    Smile How to Purchase PT Gifts (and receive them!!)



    **Updated info - now in post 11 How to Purchase PT Gifts (and receive them!!) **


    Pachi Points can also be used to purchase virtual 'Gifts' to send to other members. These gifts are stored in your profile and currently 7 of them will show on your details when you make a post

    To purchase a 'gift' you need to click the 'Game Room' link at the top of the page next to the 'Research Centre' this will display a drop-down menu, scroll down to the one marked 'Give Gifts'

    This opens up the Gift shop, where you can choose your gift from the selection displayed, there is a box to enter the recipient's member name and also a box for any message you wish to attach

    then just click the 'purchase' button and your gift is sent (each gift costs about 960 Pachi Points)

    Please note that there is an option at the top of the gift page to select whether or not you want the gift to be private, there has been a little glitch and gifts have been showing as private when they haven't been set as such

    If you receive a gift that is not showing to you, then click your profile and look at the list of gifts showing on your
    'vbBux / vbPlaza' tab (you can find this by clicking your User Name and you will see lots of tabs like 'Visitor messages', 'Friends', 'Contact info', etc and 'vBux/vPlaza'!!)

    There is an 'eye' icon alongside each gift, if any have a red line through them, then they are invisible, and if you wish to make them visible then just double-click the 'eye'

    Only 7 gifts are usually displayed with posts, so you can also use the 'eye' icon to select and deselect which ones you want showing for whatever reasons

    Thanks for clearing that up... I have been a power purchaser in the past and even I was unaware of the changes. I was starting to get a complex!

    Hanabi does a good job of being up to date on what is going on. Looking forward to seeing her Avatar for Christmas.

    It is strange, as a few Members have problems finding their very first gifts when I send birthday ones

    and gifts I receive mostly don't show until I make them visible, except the odd one or two, like one this morning that was visible straight away

    That's why I thought it best to post about the gifts, as it's simple to put right...

    just a quick thread bump, as I've noticed Xmas gifts are not always displaying, so if this is happening, simply go into your profile and make them visible if you want them to be

    Okay the gifts are back now.

    Does anyone want to update a little information on them? Because I know things have changed.

    I'm sure a few other members may also want to learn a little more about gifts. (and maybe the rest of the plaza)

    Thanks to whoever,

    okay, just for you here is where to currently find the gift shop!!

    along the top of the page are various 'buttons' click the one marked 'vbPlaza' it's the 2nd button along, right next to 'Forum' directly under the Pachitalk site banner

    You should now be on the 'vbPlaza' page, where you will see a whole new set of options to click on the black row directly under all the other 'buttons'

    These are various options such as 'bank', 'donate', 'lottery', 'richest users, 'history' etc etc

    For gift purchases, you need to click the 'give gifts' button, this takes you to the PT virtual gift shop!!

    here you can spend your well earned pachi points on gifts to send to other members!!

    Here you can decide if you want it to be a private gift or not (but private gifts are not visible to other members)

    click the gift of your choice from the selection displayed, scroll down to the bottom and fill in the boxes to indicate the username / member you are sending the gift too and any message you wish to accompany your gift

    then click purchase and that's all there is to it



    Do have fun exploring the rest of the vbPlaza area
    and If you have any questions, do please just ask and I'll do my best to help

    ** just another thread that goes 'bump' in the night, well daytime actually, but it sounds more apt for Halloween

    I've noticed a few PT gifts are not showing, so do go check yours and look at the instructions in above post to make them visible, that's if you want them visible of course

    If you have any problems at all, let me know, always happy to help if I can

    I notice a few gifts are not showing, if you want them to show or if you haven't a clue what I'm talking about and just want to find out more,

    then check out the instructions above, think it's round about post 11, where all is revealed
