Just a quick heads up to let everyone know that husky owners will be moving to a new server at some point soon. So you may see the site go down for some time All done

As regulars will already know by now, it has come to the point where husky camp is no longer something that we are going to be doing as an official forum thing. This is something we have thought about, and has honestly been coming for a while. The 2 missed camps through covid, and the removal of main camp by the site we were using, has simply emphasised that fact. This and the fact we are getting to the point numbers are dwindling year on year, we have people who struggle to get about more, dogs who are getting a lot older in some cases, so even the walks at times are becoming more and more an issue. People now have children. As a history, camp started officiall…

OK guys, I know quite a few of you have been asking about next years dates for camp. The reality is, even though I know things are opening more, it doesn't actually put us in any better situation than we were in when I last posted. The rules that affect us have not changed in any way, and are not likely to any time soon. The reality is, we are still a group. We're not 2/3 people going on holiday somewhere. So with the above said, I'm going to post what the dates would be if it were to go ahead, but you need to read all of this before you decide on whether or not you want to book.

Go to the Pita Pata website https://pitapata.com/index.html and sign in to your account. Click on the far right tab "My Pita Pata". This will give you a list of your tickers. Hover over the ticker you want to insert and click on "Get clicker code" There are a series of Tabs click on Image URL and copy the "Ticker URL". Now you have to go to your settings in your Husky Owners profile. Go to Signature. and paste the ticker, (if it says you have pasted in Rich text format change it to plain text) and your Pita Pata ticker should be there.

Hi All, Just a quick heads up to let you know that for some time a revamp to the site has been in the works behind the scenes, which is almost ready to be launched alongside the updated version of our sites software. At some point in the coming days, you may see the site offline while its being updated

I will try to keep this updated as and when we know things, but Ive been asked multiple times now about camps later this year, and even next years. So to be clear, there will be no dates whatsoever for any husky camp set by us until we are 100% clear on whether it would go ahead safely. At the moment, its only from Monday that we would even be able to meet up at all in Wales (30 people max), and even then we have to social distance. Anything indoors is also only just opening. Some have only just managed to get refunds from last husky camp, let alone another one. We're not just a few people going on holiday. Like it or not we're a group gathering. To put this i…

So guys, we have a new feature on the site. Husky of The Month! Now before you say we already had that...... well ..... kinda. It was all done through posts and a manual job. Now however we have a full section dedicated to husky of the month entries and voting, which is automatically done. You will find a link in the menu for this. Please submit yourself an entry, and let us know if you have any problems of feedback. This months will be a generic photo one, so no theme Would love you take credit for this one, but all credit goes to Andy at https://doglymail.com/ who have kindly provided us with the application to do this.

I have just added giphy integration onto the site for you guys to use. This means there is now a 'gif' button in the editor you can use to look up GIFs directly from the giphy website, and add to your topics/posts

Hi Guys, Just to let you guys know, that tapatalk/mobile app, will soon be disapearing from the site. This is not to say something of this type will not return in the future, as it most likely will, however for the moment this will be being removed. If you are visiting on mobile, then you can visit the site directly within your browser, which is actually set up to be mobile friendly in any case. You can place a shortcut to that on your menu to save you going to the browser every time. If you are unsure on how to do that, please let me know and I will see if I can get some instructions together (will need to know what phone of course)

If you're looking at the site and thinking "I'm sure that section was there", you are probably correct. I'm just rearranging some of the sections on the site.

Added some caching to the background software. If anyone sees anything which looks to be out of date, or odd, please let me know. This should however just speed up the site in general.

Whilst I doubt many will have notices much yet, the community software that we are using has just been upgraded to the new version. Whilst there are many bits which have been tweaked here and there, here are the highlights that you may notice on the site Subscriptions - The 'store' we had where sponsor subscription could be purchased has now been removed, and there is now a subscriptions section at the top of the site. This has been somewhat tidied up to make it a little more user friendly for those who do wish to subscribe to be a site sponsor. There will be more work done on that over time, and more to announce with regards site sponsors Announ…

So, some of you have already noticed that the latest topic box is missing at the top of the site (yeah, I've put it back lol). We now however, we now have a better way for you to view! When looking at the site previously, you had one choice when you first came to the site. This was a list of the last 5 topics that have been responded to, and a list of all the forums you could view below them. For anything else, you are clicking around the site, selecting the activity stream or selecting 'new posts'. What we actually want to do when we visit the site most of the time is to see what is new, within the things we are interested in, right? Lets be honest, the only time…

You will notice that since the upgrade the like icon has looked slightly different. I have now finished with these, and they are ready for use Reactions Reactions are now in place of the like system. Similar to facebook, you will now be able to add a reaction to a post, rather than just clicking like. You can do this by pointing at the icon where the like button used to be, which will give you the option to select a reaction of your own choosing
