nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnno
i used an emoji add-on for a while, but it gave me issues, so i'm happy to have an alternative!
i mean, i'm probably not... using it, but it's nice to have that option
See about supporting paypal and I'll see about buying coins. I'm not giving my credit card information to such an unstable site.
Oooh. Taking a page from Dreamwidth's book, are we?
Mari
says
I'd like to have a better sense of what I'd be buying and for how long. How many plurk coins to blog ads? How many for more emoticons, etc.
Mari
says
And yes, paypal support
finally, moar custom emoticons
alvin
says
fiery_chicken: fair enough. we are actually using Stripe to process our payment so no credit card is stored. But we should probably be more clear about that :\
Yeah, we could definitely use more transparency.
I appreciate the coin, though, alvin.
I'm mostly concerned because Plurk has been victim to DDOSing and password leaks, not to mention the relentless crashing issues. It has gotten better over the years, and I do suppose the purchase of plurk coins
I think just getting the add-on extensions alone might be worth a couple of dollars
but I definitey would like to know how many coins per space bundle
#noperaptor
will
go to retaining the appropriate staff to make the site more reliable and stable; however, I will most likely give it a few months before I buy anything. 12ish/year for 500 emotes and no ads (and other to-be-
determined perks) is great, adn actually rather affordable. This is not something I'm ruling out.
alvin : the About page tells that one coin worths 30 days. But here it shows 40. Which one is correct? 
alvin
says
ditto. and we will be introducing more premium features as time goes. For launch, these 3 will hav eto do
alvin
says
the 40/30 discrepancy is due to the fact that our appstore app is still being reviewed (should be out next week). So we thought we will just extend it for the first month
alvin
says
anyway, we really want to align users interest with Plurk's and advertising is not the way to do it. You guys hate ad and we need ad to make money. WIth Plurk coins, user growth generates more coins which
alvin
says
give us more resources to make plurk a better place (stability, new features, better coffee machine).
I don't expect loads of perks right out the gate. I would pay 12USD/year for no ads alone, personally. I don't like ads, and being able to get rid of them on mobile is a great thing!
How do you purchase coins without activating them, however?
alvin: wow, nice! really wish Plurk stay sustainable for as long as possible 
alvin
says
fiery_chicken: not sure what you mean but if you have coins, 1 will be activated each month. you can give to others when you have more than 1 coins, but not less. Each activated coin will give you 30 days of
alvin
says
premium features.
It is good to think of ways to support your site that don't involve ads. Ads can be dangerous, since oversight of ad rotations tends to be minimal.
The ability to dig farther back in time is an interesting feature, and one where I can see why you'd need money to do it.
So you can't stockpile? That's what I was asking. Like, say, I have to go in an internet hiatus for a month or two and don't want my premium features activated at that time.
Perhaps another thing to put into consideration.
I hope you guys work on retaining staff to stabilize the site before you roll out more features (that may or may not work well).
Pteryx: That was my thought. I'd rather have the option to subscribe to/purchase something from a site than have to contend with ads that might be dangerous.
alvin
says
fiery_chicken: ah just like our karma vacation feature 
.
.
Yep! Exactly.
Also, I'm still seeing ads on the mobile app. Will this be rolled out for the official app as well?
if you could add a chatroom, that would be great
Pteryx
is
there a quicker way to get back to older plurks than scrolling back manually for several minutes?
(Also, thank you. 
)
)
Oh, I could see a use for a chatroom.
If this helps make plurk more stable it's pretty great in my book
fiery_chicken: are you using iPhone? New version is still pending review . Should be out next week
Yes, I am. Thanks for letting me know!
I'm also still seeing ads on the mobile site, but I suppose those will be gone around the same time that the iphone app updates?
bought 1 to try searching some ancient plurks. maybe it was just my Safari but I didn't get any response when keywords contain multiple characters and had to press enter to search, instead of using the button.
LARGER MY EMOTICONS IMAGE DIMENSION PLEASE. LIKE PERHAPS 1080x1080 PX OR SOMETHING!!!!!
