☃🎄 Merry Christmas, Similar Worlds! 😀
The SW Team has quite a few exciting things to announce.

[sep]

[big]• SW Gift Shop 🎁[/big]

We have finally released our Gift Shop.
This is the best time to give your Christmas gifts to your SW friends!


The store currently has 128 gifts. We will be adding new gifts in the next few days/weeks, so stay tuned!

You can send gifts as [b]Anonymous[/b], if you don't want the recipient to know who sent the gift, or send the gift as [b]Private[/b], if you don't want anyone else to see your gift.

Please remember that if you ever receive an offensive gift, you can always use the Report Abuse button to let us know about the incident.

Your most recent gifts will appear on the top of your profile.


The search box finds only users from your friends list and other users you have interacted with. For anyone else, you can go on their profiles and click "Gifts" > "Send a Gift".

We hope you enjoy our Gift Shop. [b]If you have any ideas for future gifts, please let us know.[/b] We will be listening to your suggestions, as always.

You can find the Gift Shop here: https://similarworlds.com/gifts

[big]• New Question Categories 📚🌟[/big]

Based on the suggestions from our members, we have added two new categories for Questions:

• [b]Books & Literature[/b]
• [b]Spiritually & Religion[/b]

Suggestions like these help Similar Worlds getting better and more complete.

[big]• Other Improvements ⚒[/big]

As always, there are plenty of other improvements and fixes we make as we progress:

• Notifications are now marked as read only when you click on them. "Mark All as Read" is also available.
• You can now see your Common Groups with someone else. Link is available when you go on your friend's profile Groups page.
• Blurred pictures are not unblurred when you tap them, anymore. To avoid accidental taps/clicks, we've added a "Show Image" button.
• We keep improving our protection from Spammers. Commercial profiles are not welcome here!
• We added buttons to Post a Story or Question on your profile, for convenience.
• For users that don't see Adult posts by default, you can now display Mildly Adult and Adult posts when searching posts.
• A warning will now appear on your homepage when your VIP Membership is about to expire, to give you time to purchase more VIP time.
• Lots of other technical improvements and fixes as we find or our members report to us.

---

Thank you for your support and we hope you stay with us.

We are constantly listening to your suggestions, so please keep giving them to us, as they are very important to the future of Similar Worlds.

Very kind regards,
- The SW Team

I´d like to have all gifts received displayed on my profile page...not just the most recent ones. Also, it would be good if we could make gifts public when they send it private...meaning if the receiver doesn´t have any problem making the gift public. I´d like to be able to decide which gifts to keep in sight...thanks in advance.

If I chose to send a gift privately, and it was made public, that would be the last one I'd send. I don't send gifts,,yet because I have very few coins,,but if I sent one and chose to send it privately, I'd be upset, if it was made public. It would feel like a betrayal, a breech of trust.

@ShockWave1983: That´s your problem, not mine. It could be optional...didnt you consider that? Betrayal...what a pompous word to use. I dont have anything to hide from anyone, else I wouldnt be here. All users who sent me gifts (over 47) didnt have any problem making them public, I would feel like being somewhat embarrasing to show affection to otherwise,. So, there´s more than one point of view to the issue. I´d nevr impose mine on anyone, neither would I accept others´on me.

@LadyHeartnMind: wow! Pompous?? 🤣 you seem to be taking this as a personal attack, rather than a personal preference. I'm sorry you are offended. I never suggested that you should accept my preferences. I was merely sharing my feelings on the topic.

@ShockWave1983: When someone weites to me and -I am writing to a third person...that´s weird for me. Ok? Wont reply more to your posts.

@ShockWave1983: LOL,! Ladyheartnmind blocked me because I like my privacy to be respected. Oh well, I guess it's her personal preference and I respect that.

@ShockWave1983: you are right to respect personal likes and dislikes. Not everyone is as respectful. I'm proud of you.
