Gold?

Posted under Bugs & Features

I paid for gold and it never gave me it, it says i have gold status but when i try using some tags it tells me i need a gold account to access it, i've tried emailing several times but i get emails back saying they failed to send.

This seems comes up at least once a month...

Should we have a message on the account upgrade page that you need to use danbooru.donmai.us to take full advantage of your upgrade?

An error telling a Gold user that Gold access is needed is pretty misleading, so I think it would be better to adjust the “You need Gold access” error message so that it says “You need to use danbooru.donmai.us” if the user is on Safebooru and does already have Gold access.

That's a good idea. I added a fix for that in issue #3399.

Somewhat related and amusing question here: If I purchase gold how will the seller appear on my statement? Will it be Safebooru? Also, are there plans to allow Paypal? I want a membership but without being able to use PayPal I risk serious parental embarrassment with that on my statement. I'm old enough for this site but still...

Paypal doesn't want anything to do with sites containing explicit stuff so unless they change their stance, never.

I read on another thread that Safebooru and Danbooru use the same account information, and that you can use Paypal to upgrade to Gold on Safebooru and it will apply here. Do you know anything about that? I tried to login at Safebooru with my Danbooru info and I couldn't do it so I'm kind of skeptical.

Thanks for the reply! c:

All account upgrades have to be done on Safebooru, credit card or not. That’s safebooru.donmai.us, and not that other Safebooru. ;-)

I see no mention of Paypal anywhere, though. Neither here nor there, so I wonder where you heard that from. I don’t have a sockpuppet account to check if it’s just not shown to me because my account can’t be upgraded there.

Ah, OK! I was on the wrong Safebooru! Well, I guess I might have to risk using the card without PayPal then... I guess as long as it says Safebooru it shouldn't be so embarassing... XD

Thanks for the super speedy help by the way!

Glad to be able to help, I wish you luck!

The upgrade only applies to sites that have an address which ends in ".donmai.us" (danbooru.donmai.us, safebooru.donmai.us, hijiribe.donmai.us, sonohara.donmai.us). Any other boorus are run by other people and completely separate from this one.