If you add paypal I'll get some even though I currently use addons
alvin
says
Jynxed: we will add more payment options. Until then, you can also purchase coins via our ios (should be approved next week) and android apps 
alvin
says
that doesnt go through our web interface. it goes through your apple/google wallet
I'm having trouble adding emotes, but hey, the categories thing is awesome.
That seems safer, yeah.
(also haha did you see that spammer? Really? Already?)
No need more emoticon. Because, okok emoticon suit best for me. 
Anyway, thanks for adding more feature.
Anyway, thanks for adding more feature.
alvin
says
fiery_chicken: hmm weird i am not seeing ads on mobile site: plurk.com/m . can anyone coin owner verify?
Hey, they're gone! Could be why plurk was having...issues a few minutes ago. It's nice though.
Perhaps it takes more than a minute for it to register, too lol.
plurk is acting drunk on my timeline lol
Plurk is definitely drunk right now, but with the new feature, I'm not really surprised.
I hope to see less of this in the (probably mid-distant) future.
alvin did you mean to send me that second coin?
alvin
says
fiery_chicken: yea i am bribing negative comments with coins now 
I'd like to see a badge for those who've bought a plurk coin.
Lol you don't have to do that. I'll pass that coin on to someone on my list who wants to try the new features though, so thanks!
kaka
asks
Opo kui?
how will this projected revenue work in terms of smoothing out plurk's service, or will we have similar problems for a while now?
alvin
says
komikbookgeek: hopefully it will allow us to provision more servers going forward. also more resources to work on stabilization feature and etc
oh man, I'm really glad for a way to throw money Plurk's way to support the website. most of the ideas in here are really great!
I like this. Ads are miserable awful things, and a site I use daily for years, I don't have a problem giving some money to, to keep alive (and hopefully more stable). This is Good Things, way to go, Plurk..
thank you for making 500 emoticons spacing happen! <3 I love you alvin 
I have addons but ngl I am tempted with no adds on mobile since I do check plurk at times while out and about. Depending how much it would be and how long eg: monthly subscription? Might need to look into this.
I hope they'll add scheduled Plurk posts to the premium features too
And being able to search older plurks could be handy too.
alvin: that's great, thank you for the prompt response!
albion
says
wow
This is interesting! I would like to support plurk since I use it so much and it would be great if it could afford to be more stable... but I agree it hasn't been the securest site, equally
yeah, I can't support the site until there's a paypal option because like others mentioned, plurk is pretty unsecure
nothing against the site, but
I will probably be buying once paypal is added, too.
All good. We will look into PayPal. In the mean time you can also purchase coins on our android app. New iOS app should be out next week 
A minor gripe:
The plurk app thinks your link to 'plurk coin' is a link to a user, so I'm not sure how to get there and buy coins short of waiting until I'm on the computer.
Which is annoying, because I wanted to do the "buy with the play store" trick you mentioned.
A small question:
Let's say I buy coins, load up 500 emoticons, and then my car breaks down or whatever and I can't buy coins for a while and run out of coins.
talscudi: are you using iOS or android? Thanks for the coin user bug report. We will edit this plurk now
What happens to my emoticons when I go from coin user to free user?
Will I have to tediously reupload all 500 when I do get coins again?
Or will they just become 'hidden' like the 50karma emoticons if you lose that karma?
I think the faq says that it will keep them there but inactive.
Like dreamwidth does
I'm using Android!
atomiclemon: Thanks, that's exactly what I was hoping to hear. I haven't been able to read the faq cause of the link bug.
this is what it says specifically: `If the last Plurk Coin expires, what happens to my over 60 emoticons and groups?
It will remain in place! We will not remove your emoticons or group.`
It will remain in place! We will not remove your emoticons or group.`
But only the pre-set group, and only the first 60 emoticons of it, can be used until you get more Plurk Coins.
If you upgrade your plurk app to latest android version, you should see the coin purchase link on sidebar
no worries!
Oh
alvin: Not all of us have iphones or droid phones (or especially with google play services!), so that doesn't help much.
