Changes are being made! Sat Jun 01, 2013 6:35 pm
There have been a lot of new changes going on with Sims-Pets this past week or so and I truly appreciate all of you being so patient. I have taken the time to write out all the changes being made o that have been made already. I hope everyone will take the time to read this. Please feel free to post any suggestions you might have in reply to this announcement or in a new thread. And remember the forum is still UNDER CONSTRUCTION!
The Forum
Forum Layout
-Whole new layout
-New buttons!
-New Default Avatar!
-New Sidebar
-Chatbox
Default Avatar
So I made a default avatar that will show up on all new members profiles. When you upload your own avatar it will replace the default one. Avatars must be 150w x 200h pixels. If you would like the default avatar to say your name so that you do not have to worry about making one, send me a PM and I will get it made for you. I will post a picture will all the designs I have that can go toward making the avatar for you!
Background
The background is currently brown diamonds, I really wanted a spring green for the background but I wanted this design so if anyone can find a spring green background similar to this brown one I would love it!
New Categories
If you would like to see new categories made please post them for us to know and we will get them made up for everyone to use.
New Sidebar
So I thought I would try something new, but not TOO new and I added a sidebar to the forum. I think it is pretty cool, so I'd love for everyone's input on what they think about it!
Chatbox
I added the chatbox feature to the forum, it is at the very bottom below the 'who is online' section. I was going to stick it at the top but it didn't look good. I thought it would be a nice way for our online members to communicate with each other quickly!
The Website
-New layout [obviously]
-New forms for all the applications
-New Universal Registry
Layout
We are currently using a default layout on Weebly, I have been looking around for a new navigation bar background but I cannot seem to find one that will fit it perfectly. I ham terribly at designing stuff like that so if anyone can find a nice navigation bar background thing for the site I would be very appreciated in that aspect so I can take a break from all this web designing stuff for a bit.
Applications
Our applications for becoming a registry host and listed on the breeders listing has changed and are now connected to our Skydrive, which is connected to our Email. The way the applications are now, they will automatically plug all the information into an Excel sheet for us. It will make it a lot easier. We will still have to manually make the Excel tables for the Registry listings since we didn't feel the need to make an application for each different category.
New Registry
We have finally agreed to make a registry for all those breeds out there that do NOT have a registry dedicated to them. We will approve any species and breed as long as they meet the requirements and resemble the breed in real life. If you are registering a fantasy species then we will most likely approve them. This is also linked to the skydrive account and the link can be found in the update box on the mane website.
