Hi Guys, The forum has now been upgraded to the latest version. This should fix a good few bugs around the site, however some will become more apparent after the next hour as I still have a lot of work to do on the skin with updates that are needed. Also I am aware that a few things are not there at the moment. Firstly being the tagging showing up on posts. They will reappear over the next hour as I update the files with the latest information.

Another update for you with the member map. If your looking for where abouts a specific person is on the membermap you will no longer need to go to the membermap itself. Simply click on the users name and you will see a small preview map of their location within their profile

A couple of updates I have put on the forum this morning. Firstly you may notice the URLs of posts etc have changed slightly. If you have any links to the site however dont worry about them as they will automatically be redirected to the correct place. Sitemap has now been added for search engine ranking Site descriptions have been updated (again for search engines) All search engine activity is now being logged and search engines are directed away from pages that should not be indexed in order to improve rankings. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY I know ya dont wanna hear about the above ones LOL ... I have fixed the youtube embedding, so now if you sim…

Hi All Earlier tonight myself and the rest of the staffing team had a conference call about ways in which to move the forum forward. We have a few things ironed out and will be making some tweaks to how things are done over the coming weeks / months. One item we are looking at are the forum rules. These will not be changed dramatically however once they have been fully reviewed we'll let you know. Over the last few days we've been inundated with messages from people and I'd like to thank you all for your support. A couple of people have been removed from the forum that have asked to be and we're now starting a new chapter. Husky Owners will not be closin…

Hi All With Chris (Madmonk) and Pete stepping down, we have approached 2 unscrupulous forum members and asked them if they'd like to become a moderator on the forum. I'm pleased to say they have both agreed! So, please welcome Storm and Elyse (Solitary Howl) to the dark side

Hi Guys, Member country location flags have now been set up on the forum. These settings have not been carried over from the old forum and therefore will need to be set if you would like it to show. You can set yours by going to "My settings" when you click on your name in the top right. Then scroll down to the "Other profile information" section.

It has been decided to put the hard limit on signatures back in place like it used to be. Any signature that is bigger than 300px in height will be cut off. It might be worth checking your signature to see if it is affected, and if it is it's probably time to slim it down. Signatures should not be bigger and more prominent visible on the page than the post you're making

Hi guys, Just to let you know the chatbar has changed. For the time being unfortunatly you cannot "popout" the chats as you could previously, however other than that it works the same. Unfortunatly the other one was causing serious issues with the uploader so had to be removed.

Hi Guys, Many moons ago the site used to have a gallery. This gallery was removed at some point down the line purely due to the fact that it was seriously resource intensive, and therefore as the site grew it became less feesable for us to have it included as one of the site features. However I have decided that there is a way we can have it back, and therefore you will now see the new gallery tab at the top of the forum. The gallery will be restricted in its allowances for members and almost unlimited for Sponsors of the site. A couple of reasons for this. Firstly if the site grows in people who want to use the full features of the gallery then those members will…

Hi Guys, So I know people have been waiting for the ability to be able to tag members on the forum. This has now returned however is slightly different than it was previously. The main reason for this is that when we had it previously with the "@" symbol to tag people this presented some problems. Firstly you had to know peoples names off the top of your head, secondly you had to remember how to spell it correctly, and thirdly it didnt always work due to the kinda usernames people have and parsing issues. And this is only the ussue part of it from a user point of view. From an admin point of view the more parsing we try to do to correct the issues, the more processin…

Hi Guys, Added these last night and completely forgot to mention them so nobody knew they were there lol. I have now added 2 new themes for site sponsors which can be selected by using the "Change Theme" link at the bottom left of the forum. There may be a small amount of work needs doing on them which I will do tonight, however for the most part they are perfectly set up now. Enjoy

Hi Guys, Just a quick note to let you's know I have now updated all the site sponsors group to be in their correct groups. I usually do not put people back to the premium group straight away if subscription lapses, however the reality is the site simply cannot afford to do this and the group is there to support the very existence of the site itself.

Hi Guys, Free to good home section has now been sorted, however will work on the basis it worked previously. Nobody can post or read what is in there unless you have 250 posts. This means its basically for members to rehome to other members should they need to do so. Previously people could post in there without the 250 and would only see their own topics, however this is no longer the case. Without 250 the section simple doesnt exist. This is what the section was originally set up for (members to members) and will now work in this way. At the end of the day we are a social site for people enjoying each others company, not a rescue. Your account will be automatica…

OK then peeps we are back online. As you can see the forum looks different and there are a lot of things missing. Dont worry I have only put the forum back online because people are waiting for it. I am still adding things (and a lot of them) at the moment so you will see things start to reappear in one form or another. In the meantime, enjoy the new forum, take a look around, enjoy posting First on my list of stuff to add: Tapatalk Forum Runner Chat bar Purely because these are things that will stop people accessing the forum or asking questions. I will update this topic as I go.

Hi Guys, Some very important information. In the next half hour I will be switching the ability for people to register on the forum off until after the downtime tomorrow, therefore if anyone asks why they cannot register then this is the reason. Also in addition to this ANY changes to your user profile from now will revert back to their current settings after the move tomorrow. This includes avatars and signatures. Therefore if you decide to change any settings, avatar, signature etc then ensure you can redo those settings when the forum is switched back online. This also includes adding/removing/moving your pin on the membermap.

Hi Guys, Would just like to let people know that Amy (siberian_wolf) will be stepping down from her moderator position on the forum due to other commitments. Amy has far too much on at the moment with her business and trying to get her photography business off the ground also and although she has asked to step down on more than one occassion I have always refused to do so on principle that without her we would not have a forum. For those who do not know Amy so much, look at the stats on the main forum. Amy has not been around very much at all now for near 2 years and is still one of the top 10 posters on the forum since the forum opened. This in itself is testament…

Hi Guys, A quick announcement to let you know of a couple of additions to the chat bar. First of all the chat room is back. There is an icon to the right of the chat list which will allow you to enter the chatroom if you wish to do so. I will be hosting a quiz in there at some point over the next week or two. Secondly you can now use the chat bar to send files to one another (up to 2mb in size) if you choose to do so. To do this, when you are talking to the user click on the cog in the top right of the chat window and click send file. Thirdly, I am in the process of enabling the chatbar for use on mobile devices. So therefore when you visit on the mobile …