You mean, "Welcome to a way that we can take your money for silly perks!"
Well, for those of us who want to support plurk by buying those silly perks, there's nothing wrong with that.
And for the rest of you.... Don't buy them?
I wish these were gimmicky feature but they aren't. 
In an ideal world we want to provide unlimited emoticons and full history search but those requires storage and more servers SpeakTheTruth:
In an ideal world we want to provide unlimited emoticons and full history search but those requires storage and more servers SpeakTheTruth:
So we thought maybe for the cost of less than a cup of Starbuck per month we can provide them to our users
There's nothing wrong with wanting to be paid for providing a service.
Plurk needs to make money somehow in order to keep running, whether that's through ads or silly perks.
+1. You aren't forcing anyone to pay to use the site, only for added features. If they don't want the features, the plurk experience they're currently having doesn't change.
Though, speaking of "silly" perks, I think it would be awesome to have additional display name colours as a plurk coin feature. Purple, teal, maybe darker orange and pink. Nothing too eye searing.
I end up with a lot of duplicate display names on my timeline. Especially as new media is released. Having more colours might help to tell them apart since it offers more choice.
(And from a purely selfish standpoint, purple is my favourite colour.)
Announced just after I was finally driven to install an adblocker.
herophelia: now you make us want to add a bunch of silly perks just for the hell of it!
Yasss more colors! More options = less people with all the same colors in threads meaning hard to tell apart!
Honestly, a good perk I think a lot of people would pay for is the ability to keep more plurks muted
it seems like after a while older plurks unmute, and people have theorised it is because you can only keep so many plurks muted or somesuch?
if there was a way to let people keep more things muted I am fairly sure people would pay for a benefit like that!
nivisecond: They do. It's called advertising.
failaga: I...don't think it works that way. I have only ever had those superhuge plurks come back and I'm pretty sure it's to do with more idiots coming promoting them to the frontpage or some such. I mute
plurks every day, there's like 2 that have ever shown up again.
I wouldn't know how it works for sure! It's just a theory I have seen
I just know that if there was a paid benefit to do with muting/hiding things more permanently that is something I know a lot of people would want
because that is the most common thing I see wished for
Yes, but the point is that they're offering to let us choose how we pay them. We can choose to pay them through keeping the ads and foregoing the silly perks, or we can choose to pay them for the silly perks.
The ads are annoying, but they don't directly impact our wallets.
The silly perks are fun and/or useful, so I see nothing wrong with Plurk giving us the option.
I'm also holding out on spending money until PayPal is an option
People can always choose not to buy them. [/shrugs]
alvin: then my evil plan is working! Seriously, though. I honestly do believe that having more colours for people to choose from would make it much easier to tell people apart at a cursory glance.
herophelia: you have 97 friends. you seriously have that many people with the same exact name on your timeline that it's confusing for you?
SpeakTheTruth: yes, sometimes i do. I also have friends with over 200 people on their timeline, and I know they have this problem far more frequently than I do.
I'm trying to think of things that might be helpful for other users, too. not just myself.
an option to hide all whispers would be good, a lot of people in my timeline hate whispers... not necessarily premium feature, though
herophelia: I had an account with over 700 friends on it. never had an issue with duplicate names.
SpeakTheTruth: herophelia: I never had an issue with name display.. but I think grouping consecutive comments from same user can greatly increase readibiity in crowded plurks
SpeakTheTruth wow, really? I've only got 41 friends, and I've had dup names a time or two. At least two that I can think of off the top of my head. I mean, a quick hover over the name solves the problem but
SpeakTheTruth: that's awesome that you've never had to deal with a duplicate name situation, but not everyone's experience of plurk is going to be identical to yours
Just a few weeks ago I had multiple "team cap" "team iron man" and "team bucky" variations on my timeline. Please don't completely dismiss a problem just because you personally have never experienced it.
My main concern is if I choose not to buy coins because of reasons will my current Plurk continue to work as it always has it will I start seeing more problems as a way to get me to buy coins.
