If you want to upload images or text to them, you'll find that you're out of luck. Sadly, BVG didn't have to class or decency to be transparent about that.

As previously stated, we do not have any control over this. We did not make these applications, so we can't help them function. We did not make any changes to the way Paint Boards work, though.

Andrew, can we upload images to the paint boards?

We never could on the paintboards. You had to use a third party program. The frames through FB you could.

Thank you!!! :hug:

Paintboards Have Returned! I did a double take when I logged on this evening and had a few messages from friends about the boards- I got excited, thank you BVG for bringing the boards back and restored to what was originally on them, I have so so much but I did check a couple of my spots and my boards are working looks like. I was like Yes! I can now run my avatar shop again make coins, and other events used for but there is no app that I can find. I used Fiddler for awhile until it no longer worked and switched to Yoworld Art google chrome extension but it has been removed. I was hoping BVG would have their own set up source for us to image from, is this possibly in the works? Or approve one for us. Pictionary games will have to do for now (that can be fun with a group and I have missed it) but some of us are also anticipating & hopeful of getting back to imaging again, to continue creating selling events games & more. Any updates or suggestions for imaging source is much appreciated. Happy 17th Anniversary Yoworld. :balloon:

Happy with the return of Paintboards, however, not happy with the lack of being able to use Fiddler. Pointless for them to have even returned....Maybe 80%+ of us users cannot draw, let alone write on the paintboards. Using Fiddler and the Art Chrome extension allowed users to get a more personalized use out of the paintboards. Your post states that you're able to see who puts what on the board, so why not punish the ones abusing it and let the ones who use it for personalization have the ability to. I was eager to get on and play once again on a game that I have enjoyed since 2008. But have yet, been let down once again.

Thank you! :heart:

I didn't have a lot of paintboards but I did have 2 rooms I loved - one was a pet heaven dedicated to my dear cat Jack Jack when he passed. The other was a Walking Dead room :haha:

I paid a fortune for those boards. I am happy to have them back. The Walking Dead room was scrambled a bit but I managed to put it back together.

glad Opera GX worked for you too

I take this opportunity to add:

I just tried to download the extension again with MICROSOFT EDGE by searching for it directly from the browser's search engine, from there I was redirected to the extension and I managed to download it

I attach a screenshot so as to be clearer (my English is very, indeed too basic, sorry)

1. what did I type in the search engine

2.where you see the word RIMUOVI - REMOVE button there was ADD button

I hope this can help those who no longer have the extension and can't download it from chrome (finger crossed)

Ah Skull, glad you showed it can still be done. I've been only Yoing for 5 years, so I've never made Paintboard art until just now. Earlier I found a downloadable version of YoWorld Art and tried it for the first time. I got it to work with relative ease to bring in Ai Art I created. I waited to post it until now because I wanted to share a bit of details on how to use it. It's definitely doable!

Anyone interested check out the thread:

So thank you BVG. I had lots of other rooms but this one meant the world to me. :heart:

That's great to hear, thank you! And it's a good thing all those rules and warnings you are giving - they are important to have in place so thanks for that too! :phew:

Btw as a person who loves things that are glittery/blingy/sparkly - I want to say thanks for those new frames that sparkle. Very cool. :thumbsup:
