I've noticed when I open a box to post a new message on a message forum, my saved signature has an addition that is not apparent in the signature blocks I have created and saved. Now there is a {sig} before any attributes I desire, and a {/sig} at the end of the saved signature.
Can anyone tell me the reason for that bit of WritingM...

I noticed that too. I don't use sigs so it stood out as odd.
When I select "Bloggers" from the Left Navigation Menu, my blog - [Link To Item #1916946] - doesn't appear anywhere in the listing. Is that because our own blogs are excluded, or is there an actual problem? Thanks for the assist!

It was set to GC and above, but I changed it to just exclude XGC. Hope that works. Thanks again!
Hello. Is there a way to make it so that an image acts as a dropnote? I think I've seen this done around the site, but I wasn't sure. So, instead of clicking text that is set as the dropnote, you'd click the image, which would then show the hidden text. Does that make sense?

I have a static item that I am not sure I understand. I created an in/out format as directed (to my best to understand it). It does work but as far as setting it so that the codes don't show, I am not clear. I wonder could you look at it. It is called Word of the Day:

I'm thinking about writing a Short Story about a missing preteen, but I don't want to write anything that is against the rules of WDC. There used to be a rule about illegal content about writing these types of stories. There is no sex, drugs, etc. used in this Short Story, but there are references to them.
Is this Short Story against the rules...

As far as I am aware, there are no rules against content of any type. You should do your very best to rate your writing appropriately, however. Here is the information you need to know to help you make that choice wisely. [Link To Item #197141]

I have a poem that I wrote several years back and want to enter it in a contest. How ever I cannot show how to get a word or line count? It does not show up in the edit box that I can find?
Like, I could give "emotional" or "experience" as a genre for my poem. But what do each of these mean? Does 'experience' mean this is about something I experienced? The poem is an allegory I would say, very roughly, for things that actually happened. Things that I had strong feelings about. Or is this all just play by ear?
I don't eve...

Absolutely! This was a for instance. Several more confuse me, but emotional and experience are the biggest questions.
With your premium membership, you can add animated and non-animated images. You can only add animated images as an image (as opposed to being able to add non-animated images to a photo album as well as an individual image.
Are there any rules on WdC prohibiting posting plagiarism? By this, I mean posting work from other writers in your own portfolio without giving due credit to the actual authors of the work they’re posting.

How can I set up a draft version for review, without specifically tracking down readers? Can I establish an automatic point delivery to encourage such reviews.

[Link To User foxtale] , are you asking about setting it up so a reviewer of a certain item gets a gp reward from you? If so, the answer is yes.

While these lists are from earlier this year, you should still be able to find some that are still ongoing concerns:
When reading the latest blog post from my friend [Link To User eager2write] , I noticed a message at the bottom of her post, where there should presumably have been an animated pic:
** Animated Images For Use By Premium+ Only **
I checked the benefits page, and it clearly says Premium members can use animated images. Does the + symbol mean "Premium and...

I meant to remove that signature and keep forgetting. I'll do that right now.
I'm making a packet of info and instructions that my friends and family can use when I die. ( Not that I'm expecting it anytime soon, just trying to be thoughtful for those I love and who love me ! )
Say I die next year, while there's still time on my account - I would want to allow someone to have it for their own use.
I'm confused on submitting a Short Shots story for a contest - it tells me to include the word count - hopefully there's a tool, or should I just try to count myself ? I'm scared I'll mess up and my entry will be disqualified. Deadline is 11:59 tonight. Thank you.
Also, I don't understand the "Survey", which serms to be the only way...
Ah, thank you SO much ! With your very good response, I was able to use the word-count tool ( love it ! ) and then I was able to find the window to enter my number. I simply hadn't been able to SEE the window, it is very faint.
Is there a way for someone to know the number of reviews they’ve done that day? Whenever I do more than 3 or 4 reviews, I get lost and can’t recall how many I’ve done that particular day. If I’m shooting for five reviews a day, I don’t want to do only four, etc.
Old member here, interested in returning. We used to be able to purchase memberships with our gift points, but I don't see an option to do this anymore. Has that ability gone away? I was hoping to make a comeback here, and I apparently have a few hundred thousand gift points I never used before I went MIA.
Is there a way to prepare a standard response for most reviews so I don’t get “overwhelmed?” I know I can just copy paste in most cases, but I thought it might be nice to have a feature where we can have one ready.
Thanks!

Premium members can create Macros, or tiny templates under the M button.
They really are handy for people with time constraints.
I have SOOOOOOO many reviews to respond to, it makes me feel guilty.

Hi, [Link To User storymaster] I was planning to buy GPs but the birthday week is approaching so I figured I wait for the discount. Do you start on Friday, Saturday, or on Sunday?

In the past bargains such as those have begun on the first day of festivities. That would be Sunday, 1 September.
I thought the limit of posts saved in my portfolio was ten? Yet I seem to have reached 13. Should I delete three. What is the limit?
