Hello Peter, hoping you can help, do you know how to remove the Virtual Gifts that shows up when we leave comments on fotki? thanks Bonnie (bonnie6095)
You always have good information....Thanks alot for sharring..... Fotki has made lots of changes...Some for the better......Others.....welll, you be the judge..... I have until Oct. to reup.......Still haven't decited yet.......After six years maybe its time too make a change......;)
yes, the ones on my avatar are gone but the comments on my page still have them? I guess that is beacuse these members still have the gifts? oh well...you have to pay for them now so they won't last for long. It is unbelievable...they charge a dollar for them! Feed the poor is a better way of spending money eh? Some can live a day for 1 dollar! What is wrong with leaving a nice message in a guestbook? it takes time and the gift is fast? oh well.... Have a great day Peter!!!

Yes, the cartoon characters as Mona calls them, will stay one everyone's avatar who doesn't do what we have done to get rid of them. I also prefer normal guest book messages. I sent a couple of virtual gifts just to have a go & see what they were, but normal communication is better for me. In fact I like the normal GB messaging better than Instant messaging and all that other stuff because you don't have the pressure of someone saying "answer me NOW", you know what I mean? And a dollar for that little cartoon to do what you can do for free in your GB is just silly, I can't believe people still pay for it. Some people feel bad deleting them because someone paid for them, but you pay much more for a card or flowers & they get thrown out pretty quickly. Anyway I created an album with screenshots of just mainly one per person who sent them just to cover that off.
Hi Peterooooooo! See your mssgs on my Fotki site. Thanks..Re the low wing plane. I believe they mainly use it for keeping an eye,from the air ,on the (water) bore drains to ensure all areas of the large,usually dry sheep station are getting water. Also good to watch the wind mills and 'turkey nest' tank/dams are under control. Muster time,the plane with radio,makes it quicker and more effective. As you no doubt realize, getting staff out in these outback areas is a problem so the huge stations are run with vehicles,machinery and dogs doing much of the work. Often,the children are sent away to boarding colleges with only a hand full coming back to work on the 'farm'. Some day the tide will turn and most city dwellers and politicians will find out the hard way,the rural folk contribute much more to their well being than they could ever realize. Now to step down from my 'soap box'. (Why did spruikers use soap boxes anyway. Guess kerosene tins would just crush;-)
Testing........previous message was from me, directly from my ymail page so wasn't aware of the hullaballoo re. virtual gifts - more important things (like losing rugby games !) to attend to !
O.K ! now I see the v.g. ! shall attend to it right away ! cheers !

Gidday mate ! Well well ! wins in cricket and Tri-nations ! congrats ! it was bound to come sooner than later. Now the Boks can come back to Earth and regroup for the All Blacks next week !
As soon as those virtual gifts showed up on the avatars, I have sent a message to Fotki to ask how I could turn this off again. Got the same reply as you did. Hopefully they will let us turn this childish option off soon ! greetz, m
hi mate i deleted all my vg's like loisl did. it worked to get rid of the annoying thing. you didnt send me a vg either! lol dont think i sent you one either. take care. see you next week. i am off to the fair for a week. i will check in once in awhile to see your entries.
hi peter i did what loisl said to do. i marked them all private. i can still see it on my end but, i guess no one else can see it. wonder if i just delete all the virtual gifts, if it would go away all together? good luck getting rid of them. they are annoying. have a nice weekend
