So as a backer... I cant even see an option for an avatar, let alone any forum badges. Do I need to make a certain number of posts? Or is a time thing? Or do I need to request it somehow?
The avatar/link/BBcode/etc thing is a manual process: I've enabled them for you now. The Kickstarter badge requires a database update and I'm afraid that's not something I have any influence over: a dev will run an update at some point but it's only done on infrequent and slightly random basis...
