Site Update

We're in the middle of working through some fixes, so if you notice things breaking, going missing or looking a little wonky, never fear! Let me give you a couple more details on what's being tweaked.

The magic bar that went missing a few months ago has been restored--which inadvertently got the Holiday Tree and Battledome links removed, but they're back!

Usable Potions
Remember all the cool potions that turn your pet into a specific coloration? You might've smashed yours in rage because they didn't have a working use option, but now they do! Right now if you use them, though, the pet genus won't update properly (aka, if you use a Bee Melo potion, you will have a male/female Bee instead of a male/female Bee Melo). So try to hold off on using those until I let you know it's safe that your poor pet won't have an identity crisis.

Forum Preferences
If you're premium or have a colored name, you might know that forum preferences are a bit wonky and have been for a loooong time.
The good news is, orange posts now work! The bad news is, I accidentally made them a barf color.
And they kinda sorta ate orange names.
But!
Those things are being tweaked and I'm currently looking more into other forum preference issues.

Lair Sorting/Grouping
By now, you probably realized that lairs are acting up and trying to sort pets is proving to be a tad difficult.
We're trying to fix the old lair sorting problems once and for all, but in order to do that, we have to break them a little. Remember how removing a pet from a group would mock you by removing the first pet in the group, but leaving the one in there that you actually wanted to kick out? That's fixed! So now we can tackle the other problems.

Locking Pets!
If you used the snazzy lock feature on any of your pets, you were probably very thankful you did when you accidentally went to visit Rogue and he tried to change your pet, because the lock stopped his powers dead in his tracks!
The lock was no match for random potions, however, which could still change your pet due to a glitch. I'm very happy to announce that this is now fixed and I spent quite a while this morning testing it out, so your customs don't have to worry about being transformed into a Loggerhead if you lock them.

Confirmation Screens
Related to the above, both the regular Ray Gun and the Lesser Ray Guns didn't have confirmation screens before zapping your active pet, but they now do!

Active Pet Display
If you don't have a Human Avatar, your poor icon, online status and name were probably covered up on the forums by your fat active pet. :C They've now been moved to a fixed position below all that information so we can see you clearly! (Might end up seeing if we can tweak the pet spot since I know there's a big "gap" for you there where the HA would normally be, but hey, it's somethin'!)


Huuuuge thanks to Aggie, who has been addressing all these issues for us while Yasu is working on his assignments!
There are many more fixes to go, but this is awesome progress.

Conservation Pets
Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about you!
There's a glitch going on right now where "special" pets are being obtained through random potions, so I want to get that fixed before I go sending out pets and mixing the legitimate pets with the glitched ones.
I'm also going to talk to Slash about possibly pulling the special pets for donation events from the Aywapedia and making them customs instead, since I know that was a suggestion.
We'll get it figured out and then let you know what's up!

SCC Species
There's a new sub-board under Pet Design Sales, called SCC PSD Sales.
Silver Species are becoming more and more popular, so we've decided to give you a space specifically designated for selling PSD uses for your species! If you have a current thread for silver PSD sales in Pet Design Sales, Pet Sales (SCCs), Misc Sales, SCC Species Chat, etc., feel free to PM a moderator to move it for you!


Okay, phew!
I know I'm late on the art gallery, so I'm going to get that up in just a bit here, and then I'll be adding some more pets to Holiday Lane. :3

I hope you guys enjoy the updates as much as I do!
