Howdy - I bought VIP yesterday, and today I logged on to the lobby. I had the yellow star, but no badge here on forums. Does it take a bit of time? Anyway, just wanted to mention it! Thanks in advance!
It checks for VIP when you first log in to the lobby. When you signed on, you didn't have it yet, so it wasn't synced. It will sync next time you go to the lobby with VIP. Hope that makes sense.
