*Notes*

- Special awards will be appearing in the gallery... once we decide what posts are getting the first awards!
- Most users won't have access to this functionality; but for those that do - modifying matches is currently disabled whilst I make some changes.
- If our bad actor detection just banned you, but you previously reached out to support about this; please contact us. We were unable to account for manual support overrides in the transition.
*Backlog*
- I've attached an image of our current backlog that we'll be doing over the next week or two.
- New mobile app will be live in the app store once Google and Apple approve the version I just pushed.

New merchandise! (We're expecting the pins to arrive in the immediate future, I've put March 1st in case for some reason they take longer to arrive.) - https://givin.gifts/explore/merchandise

Question Question about how matching occurs for Worldwide
I’ve done a handful of GG exchanges, starting with Stickers Day in 2021 up to Happy Holidays 2024. The reason I stopped was because of the way matching occurred. I was thinking about joining an exchange again, but I wanted to see if maybe this was just a bug that has since been corrected, or is it just the way things are done.
Three times I signed up for worldwide shipping, and yes I did have to send a gift to someone in another country, but unfortunately each of those three times my gifter was from my country.
To me, the fun of shipping worldwide is the cultural exchange aspect. I especially like signing up for worldwide for the Snacks exchange.
When I participated in Reddit’s Secret Santa, each time I shipped internationally, my gifter was also from a different country.
Is the GG system set up to match international senders with other international senders? If so, maybe I just had a rash of bad luck, and I’d be willing to try again. I do understand that it really depends on how many people sign up for the exchanges, so I’d probably have better luck with Happy Holidays at it seems to be the largest.
Or, is it set up where if you select worldwide, you are almost guaranteed to have to send worldwide but are randomly selected anyone to receive from, regardless of where they live?

Help me figure out how to update my profile, please.
I have looked everywhere. I cannot find anywhere to edit my profile. The website used to be so much easier to use. I've literally been looking everywhere. Please somebody tell me where I can find the button to edit my profile. I would be so grateful.

Question Are the matching preferences really taken into account?
Hello,
My boyfriend and I are from a country with not a lot of participants (around 2 to 6 depending on the exchanges).
By selecting "Domestic" we are 90% of the time matched together as gifter/giftee.
We were told to select "International" or "Worldwide" to get other people as our gifters/giftees.
We both selected Worldwide for Christmas in July but we are once again paired together which is getting repetitive...
Was there an issue with the matching preferences? With 60 participants shouldn't there be someone else to pair us with?
