your own d2jsp account.
YOU gain progress toward your next star upgrade

Thanks for the link

I haven't done any upgrades since about 2012-13 so that makes sense

Doesn't explain why they made the change from what I mentioned above, but I guess that just means an official explanation of the rationale was never given

The method hasn't changed. You're talking about two different types of donations.

One is "Donate for me" which is discussed in Post 2. The other (the one you're referring to) is Star Upgrades which takes place in the Donor Forum
