No more transferring Gift Points to one person and then having that person place an order to gift an Upgraded / Premium Membership or a costumicon. Members with access to give their group's Gift Points can spend them within the Give/Spend Gift Points section of their Group page. Don't forget that our current costumicon subscription period will last through January 3, 2003. Giving costumes is a great way to spread joy and cheer this holiday season while supporting Stories.Com! :: For Mac Users: Text Issue Wrapped Up :: If you're using a Mac computer, you may have noticed that text in your items and posts wraps oddly, squeezing itself into a thin column. To alleviate the problem, we've added a Textarea Wrapping preference. To set this new preference, visit your My Account page. From there, click to the Change Preferences. Look for Textarea Wrapping, set it to "Off" and submit the form to update. Your text will now roll across the page like other members! :: Reminder - Small Increase In Premium Membership Price :: Since releasing Premium Memberships in January 2002, we have added numerous features for authors and conveniences to members. Combined with a new portfolio limit that is 4 times that of the Upgraded Membership, the Premium Membership price will be increasing on January 4, 2003. Until the price is increased, members may purchase up to one (1) additional year of Premium Membership at its current price. The price changes will be as follows: Current --> Beginning January 4th, 2003 1 month $15.00 --> $20.00 (GPs only) 3 months $35.00 --> $45.00 ($15.00 per month) 6 months $60.00 --> $75.00 ($12.50 per month) 12 months $110.00 --> $120.00 ($10.00 per month) Find out more about Premium Membership ----> Invalid Item :: Stop By New Year's Eve! :: Please be sure to visit the site for the New Year's Eve unveiling of our brand new Writing.Com Logo at Midnight (EST), December 31, 2002!
