I dont understand VPlaza

Sorry I read through the Sticky on the vplaza thing but I still dont get it. Alot of people have piggies, and ice creams, and a bunch of other stuff but how do I get that? I click on everything there is on vplaza and I cant find anything that shows me all of those items!

Also, Ive heard some people mention about colored user names? Where are those and why dont I see them? PLease help!

Do you see the row above your first post that starts with "UserCP" ? In the middle of that should be "vbPlaza menu". Select "give gifts" in order to get into the gift menu

Only paying members can have colored usernames

I clicked on give gifts and it says I don't have enough points, but I see that ribbons have been purchased for 148 points, and I have over 200. Why don't they show them even if we don't have enough, so we will know when we do have enough and how much is enough?

I pay 211.66 for a gift. Those who pay under 200 are paid members.
Ribbons are a few pennies more.

Aha! That explains why I can't buy anything with my 211. It's the tax!

Yep. Even in the virtual world you pay tax. Is there a virtual Internal Revenue Service to collect it?
