Earnings banner is not updating in forum

[gogeta_god]

I have noticed the forum banner is not updating to my current/ recent earnings.

For example, right now it shows as $23.01.. I am actually at $27.62 (several days later).

Now, I have noticed a way to manually force it to update.. but it is weird.

If I delete the banner from my forum profile, save it, then go back to forum profile, re-enter it and change the color of the banner, it will update and show my current amount on all my posts. It ONLY works if I change the color though!!!

I have noticed this since starting on FC / the forum, with the only way to get it to update the above method. It never had on its own.

Now am I missing something? Do they automatically update 1 time per week? Per month? Is it possible long time members have just not noticed this, perhaps it's a new error?

Could someone please take note of their earnings on banner, then use my above method and see if the amount shown comes back higher?! Would be much appreciated to find out if it is just me.

Now obviously, this is not that big of a deal within the FC forum. It IS however, a big deal if our referral banners are behaving in the same way, as a smaller amount shown is not as impressive.

I quit worrying about how accurate it was thousands of dollars ago.

Well good for you. Thousands of dollars, so who cares.
But I have a long way to go to get to thousands. Maybe I should not care but I do.

I also found it interesting that switching the color does the trick.

I did not mean that as a comment to say you are being petty, I would probably feel the same way if I were just starting out. Please accept my sincere apologies if you took it that way and just keep on with what you are doing.

You can't sweat the small stuff!  I am sure it will change, maybe takes time for it to be updated.

I don't care what it says as long as I get the rights credits in the long run..

I don't even know how to add that banner!

I do not add my banner because I really don't want everybody to see how much (or little) I make.

Look towards the top of the forum page at the links, click My Forum Profile - Modify Profile - Forum Profile .. then look towards the bottom under where it says signature.. you'll see "Want to show off your earnings?" with a button to add your earnings banner.

Yeah, I noticed that mine had not updated yesterday too. But I think it's OK today. I don't really pay much attention usually!

[berthabutt]

 Yes, i notice sometimes my earnings banner is not quite up to date.   gogeta you are a hoot and a fresh, fun newbie to this forum!   I am sure you will do well at FC and anything else you try to do.

Well, after I posted this yesterday, I realized it had not updated. But it's all good today. Although it is indicating I have $10 so far, which is not the case, I have yet to reach $9. So not sure what that's all about!

I can understand your point gwilson, and that's totally your prerogative, however I'd just like to point out that none of us (well not me anyhow) know who you are or anything about you really! So it's not like we could take your earnings from you! So just how much have you made??!! Just kidding!!
