Posting photos:
Alternatively: Upload your image to somewhere on the internet (a list can be found in the wiki here, and I also can recommend imgur). Once the image is uploaded, right click on the image (control-click or click with two fingers for those of you with macs), click on "copy image URL". Then in your post in this thread, paste the image URL that you previously copied between two image tags, so the result looks like:[img]your URL here[/img]
There is no "gifts sent" part this time around-PM your sent gifts to wharvey! (though feel free to post it in the thread)
Gifts Received

No.... Santa has been extremely busy behind the scenes working to get a new icon.... and other issues... names will be listed soon!
Believe it or not, I am not focusing 100% of my time to Secret Santa this year!
Patience dear!

Take it from me, be detailed, be very detailed in your description of what you want. On my first Secret Santa I was terrible, just saying the only thing I really wanted was a fly anywhere ticket. Santa actually came thru, but that's not the point, don't do that, no, no, no ... because for years after, I could count on getting that FTer who said, "oh anything is fine," or who gave the slimmest, most nothing description ever. I finally figured it out and think I now get them not for penance, but because I kill it on tracking them down, getting them something very personal and shaking their privacy comfort level to the core. Bhwahhhh Hah Hah!

I guess if you're going to go all stalker and send someone a framed photo of one of their close family members or something, that could be a little unnerving!

You've got me worried now! First year doing this and I certainly didn't want to compile a list of things I want, so have gone the opposite way a little too far and said almost nothing, which is what I may end up receiving

The framed family photo would be creepy but some light cyber research without specialized hacking skills is all in good fun.

Don't think a detailed registry list is required but appropriate examples of likes (and dislikes) is helpful. Hobbies and personal details you wish to share, e.g. pets, kids, etc. Your Secret Santa can always choose to go off-list.

OK... I just posted the first list of participants.... Icons should show up in your profiles in the next couple of days.
Several of you are not on the list because you did not complete the "application" properly. Choosing to not provide any information about yourself is one way to not be included. {sigh}

OK.... broken record here.... I will try to not say it again.
If you cannot follow the simple steps, you will not be included in Secret Santa. I am not sending out any messages. If your name does not appear on the list within a reasonable time, you can assume you are not included.
YOU MUST INCLUDE YOUR HANDLE in your PM TITLE to me.
