LOL they are fairly new... MYGIRLS started a "bud face" thread.. so i joined in with a family of buds... with the elite membership your avatar is 2 times bigger.. so they will be easier to see.. but id say its been maybe 3 or 4 days...
I dont know. I donated on July 18th and havnt gotten Elite yet, or heart anything about it. Tried to ask in chat if someone knew how long it would take, no one really ever replied but the time someone did, they said awhile.
