Suggestions: We don't need 3 bears and two wine glasses to choose from. Leave one of each and add some less romantic as well as neutral or masculine gifts. Many of us start with friendships first and have developed many good ones on here.
I'm also not sure why the points are all different because none look like they should be worth more than any other. I'd like to see all the points the same and the gifts varied....and changed out. That will keep it more interesting especially for those who want to send the same person a variety of gifts.
Here's an example of 7 user friendly gifts for everyone that would help start up communication between the parties.
1. flowers that should be changed every month from bouquets to single stemmed roses etc. 2. box of chocolate or some kind of candy. 3. a big Hersheys kiss to imply throwing someone a KISS (I have a great one I use to send) 4. a present wrapped up indicating a surprise gift. That would entice the receiver to investigate what it was therefore helping to begin a conversation back and forth. 5. change the wine to a bottle of wine with two glasses...to suggest a drink together sometime making that one a good choice for both genders. 6. a friendship bear. The one with the flower is cute for girl friends to send to each other and this site is responsible for creating many good friendships that we all love. 7. a coupon simply stating "yours for the day!" That would do it! Coupons are fun and can be changed out with things like..."Dinner on me", etc so either gender can send or receive them.
oh uzp,there ya go again,using ya noggin and coming up with terrific new ideas.... admin take note of this wonderful women she knows what she is talking about....

| Winks are now live and running. Posted: 4/19/2007 7:14:16 AM | Bummer, I just found this, found that I had received one, wanted to try it out and poof, no more...so sad for negativity to interupt what could have been a very sweet feature.
I think it's great that admin is trying new ways to get people to interact on a more positive and match making level. Isn't that what we are all here for? The winks make it easier for someone who may not know just what to say to still be able to show an interest.
To all you naysayers... have some fun will ya! | |

| Winks are now live and running. Posted: 4/19/2007 11:24:28 AM | WEIRD. There are two separate threads, each started by admin, so lots of duplication. I already posted on the other so I'm not going to repeat myself.
Admin is there any way you can combine these two into one?????
Setting aside that you are the BIG BOSS, just remember you can't please all the people all the time. Stick with the ability to send a virtual gift with an email for reaching out and touching someone. THANKS  | |

I thought they were great I got a couple but when I wanted to send one back they were gone | |

The newer gifts are interesting. Still not sure how much I would use most of the gifts. I guess have to see if I situation comes up that is appropriate for using any of the gifts. | |

| Winks Turned Off Posted: 4/20/2007 8:03:54 AM | the "myforum" link doesn't work now either.. winks are ok but are kind of redundant since you can email and actually type a messege to the person. | |

| Winks Turned Off Posted: 4/20/2007 8:13:31 AM | | I can't keep up with this on and off of a few things... the winks were kewl, but like dustyknight said - you can email and personally type a message to a person... | |

| Winks are now live and running. Posted: 4/20/2007 4:26:47 PM | | I am having the same issue with the MyForums link. I have figured it out. The system keeps logging me off. I have to log back in again, and then the link works. But, I have to log in every time. And yes, I have the Automatically Log In function set to on. I still get logged off automatically. | |

Posted: 4/20/2007 8:00:03 PM | Awwww I used to like it when it brought up the five most current links from different categories before you even logged in...... now it brings up sappy-met-my-soulmate stories - which are great, don't get me wrong, but I'm sure the lonely people and forum people don't like it
