Website bug fixes
Tldr: Bug in code. Caused problems for membership change and point distribution. I've fixed the code on my dev version of the website. Update coming soon. Points will be distributed to affected users.
Detail: I've noticed a bug in the website and I've been working on a fix for the bug. There was a bug in the code that was responsible for handling membership changes and point distribution. The bug prevents it from running most of the time.
So points were not distributed, along with membership changes, which meant that if a user was a silver\gold\platinum member once, they would indefinitely stay at that membership even after they cancel, unless the user manually pressed the refresh button in settings or pressed the relink patreon button. This means users could've technically get silver\gold\platinum tier items for months.
Since the bug is on me I've decided:
- not to remove items that some users have acquired. However, users will still need to be copper tier or above to have access as stated in my about page and the info page.
- to give the points to my supporters that were pledging consistently for the past year, and I've also decided to give the points as "gifted points", which don't reset.
For future reference, know that accumulated Points should be distributed around 5 days from membership join date for bronze-gold. Accumulated Points should also reset if membership is deleted/cancelled. Gifted points never reset. Going forward if you've been a member (bronze-gold) for more than a month and don't receive any points please let me know and I'll remedy the problem. I'll be updating the website sometime tomorrow and I'll be contacting affected users.
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your support.
