Title: Supporter Email reset

Please note, due to a bug I had to reset the Supporter Email field. You will need to add it back in if your Patreon/PayPal email is different to your GOL email. You can do so here.

Additionally, for those using Patreon who don't read the updates, please see the below:

I've made a small change on the website, one to help you ensure your supporter status shows up. Originally, I manually downloaded a list of all patrons, multiple times a month (to account for delayed/declined payments) and had to manually process it.

I've been going over Patreon's updated API (which I've been waiting on for a year+) and it's much better. However, their webhook system to make this automatic when a payment goes through isn't ready yet and there's no way to test it so I would rather not risk anything until then.

From now on: each month when your payment goes through you can just head to this page (available in the UserCP under the Patreon Link) login with Patreon and it assigns you the supporter status. That's literally all you have to do.

So if you see your supporter status vanish, you can just do this. It takes all of 2 minutes and it's a really easy process. As soon as their webhook system is ready, that won't be needed.
