| For the 5th day of our 18th Birthday Celebration... We are happy to release an update to  Passkeys! Passkeys were added to Writing.Com back in October 2002. Upgraded Members and above can create 4 to 8 digit numeric codes to allow specific individuals to access their private items. That's how they started and they've remained the same for nearly 16 years... Until now.  Today, we're announcing that Passkeys are no longer just for numbers! Passkeys can now contain any combination of letters, numbers, dashes (-) and underscores (_) from 4 to 12 characters in length. Want to use a SECRET_CODE for your Passkey? It'll work. 18TH_BDAY PARTY-TIME 123456789012 _AWESOME_ -FAR_OUT- COOL ... and on and on.  Passkeys are not case sensitive... so GOOD_STUFF works the same as good_stuff. This update opens up a lot of flexibility and creativity... we hope you enjoy it! But wait... there's more! BRAND NEW EMOTICONS!  = {e:genielamp} = {e:hotballoon} = {e:hotballoon2} = {e:hotballoon3} = {e:rocket} = {e:telescope} = {e:planet} = {e:cloudgrey} = {e:cloudsnow} = {e:cloud}Enjoy! |

 In honor of our first day of our 18th birthday, we are happy to announce our exclusive Writing.Com "Achievements" Merit Badges! Achieve various goals around Writing.Com and you will automatically earn these special badges. How many anniversaries have you celebrated with us? How many reviews have you given? Do you post in our message forums? Then you may just have a Writing.Com Achievement badge waiting for you! Please note that Achievements are not sent automatically. You must visit your Achievements page and when you do, any Achievements you're due are claimed and credited to your account! We're doing it this way simply because there's a whole lot of folks that just have an account on Writing.Com, but don't use it a whole lot. (Not use it? Crazy? Right. I know...) The system is setup this way simply to be mindful of storage resources and not burden the Merit Badge system with a bunch of badges that aren't really needed. So... head on over to your Achievements page and claim what's yours! Along with the direct URL, your Achievement badges can always be accessed, collected, and viewed by going to My Account -> My Merit Badges. From there choose the Achievements link at the top. |
