I'm sure all of you have noticed a few changes around here lately :) We've been working on some new features, as well as modifying existing ones!
First, Kennel Sorting! You can now create "groups" within your kennel for easier sorting of your pups. On your kennel page, there's a new link at the top called "Manage My Kennels". You can create and demolish kennels on this page. All of the rules and associated fees are also located on this page! Keep in mind that kennels will appear in the order you create them (the first you create will appear at the top of your My Kennel page, as well as in the newly sorted drop down boxes!).
Also added to the Kennel page are two new buttons. Use these to "Hide All Markings" or "Show All Markings" for the dogs in your kennel :D This feature is available for upgrades only. The default for markings has also been adjusted--dog profiles will show unless you tick the box to hide them on the dog's profile! (Note that Dog Notes are hidden by default.)
Next, the new Merchant Upgrade! This can be purchased on the Bones Exchange page by simply selecting the correct option in the drop down and exchanging 15 Bones for the feature! The Merchant Perk grants you 15% of all main store items, two free Shop Readers each month (one on the 1st and one on the 15th), you won't have to pay to post adverts, and you can list two additional adverts per six hour period!
We've also updated the drop down menu on the Bones Exchange page to be more in tune with the current economy. This means an increased rate at which you can buy game currency, more breedings earned per Bone, as well as an increase in the cost of the perks. Additionally, the forever upgrade option is available again for the month of October for 75 Bones :)
I'm sure a lot of you also noticed that you now have an advert on your side bar. This was moved from the top of the page and is now visible for everybody, including upgrades. This was not a mistake or an error in coding; this new advert is needed to help cover the costs of hosting, as donations last month didn't seem to cover it all.
Did we forget anything? Eep! I hope not! Oopsie, apparently I did XD Don't forget to go vote in the new poll! This one is about what dog to release next :D
As always, With all our love

Yay, More Updates!

"And I guess that only because some breeds aren't in the poll for now, it doesn't mean they won't ever be added." -> Pardon, that sentence made absolutely no sense. xD I meant that breeds that are not in the current poll can still be added in the future. C:

I was rather surprised when I saw that there are only 3 options in the breed poll this time, allthough I don't see a problem with it. I think the fact alone that a new breed is gonna be added is really awesome, and if people like neither of the breeds in the poll...well, nobody forces them to vote, neither do they have to own dogs of the winning breed in the future. They can just relax and watch the voting war. And I guess that only because some breeds aren't in the poll for now, it doesn't mean they won't ever be added. I'm sure they'll have their turn in the future. :D<br /> I really hope that Catahoulas will win. Last time when they had a breed poll, I'd even have preferred Catas over Pitbulls. Only my opinion, though. I just love the colors and patterns of the Catas, they're sooo pretty.C:

I would have loved to see Rough Collies on the poll again, they'd fit this site soo well and they're beautiful dogs. Can't go wrong with "Lassie"! However, of the choices given I think the Catahoula sounds like the most interesting...would love to see them all someday though!
