It’s me, Fiona, back for another round of fan mail! As always, for my past answers, click here! If you miss me, you can always head to KinzPost and send a letter or a package, and I’ll deliver it for you! Don’t forget, you can add me as a friend by going to KinzChat and adding Fiona Feathers (include the space!).
I have a question. Does Ganz pick the ads that come up on WKN? There are actually ones that are not appropriate if kids play. Some were kind of inappropriate news, a comic that said a girl had a best friend and she realized she loved him and he got another girlfriend…. Etc. If you control these, please put all age appropriate ones! – bubbashuka
Thanks for letting us know, bubbashuka. The ads are not hand-picked, but they are supposed to be age-appropriate. If you ever see an ad that doesn’t look like it belongs, please take a screenshot (Print Screen key on your keyboard, and then paste into Paint) and send it along with your country of residence to ganzworldsupport@ganz.com.
Hi Fiona, How are you? I really like to try solving recipes so I would LOVE it if we could have a tab on our docks that filters out the food and clothing that can’t be used in recipes. I have a LOT in my dock since I’ve been playing for more than 10 years so the constant scrolling for the items I need is killing me! Please can you have a word with the developers so I can get closer to my goal of solving a recipe? Thanks and have a great day! – lovlyhorses4
I’m wonderful, lovlyhorses4, thanks for asking! If you’ve tried your hand at recipes recently, you’ll find that non-ingredient food is grayed out when you open a stove, blender or sandwich maker! Hopefully that makes it a little bit easier. I’ll pass on the suggestion when it comes to the Clothing Machine.
Is it possible to give someone a deluxe membership as a gift? And if so how? – Geritafan
You can absolutely give someone a Deluxe Membership as a gift! Head over to Ganz eStore, click on Webkinz, then on Deluxe Membership. Click on the “upgrade” button (log in, if necessary) and then make sure you select the option that says “I want a code for a Deluxe Membership that can be applied to any account” — then you can give that Deluxe Membership code to whoever you want!

Yes, yes, yes!! I was going to ask if we would be getting new peek a newz furniture in the new year. It would be cool if it could be a yearly thing or something, although I don’t know how difficult that would be for the designers. And I don’t really play in the Adventure Park, but prize updates are always welcome! Great questions!
Hi Fiona! It’s great to see you now every time I send a friend a kinzpost! My question is this: Will the prizes in the Adventure Park be updated in the near future? I’ve been playing for many years and they’ve never been changed this whole time. And on the subject of new prizes, will we have a new Peek a Newz furniture theme (other than City Skyline) in 2018? Thank you very much, Fiona, for looking into this! ~ Emerald
Very good questions! Especially bubbashuka’s; I’ve gotten that same advertisement multiple times before, and was wondering if it was just me.. xP For a while, we had video ads both on Webkinz Newz and the Ganzworld Share Center that popped up at the top of the screen, and some of them were not really kid-friendly… (I haven’t seen those in ages though, fortunately..) Thank you for answering our questions, Fiona, and congrats to everyone who was featured!
Thanks! Nope, it isn’t just you! :)
Congrats on getting your question answered Bubbashuka! I didnt notice any of those ads, but I will know what to do just in case. :) Was this your second question answered in a row? If so, double congrats! ;)
Thanks! I notice the ads a lot, so I already emailed them. I honestly do not know, LOL! All I know is they feature my questions a lot, which is actually really good.
Could we ever add wacky and zangoz as our friends? Thank you Fiona!
That would be so cool!
The LAST QUESTION – I belive she was asking how to give a Membership to a person we play with on WEBKINZ . Not a real friend in our personal lives. I don’t see any way to (GIFT) a membership to another player here. YOU CAN send an ADVENTURE PARK CHALLENGE to a FREE PLAYER !! MOST have not thought of doing that.
Tinygma. I gift deluxe all the time, have been for years. You just need the players user. You also have the option of giving them the points or keeping them yourself. DF OH got tons of food now TY Hope you post on the trade forum soon.
Thanks for answering my question, Fiona! :)
Thanks for asking the question, bubbashuka! I’d like to know WHY the ads run on here may not be appropriate for minors. The very last thing any parent wants their little kids looking at. How is this tolerated by the company?
You’re welcome! Ugh, I know!! I’m still a kid, and these are, well, really ridiculous ads.
Thank you bubbashuka for your question! It’s great someone has asked that.
You’re welcome! I was wondering if they would go away after a few days, but they did not so I asked.
ooops, Sorry—I was a little incoherent on my thank you to bubbashuka! I meant to say, Your very important question is something we should all be aware of………. Yipes! (I was doing two things at once as I typed that previous post.) lol
No, it was pretty clear compared to some of my other comments, LOL! XD
Great question, bubbashuka!!! I’ve never noticed inappropriate ads, but now that your very important question is something we should all be aware of! Thank you for the answer, Fiona. Now we all know what to do if any of us encounter unsuitable ads.
Thanks, animalmatters1! I’ve seen some creepy/inappropriate-ish ones, and I needed to let them know! I am happy that she answered my question.
I too absolutely loathe those ads and have seen everything from gambling to firearms. I started using Internet Browser for Webkinz alone when I discovered that there are no ads of this kind to be found on Webkinz when playing on Internet Browser! Not one! Not only that, there are no aggravating and irritating video ads either. :-)
I can’t find any such thing as Internet Browser. Do you mean Internet Explorer? The only other thing that came up was Opera Web Browser. Using IE and no ad blocker trying to play webkinz killed at least three of my devices over the last few years, I won’t touch it. My computer is literally my only lifeline/contact with the outside world most of the time, so I can’t risk it any more. No more ads for me. So no more ad-related codes or visits to the park for me, either. sigh.
