to weigh in on the gender box thing….the last two posts in this thread say it pretty well what I think, but there is another thing related to Juney’s post. if the admins were to allow a gender box(either fill in or drop down, whatever) and had the burden of deciding whether something is an appropriate gender descriptor, well…I don’t really like the feeling of that, like what if there’s a gender label someone uses and it means a lot to them, but then there is another group of people who think this gender label makes all the transgenders look bad, and want it gone….do you see where I’m coming from with this? that’s a headache for the admins but it’s also a little bit stressful to anyone out there who takes on a non traditional or lesser known gender label to describe themselves. and I would rather avoid that conflict entirely. (if it /were/ even a conflict, I don’t think it would belong to a discussion on site policy for a petsite, it would strictly be a within-community thing for non-cis folks. if that makes sense.)

anyway we now have a lot of fancy formatting codes to use for making the petpages pretty to our own tastes, so I think it is good to leave gender designated there instead of the box. one side for technical pet info, the other side for character info. good and simple.

Just a quick note, it still says that one way pet trades require a 3 gem fee when you click on the trade history/active trades/initiate a trade page.

Oo thanks for the heads up!

Just had the worst joke/pun imaginable come to mind when thinking about the removal of the gender box….

Toothless that gif is perfectly amazing for this discussion xD

Toothless, I can’t stop watching. It’s so perfect…

*peeks in* are we gonna a heads up when the forever coats switch out?? im really excited for them but i also wanna know how long i have to pick up a lil sunbeam cutie before it becomes a lot more expensive to do so haha

Lol Toothless, I love Miles XD

Miranda:

Forever coats will switch out on the day of our Mycena anniversary, the 21st of June.  This is incidentally also the first day of summer, so the seasonal will ALSO be switching at the beginning of the 21st.  Reminders and previews of the new coats will go up a week before this change over occurs. :)

Somebody might have already asked this. If they did though, I missed it.’

If we’re getting new forever coats and the old ones are going to be in the shop, does that mean the old ones will also be available through changingshrooms?

Arintol:  I believe we decided that we would change their category to “other” so that they will be available in the changingshroom.  I’m going to double check this is what glitch and I decided on when he gets home shortly though, haha.

Edit: yes indeed ^^

Just as a heads up, it looks like the Custom Credit shop is open.  I see some purchases have already been made. ^^

Hey, does anyone know if there’s another way to forum search aside from going to this announcement to utilize it? :)

I have actually been wondering the same! :O I haven’t found another link to access it anywhere yet. Hm.

Is this it? It’s below the ‘Sticky forum threads’ next to the ‘recent posts’ link on the front page. c:

Yes, it is, thank you for your help :). Is there any way it could be added to “search” under help, too? That way users wouldn’t have to go to the default page to access it. If not, that’s fine, can always just add it on my profile.

Gah! What happened to the users online page?! Why is it suddenly alphabetized not by user number?

Oh! I just noticed that, too. Hm… wouldn’t it be better if staff’s names were on top?

Woah. I kind of liked it numbered, but I guess it doesn’t matter either way. Bit of a shock, haha.

No no… No warning, bad change. It’s always been by numbers, in all the sites I play that have an easy to find whose online list it’s sorted by numbers.

I’m glad it’s alphabetized now; makes more sense with the whole “users are a name, not a number” mentality. And it’s easier to look for people. :3

I kinda like it alphabetized too. I never know people’s numbers, but I know people’s names. :D;

I know you guys are busy, but if you find time to make a toggle between numbered and alphabetized, that would be cool ovo!

Ahh! What’s up with it now?! Little boxes around our names and all the names all lumped together? Nephy is just confused now… :(

Oh wow… I’m also confused by it now. It’ll definitely take me a while to get used to the new online list layout.

Oh um. What’s with the little dots beside our names? I’m guessing that could mean mobile? The boxes are a little harder to look at than the list version I think.

You can tell when someone was last online, too, by hovering over their names..

WHA WHAT HAPPEND TO THE USER PAGE?!?!?!

Interesting…. It seems raus that they are an activity monitor? “Last seen X minuets ago” pops up when you hover on them.

edit: ninjaed! >_<

Mm gotta say not a huge fan of the userpage right now owo

It will take a little getting used to, but I kinda like it. :D
