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

[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 forgot to say I´d also like to have the message coming with the gift shown on the profile page, depending on the receiver´s will.
EP had a whiteboard where we could post gifts AND messages accompanying it....

I'm really hoping for a whiteboard. And a way for each of us to create our own gift shops. I had over three hundred cards and gifts in my gift shop,,before the metoo app was created and they deleted all the personal gifts and cards. They did away with a lot of good things when they created the app. Then they did away with us.

@ShockWave1983: I didnt feel anything like that. I consider myself a person, not able to be done with with something like a site...it´s up to each of us to have dignity for ourselves...EP or SW dont mean anything in my life but a place to write on. My real life is full of meaning.

@LadyHeartnMind: as is mine. But EP and SW do mean something to me. I come here to exchange ideas and thoughts with people, and they eventually start feeling like friends. Well, okay, not so much here, because I don't get much time to use Internet since my computer gave up the ghost. But on EP, I had some people I had grown very fond of. I did love the white board. It was open and public. And if this is what you meant about gifts and messages, I understand and agree. I was referring to anything I might send that I thought of as a private communication. For instance, if you sent someone a private message, you wouldn't be too pleased if they then posted it on the open forum. If you want it public, you make it public. Anyhow, that's just me. I also don't want any emails I send, being forwarded to everyone on the person's mailing list. But, again, that's just me.

@ShockWave1983: Yes, just you. I´m not posting here for anything else than giving my suggestions, not imposing anything on anyone. And wont argue about anything with anyone.