Three of my friends on my timeline decided to name themselves "Hawke yes", "Hawke no", and "Hawke maybe". I keep mixing them up until I hover over their name.
Being that I can't even feed my family the entire month I don't usually have money to pay for additional services and I would be heartbroken to have to leave Plurk as its my main form of
Communication with most of my close friends and role play partners.
Which isn't even as bad as actual duplicate names.
Frankly (and I realize this will probably be the most unpopular suggestion ever,) I'd love to see changing screen names become a paid-only option. I have no idea who some people on my dash even are anymore.
Boo! Haha I understand Ambular, and a lot of sites do that, but the last thing plurk needs to do right now is remove current features from their non-paying members and make them paid only
That will just upset people and make them leave the site.
That doesn't appear to be the way they're presenting it, Bastian.
There should still be free service available.
You'd just still have the ads, and none of the silly perks.
If they were to reduce the abilities of non-paying members, it would be foolish. I think you're not going to have to worry about that, MoiyaHatake.
Thank you!!!
Look, it's obvious that SpeakTheTruth is just a troll who is going to be unhappy no matter WHAT goes on. Stop engaging them. I mean, how dare people be willing to pay for things if they want to, amirite?
I just bought six coins. I don't have to buy any more if I am not impressed with them Do I?
Eyebee: I don't see why.
fiery_chicken: what I mean is it's only ten bucks to try it out for six months, so I've not had to rob a bank!
Haha true! It's not so bad, price wise
And if it turns out to be a gimmick, then....well....if £3 is a loss you can't afford, then...you shouldn't be buying plurk coins in the first place.
I'd like to get the 'discount' of buying a year's worth of coins, but I can't really justify spending that much at once either. What if there was a way to have the cake and eat it too... What if you offered
something like a contract, where I would sign something like a 'contract' that promised you I really would buy coins for a whole year, but you automatically took the money every month instead of in a lump sum?
Just a random thought, it's a really low-priority petty thing but I thought I'd put it out there.
MoiyaHatake: AmbularD: nope we won't be degrading services for users without coins. If anything extra revenue allows us to introduce more features to everyone.
Think of coins as special preview for premium features. It is our hope to eventually bring those features over to everyone but coin owners get to use them first
herophelia: you mouse over their names and it pulls up their mini profile with their static name. This is not difficult.
Dude, cut it out. The features being proposed are purely a matter of convenience. There is nothing wrong with convenience.
Nobody said it was difficult.
If people are willing to pay for convenience, why the hell not? It's their money, not yours.
I'm not a vegetarian. I love meat and eat it at every meal. But I don't pitch a fit at the grocery store if they decide to start selling a vegetarian meat-replacement thing like quorn or seitan just because
Only echoing what others have said, but here's another one not sure about this with how much weirdness and downtime Plurk seems to have...
I won't be eating it. And that is what the people going "oh my god how dare you" sound like. No one is making you buy coins.
Just because you are happy seeing ads and you don't need that many emoticons and you don't have double-names on your timeline or whatever else reason you can put forward for why you don't need coins
doesn't mean that those of us who WANT these perks shouldn't be able to spend our own money to buy them.
Or should I stand in front of the tofu going OH MY GOD WHY DON'T YOU JUST BUY CHICKEN YOU DON'T NEED THIS STUFF next time I go shopping?
Switching tracks here, I am overall feeling positive and hopeful about Plurk implementing paid features, because if they make enough money to pay and train their staff, we could possibly see an improvement-
-in plurk's overall performance, regardless of whether you're a paid user or have a free account.
Or if the problem stems from a lack of other resources, like servers, they could have enough money to buy those resources.
^^ agreed
nivisecond: EXACTLY. Yes, plurk has problems. That...is why we want to support it and help it get better.
Exactly! That's why I'm kinda stoked about getting plurk coins! (Mind I'm still concerned about security but The proxy they're using is p good)
fiery_chicken: I got mine through the play store so plurk doesn't even touch my personal deets. If you've got a smartphone that's a brilliant workaround.
I'm waiting on the iPhone update, but Alvin was kind enough to send me one.
