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…

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.

Hi all It's been brought to my attention that I was rude and ignored people at the last camp oh and I "couldn't give a toss" if people turned up or not. Those that have had the pleasure / misfortune (your call lol) to have met me will will I hope, know that that is furthest from the truth. We had over 100 people at both camps individually this year and I wore a hoody with my name on so hopefully people who haven't been before would know who i was. I met some lovely new faces and had some great chats, and also caught up with people i'd not seen for a while. If i failed to make you feel at home at camp i am truly sorry. I strive to make camps welcoming fo…

Hi Guys, The site has been upgraded to a new version. You will see some shiny new bits on there, and will notice some things have changed (menu structure for example). I'm still in the process of going through some changes, so you will see more bits change over the next few hours no doubt.

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

There are some updates to servers and the software going on over the next few days. If you see the site down at any point, this will likely be why. @robke will of course let me know within 15 seconds of it being offline or any issues of course The guy is like an error detection system

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.

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)

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…

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.
