FlyerTalk Forums Expert How-Tos and Guides

Please remember to PM wharvey both when you ship your gifts (with contents and tracking for each recipient) and when you receive your gifts (with contents and a name for your santa if possible)!

MiffSC's guide from last year for uploading pictures to FT

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

Please please please PM wharvey when you have received/opened your gifts!
Include pictures if you can-and please only link to posts once you have unwrapped your gifts!

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.

You have got me worried. Participating for first time and i provided very few details (description). Since i did not get any message may be its safe to assume i did not make the cut and resubmit ?

You will not get a message yet, either way. Look out for your name on the list in post 3 of the thread (think it is 3) and leave a bit of processing time before you start worrying....

If you want to revise your description, I think wharvey will accept a revised one.

I always have... the only requirement is that you have to resubmit the entire PM with ALL the information. I will then delete the original message.

Hopefully earlier ... I keep getting international giftees and it makes timely shipping trickier than intended!! I do love international component (and want to keep getting far away giftees), but not being keen on paying $100+ to guarantee on-time arrival usually has me flirting with the Bad Santa list.