What a lot of people seem to not understand is that you're not just paying for "perks", but for the site's upkeep
Ideally, anyway. I've had a site or two take money and not improve anything.
A fool and their money, I suppose.
fiery_chicken Yeah, there's always that chance.
but individually it's not much of a monetary risk to give Plurk a chance to see what they can do with this, so I'm going to keep my fingers crossed anyway. o/
Exactly! And I'm willing to take that risk…next payday xD
I like what I see so far
SpeakTheTruth: Why are you so desperate to make other people unhappy? Why does it make you so angry that other people might enjoy this?
talscudi: I'm actually not angry at all.
SpeakTheTruth: Oh, insecure, then. My mistake.
Do you want to talk about the way you're feeling? Maybe I could help you find a way to deal with your emotions that doesn't involve being cruel to others.
I know it must be hard to deal with things in your life, but believe it or not there are ways to cope with things! It can be really scary when the only way you have to feel good about yourself is putting
others down, but no matter how good hurting other people may make you feel in the short term, it actually causes long term harm. For yourself, as well as the people you attack.
Maybe you could find a qualified therapist in your area?
while we are talking about plurking glitches, is anyone else having trouble private plurking people?
I just PP'd someone and it seemed to go through just fine. No response from them, but I'm not necessarily expecting one.
when i go to type a username in the PP box, only five of my friends ever show up. And if I direct PP someone, it gets stuck on the select a cat part
Huh.
I checked out my PP box, and it all seems to work just fine. Typing the start of a username brought up a full list I could scroll through, and my other PP got all the way through selecting the cat.
Have you tried restarting your browser?
multiple times
and switching browsers
I have an emote question: because they're organized alphabetically, if you get a coin and then your paid lapses for whatever reason, what emotes will you have access to?
like would you have access to the original 60 you put up or would you only have access to like [aa-al] or whatever happens to fall alphabetically first
similarly, if you wanted to add a new emote would you have to delete 440 first in order to be able to add a new one?
i mean anyone who just uses the default keywords of emo1 emo2 etc probably wouldn't have this problem as much (though the adding new ones they likely still would) but I know that I like to rename my keywords
because I'll remember [ t ] a lot better than [emo36] and i don't want to be combing my list all the time whenever i wanna pull out my emote
nivisecond: talscudi: thank you, both of you. i didn't want to keep on beating a dead horse but that was incredibly frustrating. i don't understand when people are so gung ho to piss in everyone's cornflakes.
talscudi: not at all. But your insults speak more about you.
Right, just blocked that speakthetruth person, since they're more interested in being an asshat than anything else.
SpeakTheTruth: not a word of insult. I'm genuinely concerned about you.
Just ignore them ok. Nothing we can say will make them seek the help they need
Heck, my own guess is that they think they've been "helped" already and can't imagine that being a jerk to outsiders might be the antithesis of the intent behind what he's familiar with.
I think the feedback and professionalism in this plurk is great! Troll aside, naturally.
How is Plurk going to get any better without people giving feedback?
Pteryx: true
also will this revenue help the glitches in plurk like we are having now, after every update
i really hope so. if enough people buy coins for the shiny new features that make the experience more fun for them, there will be more funds for the day to day running that we can all benefit from.
If they have more staff and server space, I don't see why it wouldnt. I don't expect it soon, but probably within the next six to eight months there will be a noticeable lack of "drunkenness"
I hope so
emeralddarkness: Erm the FAQ answers this clearly. "only the pre-set group, and only the first 60 emoticons of it, can be used until you get more Plurk Coins. (If the pre-set group has less than 60 emoticons,
you can still move emoticons from other groups to the pre-set group to use them.)"
that's not really a clear answer to the question
what does "first" denote?
it first alphabetically, or first in order of upload, or something else?
I think it's alphabetically
alvin
says
mmccann: fiery_chicken: Jynxed: neverwrite: Eskiwen: neverwrite: and literally a bunch of others: we added paypal button near the end of the faq
Oh thank you! I appreciate that.
geekmonkey: yes...you can put more than 60 in one group. so what determines which of those group stay? it's a relevant question we don't have a solid answer to.
capslocking about it will not make a difference.
