Its in the Managing & Giving Gifts section of the forum usage guide ^^

The quick answer is that if you're a Full Member (100+ posts) when you click on the Gifts tab on someone's profile there is a box to make a new gift for them.



However, it's been pointed out before that the gifts system is not really working very well (no one is giving any gifts  :ohdear: ) so we really should think of a better system and suggestions are welcome!

FWIW that might be because we didn't know how to do it :ok: I actually didn't know how to gift them until I saw this reply!

Gifts do not appear if the forum theme is Melonland 98, I noticed this when I made my account and thought there was a setting to hide/show them, but it's not there!
My browser lags pretty badly because I don't have hardware acceleration on, so I use Melonland 98 because it runs much better. Is it supposed to be that way? Or will there be a setting to change that in the future?

A real shame since I always loved seeing others gifts on the forum!

Yep this was a design choice since the 98 theme tries to remove as many unnecessary animations and gifs as possible to run better on old computers; you can still see gifts if you visit the gifts tab on someone's profile though ^^

Hey, since I read this topic, I've been coming up with ways to mobilize the gift market (that sounded too corporate) bring back gifts as a feature, because as is, I really like it  :dog: So maybe the root of the problem is not the system itself (but maybe it's a bit too hidden?  :trash: Could use some awareness I guess...), but the way we use it (or not).

Why is nobody giving gifts? Is it because we feel they have to be "earned"? Are gifts only given between friends?

So far, I've been trying to give the Gifts system some life, and here I'll detail how I did it  :cheerR: I can hope I can inspire people to come up with their own methods, and of course, feel free to copy me if you like my ways, just use your own gifs for extra flavor  :wizard:

- Little forum games like Give a Gift, Get a Gift! In which the next poster gifts something to the previous user, who requests something intentionally vague.

- Workshops! I got inspired from the "pixel art workshops" I saw in Pokémon forums and created a quick one in the Fun & Forum Games board. Basically, a workshop is a little art shop where an artist (often a pixel artist) takes in requests from other people, but the formatting is a little more in-depth as to evoke an actual shop, with waiting lists, samples... I could see this one have a lot of popularity with current pixel artist if they want to make their own pieces, but for those who aren't as good at pixel art (like me), gifting pre-existing pixels like what I'm doing also does the trick  :wizard:

- Awards that you create to gift to others! Like those little trophies and awards websites gave to eachother during the times of the Old Web. I've been gifting the "Great Posts Pacman" (it's from Pacman 2!) to people who made posts I think were cool or informative, as a token of appreciation. If you feel you're missing your Great Posts Pacman, don't worry, he's coming for you very soon  :skull:  :skull:  :skull:

:( What if I prefer the simplicity of W98 but want to see the gifts too?
