Just wondering how long it usually takes for the star to show up?
I got confirmation of payment on 21.12 but no star so far :p

Usually less than an hour. (mine took about 10 minutes).

My profile says;

Last donation received 4 Jan 2007 11:34:42 UTC

but I still don't see a green star :(

There is also a setting on your account page to make all donations anonymous. What is this setting set to?

"Are all your donations anonymous? yes (click here to change)"

That would be a very good reason that the green star does not appear. Change this to "No", and the green star appears (if you are qualified for one).

I unchecked the 'anonymous' boxes, clicked on 'update' (a few times) but it still says

"Are all your donations anonymous? yes (click here to change)"

and there is no green star.

I see a green star beside your avatar.

EDIT: Sorry, beside your alias.

John VII is right, it takes ten minutes before appearing.

I thought the anonymous setting was to do with disclosing the donations on the University of Berkeley California publications, including names and addresses.

Can you confirm that my name and address details will not be put on some publication?

What did you answer on the donation form about that? Only you know that. Else I refer to this site.

By changing my profile setting to "Are all your donations anonymous? no" will I still be assured that my donation remains anonymous, which is what I asked for when I made the donation? And will my personal details not be publicized by the University of Berkeley California? Yes or No?

Sorry, I have no idea on that one.

Last year, as this year, when I donated I asked for it to be anonymous. The settings in my profile last year was "Are all your donations anonymous? yes" and the green star was displayed by my Name (the tag is not Alias as stated by another moderator).

Now you are asking me to change that profile setting to enable display of the green star. But you cannot confirm whether my donation will remain anonymous if I change the setting as you ask to "Are all your donations anonymous? no"

Does anyone have an idea on this one do you think? Or are you going to leave me regretting I made a donation. I'm sure people will assume that because they can't see my green star, I didn't donate. But I did donate, but my anonymity cannot be assured if I choose to display the green star.

If I can't display a green star without University of Berkeley California honoring my anonymity request, can I have my money back?

If you chose your donation to be anonymous when you gave it, the University will honor that. The SETI@home web site anonymity settings only control whether you have a green star or not.
