Why give morsbags away for free, can i sell them to raise money for charity?
No! The likelihood is that you are here because you were given a Morsbag or heard about someone getting a Morsbag. If Morsbags were only sold then they would just be like any other old ‘tote’ bag for sale. What makes Morsbags stand out from the crowd is that they are a ‘gift’, a way to say ‘Hey, have you thought about your plastic bag use, take this, no really, there is no catch – just use it and tell others!’
Why do we have to pay for labels?
Labels are actually cheaper than most other alternatives like using iron on transfer paper. We don’t profit from labels sales, all revenue goes back to covering the printing and shipping of the labels.
How do I update my pod tally?
You can update the tally of any pod that your are and admin of (if you created the pod then you are an admin of it by default). Simply click Pods on the top menu, then View My Pod/s on the right side of the Pods Page.

I was registered on the old site forum but I can not seem to log on here.

When viewing your pod, hover over the other members name (under your name) and you will see a grey ‘Admin’ appear – click to make it black and they are now Admin of your pod – they can edit the pod and any details. Please only use this option with trusted members of your pod.
I want to upload an avatar for my forum profile but can’t.
If you have a ‘Gravatar‘ then this will be displayed automatically. This is only working for some users at the moment so we are looking into it – please try this.. Log in and then hover over the top right yellow log in area again, choose ‘My Profile’. Then in the resulting profile page click ‘Edit Forum Profile’. If you get a new page with options to edit your forum details then you can upload an avatar. If you get an ‘Oooops – page not found’ then we are looking into why some users are getting this issue.