"only put 60 in it" is an answer to a different question than the one we have
Hmmm, i just bought a plurk coin, and i'm still seeing ads when i click a plurk's permalink
lmao you're clearly not reading what i'm saying so i could say the same to you
you're reading a lot more into that FAQ section than what it says
rathaway: hmm try to refresh your browser again. It can take a couple minutes for the setting to take effect
the faq indicates you can put more than 60 in that group. it also says only the "first" 60 will remain if your plurk coins run out.
you are super fucking mad about someone asking for clarification on something that's not clear and swearing at me isn't going to do anything
it's not gonna make the FAQ say something that it doesn't, lol
even if you think it's clear, why the hell are you so mad?
alvin: yes! Reopening my browser did it. Also looking forward to not having ads on the iPhone app. Will it remove them from the mobile view of the site (outside of the app) as well?
i mean... emotes don't actually save alphabetically anymore, tho
unless it's different with plurk coins, I haven't had a chance to get any yet, I'd assume it goes by upload order
shockvaluecola: In the new 'emoticons' menu, you can click and drag emoticons into the 'order' you want them. -That's- what determines the 'order' you're asking about!
And since they rolled out this new 'ordering' system at the same time as they added coins... It's a little confusing because they reference ordering in the FAQ, which to us is a new thing and we're left going
'whaaa????' But they don't explain ordering in the Coin FAQ because it's a separate thing that's available to ALL users now so questions like "how do I order my emoticons" don't...really....belong in the COIN
FAQ, but....at the same time, the Coin FAQ assumes you know about ordering in general.
....wow i did not know that was a thing now. o-o
Yep! Click on the add emoticon smiley, then the gear in the bottom right, and BAM, you've got orders!
oh man that's really cool
oh, nice! er, about the paypal thing. I'll grab a coin or two come friday then
alvin Having a PayPal option is great! If I could make a suggestion, though, I notice that when you click the Plurk Coin button and then "Buy Now", there is no PayPal option available. It's only in the FAQ.
Could we get the PayPal button in the Plurk Coin Buy Now method, too?
komikbookgeek I'm not sure what to tell you, then. :/
I don't know enough about how Plurk works to know what might be going wrong on your end.
komikbookgeek: Disclaimer: This is a shot in the dark from someone who wants to help but doesn't really know what they're talking about.
But it sounds like something is fucking up the way your browser processes the javascript used to make plurk function.
And that usually happens because of extensions like AdBlock, Shellfish, Disconnect, et al.
Try disabling your extensions and see if that works. If you're using Chrome, try using Plurk in an incognito window.
alvin
says
talscudi: oh yea thanks. definitely. unofficial plugins/extensions break things all the time for our users
alvin: No problem. I didn't know you were online, I figured, if I can answer, why not speak up and help?
alvin: I...actually have something much more in-depth than I'd like to talk about on this public plurk. May I send you a private plurk?
nivisecond: it sucks
talscudi: I've switched those around to
komikbookgeek: Gosh I'm sorry then, I have no idea.
Thanks for trying tho
The only other suggestion I have is to make sure you've updated whatever stuff needs updating. Windows or Flash or your browser or whatever. Complete shot in the dark, but it's all I've got at this point. :/
I belive it is.
komikbookgeek: If you don't mind posting it here, what information can you give me about your system? What's your OS, your Browser, your browser Version, and what extensions/add-ons do you have?
okay, so if you can put things in custom groups and only the first group survives i guess that answers that, but not what happens if you want to add a new emote if you've got unused emotes hanging around
Eyebee
says
OK the ads disappeared on my Mac, and Android.
emeralddarkness: Well, I am just a user making blind guesses. But I would assume that it's like Dreamwidth icons, where yes, if you had a formerly-paid account with 100 icons on it, and then wanted to add a
new icon to use as part of your 15 free icons, you would have to delete your way all the way down to 14 icons before you can upload the new one.
