Okay, now a question about the shop. I bought a bacon, but it doesn't have a picture, just a broken icon above it in my profile (I'm not sure if that is just you working on it still or my computer needing to be rebooted again), and I also can't figure out how to do anything with it. Is there a way that I can gift that to someone? Those would be fun to give out, too, I think!

Just as a rough first opinion? Give them a few extra dollars so they can decide how to spend it on their own. Who knows? Maybe someone really does want that bacon wrapped tin foil hat.
Of course, that opens up the interesting technical question of every staff member having access to the money, and different people having different opinions on how much a good post is worth. Virtual money is nebulous to begin with, but if everyone can give any amount of it to anyone for any reason, we'll really have a mess.
By the way, I place a new annoucement on the home page about his last night but just an fyi, there is now a daily prize wheel on member prifile pages! Just scroll to the bottom once on your profiles and let the bankroll rise!!!
Let me know if there are glitches!
Oh and I have populated the gift shop a little, although I can get pictures to appear, it works! I boight a few items last night to test it and they show on my profile(without the picture).
Check it out! I will be trying to fix the image problem today(i think I just need to resize them)

Interesting feature, that spinning wheel. I have $35 in posting activity. I went to my profile for the daily spin. Apparently there is no wheel spun by Vanna White, it's just a boost to the bank balance. A bank balance, I might add, which shows $2146 for me.
Is this an attempted bribe? Did I hit it extremely lucky on the wheel? Did an anonymous admirer transfer their life savings to me? Is the amount actually in Pesos? In short,

The money won on the prize wheel appears in your wallet! Not the bank ballance! I rolled it last noght ot try it out and got 400$. Yoohoo!

And the 2000+ balance represents the 2 days at 1000 a day but from now on it will be 25$ /day as discussed!
This may have been covered, but in my ignorance I clicked on the tab in the profile which says "Daily Spin," expecting that magic would happen and I would be inestimably more wealthy. Nothing seemed to happen, and my wallet stayed the same. I tried again the next day with similar results.
Being nosy, I went to the spinning wheel plugin in the admin section and found that, in the settings, there was a provision for a multi colored wheel awarding prizes of between $50 and $400. (While this seems, at first glance, like a lot compared to the value of a post, that's another question. And one on which I don't have an opinion yet.)
So, where was the spinning wheel and my new found riches? It turns out that the wheel is located at the very bottom of the profile page, below what my screen shows without scrolling, and only shows up when you click the "Daily Spin" tab. No matter how much I clicked the tab the wheel just sat mute and motionless, refusing to dispense Hernando dollars.
Then I discovered that to start the process, one must click somewhere on the wheel itself. Having done that, the wheel spun and danced merrily, spitting out $150 which I'm saving for the cars I'm going to buy for the staff.
TEYE: It's possible that some of our members don't know how to take advantage of your fine work. If that's the case, is it time for an "All hands" PM to everybody explaining the process? If so, and you want any assistance with it, just let me know.
Respectfully, Charles

Teye, none of the pics in the gift shop show up for me. I am using the Little Empire theme. This has been a common problem in the past with different themes whenever something new was added, and Senona would go and 'tweek' something in the codig for whatever theme was having the problem.
There are times when rickster and Charles will post a pic, and all my screen will show is a little box, so I think the issue is with coding in my theme only.

Thanks for the update Nugget!
I am using Midnight Express for my theme and it is the same for me, I only see a small square...
I will see if I can edit the coding to get the pics to display!

I have Basic Theme (1) which is the shades of blue theme and the same with the broken box instead of a picture of bacon. That is for the one that I purchased in the shop to see if I could figure out how to gift it to someone. The shop still doesn't show pictures, and I couldn't remember if you said it was going to or not, but the item in the profile after being purchased still shows the broken box icon and just says "non-refundable" and nothing about how to gift it to someone. Thank you Teye for looking into it!
