Why do I see the message "You have X unclaimed paintings"?

Vimagi lets you create paintings without being logged in. When you save a painting and you're not logged in, the painting is unclaimed, which means the painting isn't added to your user profile. To add your unclaimed paintings to your user profile, you must log in or register an account if you don't have one already.

Vimagi associates your unclaimed painting with a browser cookie that's unique to your session. If you clear your cookies or if you switch browsers, you will no longer be able to claim your unclaimed paintings. Therefore, it's recommended that you always claim your paintings right after you create them so you don't lose forever the ability to add them to your profile.

How do I become someone's Vimagi friend?

How do I remove someone from my Vimagi friends list?

What is the v.board?

The v.board is a section on your profile page where you and your friends can save the paintings you create as well as write v.board text messages. v.board messages are displayed on your profile page and are visible to anyone who can see your profile.

What is my feed?

Your feed shows all the contents from your friends' v.boards. Your feed gives you a convenient way of seeing what your friends are up to.

You can also use the feed feature to broadcast a message or painting to your Vimagi friends by creating the message on your own v.board. When you do, your friends will see your message in their feeds.

Who can leave messages on my v.board?

Only Vimagi users who are in your friends list may leave messages on your v.board.

What web framework did you use to build Vimagi?

ErlyWeb, of course!
