| For the 5th day of our 18th Birthday Celebration... We are happy to release an update to  Passkeys! Passkeys were added to Writing.Com back in October 2002. Upgraded Members and above can create 4 to 8 digit numeric codes to allow specific individuals to access their private items. That's how they started and they've remained the same for nearly 16 years... Until now.  Today, we're announcing that Passkeys are no longer just for numbers! Passkeys can now contain any combination of letters, numbers, dashes (-) and underscores (_) from 4 to 12 characters in length. Want to use a SECRET_CODE for your Passkey? It'll work. 18TH_BDAY PARTY-TIME 123456789012 _AWESOME_ -FAR_OUT- COOL ... and on and on. Passkeys are not case sensitive... so GOOD_STUFF works the same as good_stuff. This update opens up a lot of flexibility and creativity... we hope you enjoy it! But wait... there's more! BRAND NEW EMOTICONS!  = {e:genielamp} = {e:hotballoon} = {e:hotballoon2} = {e:hotballoon3} = {e:rocket} = {e:telescope} = {e:planet} = {e:cloudgrey} = {e:cloudsnow} = {e:cloud}Enjoy! |
| Don't forget... For every order placed in "The Writing.Com Shop" during September 1-7, 2018, we will give back to you 10% of your order's total in Gift Points!* Purchase a one-year Premium membership at the regular price and you will receive 139,950 in Gift Points. Buy a 3-month Upgraded membership, and you'll receive 19,950 back in Gift Points. Buy 1 million Gift Points, and you'll receive an extra 100,000! And if you order tangible items like mugs, t-shirts, journals and more... we'll even include your shipping in that 10% back!  We're just that excited to be turning 18! * 10% back only on orders paid by credit card, PayPal, check or money orders. Orders paid with Gift Points not included. |
