Thank you, SM. Sounds like a clean fix. Appreciate your tenacity.
I want to return some Gift Points that were sent to me through the WdC Anonymous System. (It's a long story: it's a kind of refund.) If I send GPs back using the reply form, will they return to the original sender?...
Two related questions:
1. There used to be a contest I beleive was called "Say What". How can I out if it is still running and where it's located?
2. Is there a straightforward way to search for ALL contests currently active on Writing.com?
Thanks for your help.

There are a number of options for finding contests:
1. WDC Official Contests take place each month. You can find the current monthly contest by accessing the Hub (top left corner).
2. WDC also has a list of current contests that are run by members. Look for this list under Community (in the Navigation Menu on the left side of each page). Click on C...

I used to get notifications when someone would tag one of my items in their posts. The last few months, I have not been getting these notifications. There have also been a couple instances where I noticed someone tagged my handle in a forum post and I didn't get a notification...

Ok, probably easy answers actually.
You won't get notifications on [Link To User support] newsfeed posts because of the way I set those up.
We don't have tagging on in forum posts because of signatures and the general likelihood of "over notification" nature of tagging in forum posts... It's hard to remember all the things, but yeah we had briefly tried that many years ago when I fir...
I have signed in on an old alternate account, because I have been locked out of my main account, on which I consistently have a paid subscription. The system asks for my username and says it will send a follow-up to my email. But I don't have an email associated with that account. Writing.com has its own email inbox. I created the account over 10 years ago, part...

You've had this account since 2017, but I can't find any other accounts matching your information.
If you can email me a copy of a receipt for a receipt paid subscription, I can use that to look up the account username and validate the account to get you back into it. Then we can close this extra account since each person may only maintain 1 account.
Thank you for the support. Please i just want to understand what is b-item, item and book entry. Thank you.

One of my email accounts connected to an older account of mine is completely unable to receive emails from Writing.com, and I'm not sure why. I have checked my junk mail and added the necessary emails to my mailing list.
Since my password for that account has expired, I can't access that either. I have my original signup and activation code from that acc...

Greets,
There's no other accounts linked to the email address you provided on this account.
As such, I'm not able to find the username of the account you're trying to access.
If you'd like to provide that username, I'll see if there's anything I can do to help.
Will a MB go from unacquired to acquired on the checklist whether or not it counts for CR?
Before all new ones counted when I got them but now I have one pending and wonder if it will be checked off if I don't wait for CR. It would be a newly acquired MB even if I don't wait.

Thank you I can do it then. CR doesn't matter then. Yes! I got plenty of chances to gain CR but not the same with this MB.

Yes, go to the main editing screen for the item (gear icon, upper right, "Edit Item") and scroll down to the Advanced settings. Click on that to open several options, including creating a passkey. Then be sure to save the change by clicking on one of the green buttons at the bottom of that page.
Also, be sure you also have your Access Restrictions set the...
Good morning! I have a question concerning the the site hosting service I read of in the handbook for Premium Plus members. When I tried the sample link, my Malware Bytes flagged it as dangerous.

I remember having to account for singular / plural with case statements, but it's been over thirty years, so my memory of how to implement it is fuzzy.
I need to edit an item that is within a folder, along with other items. When I open that individual item, the icon that usually appears near the upper right corner of a static item, that we would normally click on to get the dropdown menu that includes "Edit Item" choice, is not there. How can I edit that item?...
My question concerns reviews. I receive them constantly, but for some reason, they all stay in my email inbox. Could you please explain how this works? Reviews are something I always want to save under the work itself because they can be helpful to other readers as well, but I can't even find a folder where they might be stored. Keeping them in the inbox is inco...

Greets,
In addition to [Link To User sybaritescribe] noting the icon to find "Reviews" for a particular item, from your "Portfolio", you can click to the "Reviews" tab, which is basically your feedback hub.
From there, you can click view all your "Received" reviews in one place. You can view all the received reviewed sorted in a few different ways, plus you can searc...
Went to check on an interactive chapter to potientally add to it, #1954188 and it seems to be missing. Is the item private? Did the author leave? Or was it deleted?

How do I return to mobile site view again?

Free members are only allowed one Notebook page. Basic members can have two Notebook pages, and Upgraded members can have five pages.
At the bottom of your page, it tells you how many characters each page can have. If you still have space available, you can just create different topics by spacing them with a few lines between topics.
With everything else, we can click on the item/post/note/etc. number and it is automatically copied, but this doesn't seem to be the case for interactives. When I click them, they seem to simply refresh the page. I don't do much with interactives, but is this what is supposed to happen? I tried to copy it the old fashioned way by highlighting it and it kept...

Well, if you don't mind, I want to know about when was the last time you decided to read an interactive, or added to one (via an undercover alias of course), for the sheer pleasure of it, and not as part of some test/CR correction?
