So, from now on, the number of postcards you can send will depend on the number of postcards you have already sent. This should encourage new users to (slowly) test the system, while allowing more experienced users to send more postcards.
The new limits for the postcards you can send (ie, have simultaneously traveling) are now:
- If you have sent between 0 and 19 postcards, you can send 5 postcards.
- If you have sent between 20 and 39 postcards, you can send 6 postcards.
- If you have sent between 40 and 59 postcards, you can send 7 postcards.
- If you have sent between 60 and 79 postcards, you can send 8 postcards.
- If you have sent between 80 and 99 postcards, you can send 9 postcards.
- If you have sent between 100 and 149 postcards, you can send 10 postcards.
- If you have sent between 150 and 199 postcards, you can send 11 postcards.
- If you have sent between 200 and 249 postcards, you can send 12 postcards.
- … and so on, in increments of 1 postcard for each 50 you send.
For instance, if you have sent 21 postcards, you can have at most 6 postcards traveling simultaneously to other users.
Please note that since this feature is currently being tested, adjustments to these limits may occur in the future.
Also, did anyone notice there is now a column of random little avatar pictures in each country page? Check it out on the country pages of Turkey, Spain, Brazil or China or look up a specific country on the countries’ list.

I think this is a great idea! Thank you people at Postcrossing headquarters!!
Hurray! I love this idea - I think it is well thought out ... and, yes, I did notice the random avatars displayed on the country pages :)
That scale of number of postcard allowed is great ! More postcards sent, more postcards received ^^ !
I just wonder if it won't decrease the probabiliy of receiving a postcard from a country which has not many users or casual users.
I think that's a good idea too to present randon users, and not only those who have sent the most. But is it really useful as you can't click to go to their profile ? ^^ (or maybe was it just to show avatars...)
Thank you so very much!
I love this adjustment - please keep that up!
The new changes are great:-) More than 5 at a time is wonderful because sometimes the journey of cards to faraway places take much longer. Keep it up.
Btw, "Sawubona" is ahe Zulu greeting
It is very great idea for the new limit :-)
I love it. Thank you.
Fabulous idea! Thank you very, very much!
I had to read twice to believe it!!! OBRIGADA : )
great idea. anyway, could it be possible to make the 'thank you' messages public? so that they are available to be read in one's profile, as a reference from other users...that would maybe increase the quality of the travellling cards. sometimes I receive such awful cards..:(
Uauuuuuuuuuuuu!! It is a great idea!!Thank you so much!
Great idea, I love it! :)
This means I'll become more and more addicted! :D
Thank you!!!
This is an excellent idea. The more postcards one can send, the more one can receive. Thanks so much!
I think this is great! I thank all of you !

I love the changes :)
This is wonderful! Thank you so much for all the ongoing hard work for our enjoyment! :D :D
Great ideas, and nice implementation. Thanks!
I think it's a good idea!
Let's make our community more comfortable together!!!!
This is a fantastic idea! You guys came up with a very creative way on how to solve this :)
Great idea! Thanks, but my wallet isn't so happy about this chan-chan-chan-changes!
Great new changes.:-)
Now I only miss the old feature where we could see in wich area the user lives.I miss that you cannot see anymore the whole list of users from a country and in special the region where they come from.
States and regions where so helpful for my statistics and also for playing the Bingo's at the forum. ;)
I loved!!!! And I ask for all my 10 postcards to sent!!!! I will send all until freeday :D
Congratulations big team!!!!
Awesome!
great! can now send 6 cards. yehey!!! thanks POSTCROSSING team!
I love the idea! Some cards travel fast, other slow and now I have so many on the move that I'll probably will receive/sent every day!
