EFD Gifts are back!
EFD Gifts have been added to the new EFD software, and are now known as:
Anyone who had purchased EFD Gifts in the old EFD store will be receiving a reimbursement credit for those purchases, so that they can repurchase them in the new EFD Icon Shop. The prices for some of the icons have been lowered, but no icons are more expensive than in the past, so the reimbursements should allow any member to recreate their old icon set if desired.
EFD Icons can now be donated to other members at any time. Unfortunately the new system does not allow for a comment on these gifted icons, but I will look to add this feature soon. To donate an EFD Icon to another member, first you need to purchase it normally, then click the
Donate link. This page then presents a drop-down box of all currently owned icons to choose from, along with a field to enter the recipient's forum member name. Note that you can type a portion of the member name, and a list will automatically pop up with suggestions from the master memberlist, allowing for easier selection (same functionality as the forum search tool).
A new feature added is the ability to sell icons back to the EFD Icon Shop for 50% of the original price. This allows changing of your icons (for example if you upgrade your equipment in EU and want your icons to reflect the change), or to sell back any unused icons over the displayable maximum (see below). To sell back an icon, click on the
EF Icon Shop link, where you will see a
Sell link.
Another nice new feature is the ability to organize your icons in the display order you prefer, by means of a user-friendly drag and drop interface. To reorganize your icon display order, go to the
EFD Icon Shop main page, where a list of your currently owned icons can be seen and organized. Remember that only the top 20 icons in your list will be shown in threads.
**NOTE** A maximum of 20 Icons is displayed below your avatar information area (the left panel when viewing a thread) at any one time. If you purchase more than 20 icons, you will need to organize them appropriately for your desired icons to display.
A link to the EFD Icon shop has been added to the Quick Links menu in the top navigation bar, as well as in the EFD management pages.
So far I have restored the original EFD Gift icons, but plan to add more icons and more categories soon.
Enjoy!
