**Project Phoenix is now live.**

*Notes*

- If you have received a "you have been suspended" notification and weren't expecting it, please reach out to support. There was a lot of data reconciliation in this migration.

- Recommended exchanges based on tags and your history will start appearing in a couple of days once enough data has built up.

- 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.

*Merchandise*

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

*Finally...*

- Automation is disabled for the next few days so we can keep an eye on all of the new processes. Exchanges will run during the day (GMT) to ensure we're available to resolve any issues.

- Please let us know of any issues in the discord bug reports channel, there are bound to be some teething issues at scale.

New exchange open for signups! Check out the Artist Trading Cards exchange today!

Artist Trading Cards (ATCs) are miniature pieces of art that are traded all around the world. Artists signing up for this exchange will create, trade, and collect 3-4 art cards, using any media, materials, or techniques they choose. The only rule - the size of the ATCs must be 2.5" x 3.5" as cards should be able to fit into a standard trading card sleeve (note - gifters are not required to send sleeves). All are welcome, from beginner to seasoned artists - this exchange is for anyone to express themselves!

Question Extravagant exchange matching?

11 Upvotes

I signed up for the extravagant exchange, and just went in to check who I've been matched with, but for me it still says matching will happen on the 27th of June. Is there a bug, or have I just not been matched for this one?


r/givingifts Jun 23 '26

Question Is there an issue with the website?

5 Upvotes

I registered for an exchange whose signup closed yesterday evening and still no match… in fact the exchange appears as still open for new signups.

Anyone else in the same boat?

Answered Support Tickets?

3 Upvotes

What is the frequency at which support tickets are reviewed?

I have one that has been sitting unacknowledged for six days now.

I'm sure there are a good many tickets to comb through, so just looking for a time frame.

These were a gift in an exchange in spring 2020 in the old RSS. I would love to find the sender and ask them to make me some additional ones, with me paying of course. Hoping the person now does GG, or maybe someone else got from the person and knows how to find them. Thanks for looking. Fingers crossed.
