Gift Exchange updates and New Years party info!

[PuzzleChick]

You officially have one week from today to get your first four gifts to me or Crow! Barring emergencies, gift posting will officially begin on the 27th. You can post your final gift anytime you want on the 31st, but if you're worried about time zone issues, I'll be posting my gift before I go to work, so just wait until you see my final post and you'll know it's daytime in the US.

NEW YEARS PARTY TIMETABLE:

On New Year's Eve anyone participating in the gift exchange will reveal themselves to their giftees with their final gift. But EVERYONE is invited to our all-night New Years chat party. =3

I'll arrive at the chat sometime around 6:00 pm EST on the 31st so I'm calling that the official start time, but you can feel free to arrive early! The party will carry on from there with obligatory celebrations for anyone reaching the new year and massive amounts of crack until whenever the last person left decides to leave.

Time conversions for those whose locations I remember from last year ^^;:
6:00 pm Eastern US
5:00 pm Central US
3:00 pm Pacific US
11:00 pm in London
10:00 am (Jan. 1) in Sydney/Melbourne

Kind of sad because I won't be able to chat because my computer won't let me chat with Java. To much of a security risk.
But I look forward to posting my special gift. Question though.
What if it's over the 5000 word limit, will attatching it work as well?

I hope I'll be able to wake up from all my extreme partying and chat with you guys. Can't wait to see everyone's gifts!

Oh, and I get to talk to you guys from the future again

@ Mina: After the holidays when I have free time again I'll try looking into a program that you can use too. If you know of one, let me know. It just has to be free, not require downloads, and able to work in various countries. I'm honestly not sure about attachment limits, I've never tried attaching anything to a post before. But if that doesn't work, you can break it into two parts and do consecutive posts.

@ Samrow: Yes, tell us about the future! =D

Hang on, what's all this about attachments?

[PuzzleChick]

I think on ProBoards forums you can do an attachment, kind of like attachments on e-mail. I'm not actually sure what the purpose of the function is, (I think it's so you can make files downloadable?) but /TS/ has it, so I'm assuming we have it/can get it.

[taranova]

Ah yes. It's usually used for gaming forums and such.
I'm just going to use spoiler tags. Much easier!
By the way, when we send these to you, are we sending the files themselves or are we copying and pasting into e-mails or what? o.o -is stupid-

[PuzzleChick]

Sending the files preferably so that I can download them all at once, but for fics you can copy them into the e-mail and for art you can send a photobucket link if you'd prefer.
