In addition to the superb points made about accessibility, there are ways to verify phone numbers without... Using your phone. There are services available - for free - that can provide workarounds. It's a grey area fo sho, so I won't say any more about it than that; y'all know how to use Google and...

@sapphire12 I also think the same... hopefully we can work together to make it so there isn't a minority anymore, or that at least people will feel more comfortable in using a 2FA app that doesn't involve sharing directly personal info on the site. Hopefully @Ian sees this topic, I will keep my fing...

@dragrawr 2FAs is available also on desktop so that is more wide because it doesn't require a phone number to work. c: But yeah, I don't know the specific, some people still might not have such an app available... I think verify-ing should be on-site, main and side linked, without strings like phone...

@sapphire12 I do use 2FAs (linked in my previous post). I submitted it as a valid alternative (it's open source and all). Something like that would be way better than having to share your phone directly on the site like this... I used 2FAs promtly when neopets added 2FA in their site for example and...

@sinthr

Me personally:

I personally have no problems 2FA ing with my phone - pretty much all websites do this now, if I want to register for a webinar now sometimes they ask me for a contact number etc. My airline company has my phone number so they can text me if my fl...

@bunnyshadow I honestly don't care about the free CC. It irks me the wrong way that site features are restricted (and yes, it feels like blackmail) like this without giving an ALTERNATIVE. I respect your opinion, but NO OTHER SITE I play on literally offered this kind of thing... nobody else asked f...

dragrawr • 28 November 2023 at 1:26 PM

@redflipflap thanks for the ping. I joined when I was a mere 8-9 so I can understand the frustration and disappoint from users who cannot or are uncomfortable sharing their phone numbers. I think this is a topic that needs to be heavily considered by the staff~!

@megamisama90 thanks also for the...

megamisama90 • 28 November 2023 at 1:08 PM

What about verifying with two emails? I don't really have any ideas but I agree that everyone should be included in the fun we have on the site. Or maybe that one time code @sinthr was talking about?

Pings to give some ideas or support:

Personally I have no issue with sharing my phone number, at this point no one's data is truly safe online imo so it doesn't really matter. And I do trust this site enough to believe they aren't going to use my info for anything other than verification.

That said, I do find it extremely disappoin...

redflipflap • 28 November 2023 at 11:33 AM

I think this is an important topic to consider. Maybe even if just setting up an email address for this instead of providing a phone number? In my humble opinion, Eggcave is a site for all ages. Heck, I joined when I was 15! Back then, I had a crappy little flip phone that I wasn’t allowed to give o...

@suzanab I have phone now, but I'm unwilling to share it. And I think EC should respect this. Denying feature ISNT respecting this choice imo.

Please let us use at least something like 2FAs as an alternative (an open source app available on phones and pc) that doesn't require to put a phone numbe...

One year ago, sms verification (main & side linking) via entering your phone number on the site was made. This unlocked dailies and various activities for everyone that agreed to share their private info (= phone number). [u]A minority of users addressed their doubts about it one year ago, my...

senkou • 28 November 2023 at 9:35 AM

i have to agree with this idea. it is slightly inconvenient transferring ec to side accounts too (having to make a lot/shop item etc) so this would be great to tackle that issue.

new feature for 2024? 😊

kudo • 28 November 2023 at 9:05 AM

i would personally appreciate such a feature if it existed. considering the skewed conversion rate at the moment, i am quite willing to bet certain people have stockpiles of ec. it would certainly make the egg life a lot easier to have easily transferable vouchers instead of going the long mile to s...

@Ian

Bump for awareness!

After a whole year, no alternative was offered and people that don't want to share sensitive privacy data on this site or that don't have a cell phone are still left behind and denied the opportunity of partecipating in dailies. As I stated one year ago, 2FA should be...

Wow i love it!! It looks so majestic and pretty, would love to see more phoenix creatures on the site. Art is amazing too. Good luck ❤️

canada_ploos • 26 November 2023 at 6:43 PM

Yup, I’m new here. I want to see what this site beholds, seems cool. Hello everyone!

discordia • 26 November 2023 at 2:20 AM

@provo7demons
That's actually pretty cool, it is weird but we didn't have enough orange/blue themed creatures on the site.

Deleted • 25 November 2023 at 3:21 PM

@newlife I'll remember to notify next time, but even If I notify, the name gets auto bought anyways, so I don't really see the point, sorry. ;w;

I also don't see how it isn't fair... everyone has a chance to bid. Auto-buy feature adds some spice and lets people with less time get a name without h...

Deleted • 24 November 2023 at 2:25 PM

@snowywinter I think names shouldn't be unique on the site, and that people should name their creatures any way they want. Yet, the reality is different and I myself paid CC for names in the past, so... yeah. c: Thanks for the luck!

daisycat • 20 November 2023 at 5:25 PM

Is it true that organizing your cove lists was previously completed by drag and drop, and it was changed to the current numbering system? Seems like it should have been the other way around. ^^'

Any possibility of the drag and drop feature returning? It would make it so much easier, faster, and w...

heatherm19 • 17 November 2023 at 8:24 PM

@spookyfrog Welcome to Eggcave! If you need any help or have any questions feel free to ask. There is a fairly detailed unofficial Newbie Guide if you want a better understanding of the site.

discordia • 17 November 2023 at 7:59 PM

I've never had a personal problem with how auctions are conducted, really the only problems I've ever seen on the internet regarding auctions in general are people with auto-bidding bots. We must all examine why auctions exist on this site. A seller takes the risk of an item going for less than what...

Happy birthday @twinkle!! Thanks for making this site a little brighter ❤️ I hope it's a lovely day with lots of cake ^^

Here's all my random guesses xD

1. I can't tell if you mean of your cove or of the archives so I'll guess both.
Teason (of yours) and Daffolyn
2. Poppy Plains

Thanks, discordia, glad you like them! Unfortunately you have to keep the https://emojipedia.org/ site open to take advantage of them, unless you can code. But there are alot more of them that might interest people here. Being among the retired set, I never had to learn coding, so it's handy to ha...

daisycat • 12 November 2023 at 6:09 PM

Showing my support for this again. 😊

I'd imagine it to be the same coding of a shop, except simpler! No links / items are not clickable, and, no prices.

Additionally, having links at the top for various sections would be great, so players can have multiple gallery themes. Very similar to cov...

@endrolled
As mentioned, it's just a "visual" bug and you only have to complete each task once. Actually, from my experience, you can not mark off the second set, regardless of what you do.

From what I can gather, it normally only happens to individuals, not the whole site, and it's one that I...
