Ganz, I got an arctic polar bear while it was the pet of the month. how do I get a priceless item?
Ganz I NEED to ask you something!! I was about to collect my free pixie pod seed from the daily activities board, and instead I got a “Purple Crystal”! I don’t know what to do with it (It comes under coupons and coins) Please help!! <3
i just learned from quizzy’s that i have “myopia”. it means you have to wear glasses. now i just did two more questions, but i already knew the answer so i did not learn anything. i just learned that an airplane is faster then a train. i know this is off topic but i love quizzy’s. hey, did you know that the name for money in japan is “yen”? i know i’m not supposed to go off topic, i’m sorry but i love quizzy’s! ;) i can’t help it. :D how do you make anamated smily’s? sorry… ;) bye! >~pop~<
popy380, you’re fine, it isn’t too off topic. To make the animated smilies I know about ( :cry: :oops:) for the first one :cry: put a colon then the word cry then another colon, and for the blushing one, you do colon oops colon. Got that? : cry : : oops : Here’s how I figure them out, I hilight the faces, and I right click, then it will say something like search web for however you make it, so for example, to make this one: :mrgreen: it says search web for : mrgreen : . Hope I didn’t confuse you too much, if I did oops :oops: JesusismyLord :) :D ;) :P :mrgreen: :( :cry: :oops: :I (those are all the ones I know)
Thank you for this wonderful rule page….I really appreciate seeing Webinzworld replying to the questions….awesome!
I have read all this before, but it was great to be reminded and to double check that I hadn’t done anything. Thanks for everything Ganz!
I really don’t like to complain Ganz, but when you receive a gift in webkinz world, it says “You’re friend has sent you a gift. Tell them thanks by clicking the button below” and grammatically, it should say “Your friend has sent you a gift.” because it is a friend belonging to you. You wouldn’t say “You are friend has sent you a gift.” So please, if you guys could fix it (not that it’s a terribly big deal) I would be happy. Sorry if you guys find it rude for me to say this, I did not mean to be rude at all. Sincerely, JesusismyLord830 :) :P :D ;)
I don’t find it rude at all! In the past year I’ve noticed a lot of stuff like that(not on webkinz) I’ve never noticed that before, but I probably will now.
Actually, it should read: “Your friend has sent you a gift.”
Agreed, that makes much more sense! -ColorColorColor
i was thinking about the username thing too
thanks. but, I would never do any of these
Thanks Ganz! before I knew this I made a contest forum that offered prizes. I’m really sorry! I told everyone that the prizes wouldn’t be great(like some food or something) But I’ll tell them I can’t do it anymore. I have also traded via kinzpost and that’s how I usually trade, But I will stop that too. Thanks for the info Ganz!
I have a question about Forums. is it like this, or is it like a chat room? becouse i’m not allowed on chat rooms, but commenting is fine with my parents.
popy380, I wouldn’t really count this this as a chat room. its very strict, (in a good way, mostly) and I think in chat rooms, unlike gw, stuff is posted as soon as you as you posted, and not checked. webkinz world might reply, but heres my guess. hope I help!~ :) :D ;) :( :| :P Misty900 :) :D ;) :( :| :P
thank you misty! i went on the forums and found out its just like commenting exept you can create your own topic! oh, and instead of signing my posts with this sign: popy380 :D: i am now signing it with this sign: >~pop~~pop~<