Otherwise what's stopping people from buying one plurk coin once, and then just using the 'move emoticons' feature to keep adding and switching their emoticons around to give them infinite emoticons for free?
Think of it like this, once you run out of Plurk Coins, you go back to being a 'free' user, and free users if they have 60 emoticons and want a new one, they have to delete one. Therefore, you should have to
delete too, otherwise it's not fair.
The "you keep your emoticons but they are unavailable" thing is just so that you don't have to reupload all 500 emoticons if, say, you have to skip getting a coin for a week cause you ran out of coins before
payday. But...now I don't mean this to say I think you're trying to do anything wrong, but... Basically what you're suggesting being able to do is asking them to build a 'backdoor' in so that people could
no, I was assuming that the 'dead' emotes would be frozen so they couldn't be moved
pay for one coin once and then be able to sneak in extra emoticons whenever they want, without paying.
Eyebee
says
I mostly don't bother with emoticons. From time to time, yeah, but not most of the time. I can't be assed. I just want to post and move on.
since dreamwidth is being used as the example, once again like dreamwidth, where you cannot rename or do anything but delete with inactive icons, and if you delete one of your actives it'll choose a random
inactive to replace it with, which means you'd have to delete all x to get back to where you can choose a new one
Once again, the FAQ answers this. If you don't have 60 in that group you can move others into it because you're allowed 60 just like any free user.
geekmonkey: I'm not sure that DOES answer it, though? Because emeralddarkness is talking about, not just moving an inactive icon over into 'active', but uploading a new one entirely. However, that does
Right no, I think you explained that part of it the way they seem to imply.
present an interesting point. If you have less than 60 icons in the 'default' group and less than 500 icons overall, then surely you should be able to upload a new icon to the 'default' group.
I was referring to the "I was assuming that the 'dead' emotes would be frozen so they couldn't be moved" comment
You may have to disable the chrome emote extension to be able to add emotes btw.

yeah, that's what i meant. If you have 500 emotes then can you delete a 'live' emote and upload a new one without having to delete 440 'dead' emotes
or if you have 60 'live' emotes and 440 'dead' emotes will deleting a live emote automatically resurrect a dead emote so you have to delete them all to upload a new one
I know that my emote needs change, and there are some who will be able to pay some months and need or want the money for other things other months
or heck, if you'd be able to delete a live emote and shuffle an inactive one into its place, just not move live ones into inactive groups, just the other way around
talscudi: What's your Win 7, currently Chrome 49.0, & ghostery, uBlock, and the plurk extension, but this happened with firefox 47 and adblock, and only my old laptop with Win10 and similar browser set up
Seriously this has been an issue for months
emeralddarkness: What you're talking about sounds like what talscudi was calling "backdoor" into getting whatever emotes you want. If you have less than 60 pre-set group, you can move others into it, and
that's it, otherwise you would be gaming the system, keeping all your lots and doing whatever you wanted, even though no more coin. If you feel you'd run out then simply set the pre-set as your "main" and
sort the rest into other groups accordingly. Problem solved.
komikbookgeek: ghostery caused issues for almost every site for me. I'm on my phone now, when I get back to the computer I can suggest alternatives.
geekmonkey: I'm so glad to hear that I'm not the only one who sees these "But what about..." questions trying to find a way to have more than
60 icons without paying smacks of trying to game the system.
talscudi: thank you, i'd like that
They should be able to handle what Ghostery does, without screwing things up.
thank you
question about shellfish - can i chose which share buttons I see?
komikbookgeek: Sadly no, it's unconfigurable all or nothing.
damn
talscudi: Yup totally. I'm willing to give a little leeway on a new thing that's not completely described in thorough detail, but there will always be some of those.

what is Ghostery?
An add-on for stopping tracking.
Can I pay to get a mute that doesn't randomly turn off whenever a plurk is replurked?

this idea.
Guys, they redid the FAQ for these. For anyone who's complaining about it being unclear, it's been re-written. And for everyone trying to find 'loopholes' for how to have more than 60 icons and no coins, they
cleared that up, too.
