New currencies!!
Added 2020-10-05 08:19:26 +0000 UTCGood morning wonderful people! Happy Monday!
Patreon has finally allowed new currencies. Up until this point, everyone was forced to pay in US dollars (and I was paid in US dollars). No more! Adventures and Naps main currency is British Pounds, which means if you're paying from the UK it should automatically switch to your local currency.
To check which currency you are using, go to "Manage Memberships." Most UK Patreons are saying their currency has updated automatically to British Pounds but some have had to manually change it under this Manage Memberships section.
If you have any questions, please ask! So sorry to be annoying!!!!!!! The currency set-up will not be changing after this (unless Patreon change their minds... please don't do that Patreon..)

Yeah one American account was $5 minimum before (c £3.85), sterling minimum is £4.50. Taking with one hand, giving with the other I guess.

2020-10-05 08:37:26 +0000 UTCSame issue as David above. The currency changed to GBP, but left the payment at £8.50.
