New: Pay from Groups and Multi-Recipient Badges!

Greetings Members!

We have a couple great updates to tell you about that should make things a lot easier on our group leaders and other active members. Check 'em out:

  Pay from Group Funds

You can now pay for Awardicons, cNotes and Merit Badges with group funds! Just above the button to submit for confirmation, you'll find a selector box with any groups that you're able to use the funds from. The text to the left of it reads: "Use your own Gift Points or choose a group to fund it."

Please note that the awards, cnotes and badges still come from you as the sender... this new option only affects where the funds for the purchase come from. If you do choose to pay from a group, the purchase shows up right in the group's gift point log!

  Multi-Recipient Badges

You can now send the same badge to multiple recipients just by separating the recipient usernames with commas. For example, to send a badge to Writing.Com Support , The StoryMistress and Diane , you'd enter their usernames in the "To" line of the badge like this: support, storymistress, sgambill72

Badges sent using the new multi-recipient feature are exactly the same as any other badge... as if you sent them one at a time, individually.

Each badge purchase can be used to send badges to up to 5 different members. So, please be extra sure to read the "confirmation" and preview screen. You really don't want to send a typo'd badge to 5 people!

Write On,
