As you have seen I have had a poll up for the past couple of days regarding the shoutbox and its current position on the forum, and have also been working to optimise the speed of the forum in general. The shoutbox is quite server intentive and intensive on browsers both on this forum and on the old forum. Now that the poll has been up, it is quite clear that people do not want it removing completely, and to be honest I agree with that myself. However in the same respect there are a hell of a lot of members who do not want to see it on every page on the forum, and in a lot of cases not at all. So for this reason, we have decided to compromise and rem…

Hi Guys, Just to let you guys know you may see a few changes that look unusual over the next few hours as I have a play around with some of the graphics, layout, loadtimes etc on the site and try to improve the performance of the site in general. For me at least the site seems to be loading very quickly, however some have said that it is loading rather slowly and I think this may be a difference in connection speeds. The snow animation has now been removed from the top of the forum as this will def have been an area which would slow the site somewhat, and I have also increased the reload time for the shoutbox to 1 min. I know some of you …

Thought it was about time I got a few screenshots up of what I've been up to with the sibecare program So here they are .... Most of what you see here are not just mockups. They are fully functional Wont go into it too much as I think what each screen does is pretty self explainatory, which is how I want the program to be. Simple to use and easy to understand, whilst being usefull.

As you all know, this is a family site for members of all ages to come and chat about the breed we all love so much and to make new friends. Over the past few months, we have had more and more new members joining the site that are children or young teenagers. I have therefore made some amendments to the site. You will now find members user names in Orange if they are under 16, to highlight that you are not talking to an adult. I have placed all members under 16 in a special category whereby Private Message will be moderated automatically by the system. Although we cannot view your messages, any incoming or outgoing PM’S with certain content co…

To all our fury family. I'm sorry to say that i've been speaking with Amy (Siberian Wolf) and she has had to take a back step for a while until she can resolve her issues with her pack. As you are probably aware, a few months ago she employed a behaviourist to help her and her family. Things haven't been going to well and she has fought long and hard about this decision. Coupled with this, there are other issues arising at the moment which has meant that the forum (quite rightly) cannot take a forefront in her life. The position she held on the forum will be here for her when / if she wishes to jump back into it. Amy is a very close friend…

NEW Member Maps 1 2

Member Maps Hi All, There was a suggestion made a few days ago regarding having a map where we can show where everyone is on the forum. WHAT IS OUR MEMBER MAP? The member map has been create with a program called vbgooglemaps which will allow you to pinpoint your location on a map with a pushpin. You will also be able to see other peoples pushpins on the map and hover over pushpins to see who they belong to. All pushpins are colour coded for each usergroup, so you will be able to see where admins are, supermods, mods, premium members/donators and registered members. WHERE CAN I FIND IT? If you cl…

Its been a few days since Ive been able to add anything to the site and was a little bored so I thought I would add something new to the site. You will see to the left of this post I have a flag showing where I am from. If you want to set yours you can do so by going to your settings and clicking on the profile tab. From here you will see a dropdown for your country selection. This will be mandatory for anyone that registers from now, and will also force you to choose when you change you profile next if you have not already done so. This way we will get a good view of where abouts everyone is PS:- Also added real name back on the side

You will see I have added another section to the site for Forum Tutorials. As some will have noticed, the transision to a new websites is not as straight forward for some as it is for others. So I think we are in need of some tuition for these people in order to help them get back up to speed on where they do everything as they were on the older forum software. So what I am asking, is that if you are fairly computer literate, you know how to do screenshots and post them, and you know even the simplest areas of the site that others may struggle with (maybe even newcomers), please feel free to do some of your own tutorials in that area. This will be v…

Something I am able to do with the blogs that you may or may not have known about is the ability to post an item as 'featured entry'. This means that a portion of that entry will show up above the blog entry list and be highlight above the rest as our Feature So since I have been unwell and not been doing much, I have been reading the bits of blogs people have been adding and have decided that Cathys entry on Male Wraps should be up there .. Good blog Cathy. Oh by the way, if you want to know what a dog wrap is ... click on the blogs and go see

Hi Peeps, Withe the new forum going live and there being a lot of changes happening in a short space of time, I am stuggling to keep track of bugs on the forum as they are being posted in different threads all over the place and as you can imagine I am spending more time at present changing things than I am on reading the content on the forum. SO, as a solution to this problem I have added a Bug Tracker to the forum which you will see in the links at the top of the forum. It is very simple to use (its similar to posting a thread) and is layed out very similar to the forums themselves. You will find a section in there for the forum, one for the gallery etc …

Here we are. Welcome to the new forum. I am still going around editing a few things and playing around so if you find anything you feel it out of place then please let me know. You will find the 'New Posts' button is no longer new posts, but new content. 'View New Content" can be found just under the search bar and will show you all new content including gallery images, new blogs, new posts and threads (now topics) etc. This will take some getting used to. You can set up all your preferences from the My Settings page which you will find by clicking on your username in the top right of the screen. If you click on view new content, you will see that …

Thats right guys. You can have your very own blog on the site now, as you will have seen from the blog tab above. You can create your own blogs (or multiple if you wish) from you settings under the blog tab. Once you have created a blog it will appear in the blogs section and you can add as many entries as you wish. On top of this, if there are a few of you doing the same blog, one of you can create a blog and assign other members to be editors for your blog content Have a look under the blog section as I have started a development blog as an example.
