I have a question. I've given a couple of gifts and in the message I say something like 'From Zoey & Saki' well when I'm done and go to see the gift I gave, it comes out 'From Zoey & Saki' or something weird like that.
Any idea why or how to fix that?

I have noticed that, it also happens with PM's for people's user titles, but not if you view their usertitle in a regular thread

I tried to give a gift last night since I have enough points and waited until today again and it still says the item you are trying to purchase is currently out of stock.

You need to be quicker


The store is restocked a few times a day but they go pretty quickly. You just have to keep checking back, on a holiday like today they go even quicker

If you click on vPlaza Main Menu and scroll down to the box that says Misc Options, it will bring up the Buy Gifts button and beside that tell you how many gifts are left

I noticed it is also doing it in the user title (not name) when reading PMs so I think it has something to do with the PM pages etc

I have 210 points available plus 900+ in the bank. When I go into the vbPlaza to buy a gift it says I don't have enough points. Huh? I thought each gift cost 200 points??? What am I doing wrong?

That's right. But the fonts and colours offered are the same ones that are available for use in posts, so you can start a dummy post and experiment with the fonts and colours to see what you like. Remember to pay attention to the name of the colour or font as it appears in the code, so that you get the same thing when you order your vbplaza features.

I'm not sure, but I think the & has something to do with HTML coding or something like that. It happens sometimes when I get stuff sent to my Yahoo.com mailbox too. It usually happens with punctuation and symbols.
Of course, I could be full of beans too....

Thank you for the star!!!

I have noticed that when viewing users profiles, they have a lot more than 20 gifts, however that's all that shows up on their posts. Is 20 the limit that appears on their posts? Can that number be changed?

20 is the limit for the postbit, but gifts will stay in your history as long you don't delete them.

I'm probably being a dunce here, but I can't find any info regarding the whole bank thing.


I'm assuming that if you deposit points in your bank account, you will earn interest?
And if you start to get low in points, can you take some from your bank account at any time you want to buy gifts?

That is correct. You will get some interest (2%) on points in the bank and you do need to withdraw them before spending.

Several times, I've into vbPlaza, taken the time to choose a gift for a member, then when I tried to buy it, I discovered that I forgot to make spending points available and have to start over.
One would hope that I would learn....
but nooooooo.
