There are several posts and threads about it throughout TCS- perhaps you could read up on some of those and that will help explaine things a bit better!
When all else fails -just ask sweet WYAN!

Well that sucks. So who wants the points then? Cuz their useless to me. I do not want ribbons or gifts.

I like the ribbons and gifts, I don't have any ribbons, because I just don't buy stuff for me, I buy presents for others.

That's very nice to do and I'm sure there are a lot of others that will agree. But the only good I saw from the ponts system thingy is the colored username. Since that's not available to me I really don't want to participate in it.

You don't have to participate... You points will just keep adding up, but there is no requirement to spend them

I know their just virtual but why don't you spread a little happiness and send some gifts if you don't want them?. I know a lot of people have had their day made by someone sending one

You can go into your vbplaza option and undo your bold. I think the points stay spent though. No refunds at the VBPlaza!

also FYI, they way to check how your name is going to look when you bold, italicize, change color or font is to do a fake post and mess with your name, the font colors, font types, etc are the same as available when you post

hers's my name is my color, in New Times Roman font, italicized and bolded.... I had better start posting

Yeah, I spent megapoints to get my name in "Comic Sans" but it didn't change so I just wasted my points. Ah well, c'est la vie!

Looks great!! I just did mine too! I think I might want to save up and make my actual name a contrasting color, but for now I like it!

I love giving gifts!!!
That's why it's so hard for me to save up for something else.

I'm so glad you thought of that. That's been my biggest hurdle with this cause you can't preview it. Great idea!! Thanks so much!!!
Just out of curiousity - do the colors have names though? cause when you pick a color in the VB plaza I did not see any list of names or any previews and (just for example) - if I type in "blue" it can be any shade or hew of blue. How do I Know which one it is?
It still would be really nice to have a list of the colors and examples off to the side or something.

I love reading these threads - I didn't know how to change my name color, etc - didn't know I could do it as a premium member - yippee! Now all I need to do is find the time to read all the information on that thread...oh, I forgot, I'm at work - I have plenty of time!

But, seriously, I think that all the names that I see look just fine to me....whether they are basic, or premium...whatever floats your boat, let's just have a good time!

There's a new sticky in the PL if you haven't seen it- Wyan said that if it wasn't what you thought it would be that it could be changed.

yep, you just go in the color box (where the big A is, next to the font size) and click on the color, it will come up in brackets- my color is DeepSkyBlue, looks kinda like your flame color!
