Hello Critterville Citizens,
I just wanted to take a moment to tell you about all the great new features here. I hope you will check them out and take advantage of all the fun new things to do here in Critterville.
We have loads of new games that have been added to the "Casino", as well as some of the other boards.....so you need to mosey around the forums to find some of the fun new items that have been added.
You might have also noticed some pretty scenes that have been added to some of the pages. Some of them are interactive....when you click on the fish or dolphins they will jump out of the water.
We also have a "Virtual Piano" in the "Critterville Cafe" chat area. When you click on the keys of the piano you can create your own music. And you can find a set of "Virtual Drums" to play in the Critterville Comedy Club.
Another addition is our new Image Hosting Service. To find out more about this easy to use feature click on this link: Free Image Hosting At The Click Of a Button
The "Quick Reply" box now has more features for our users and is centered right underneath the post.....this was done in the hopes that it is easier for users to see and use. The only features that it doesn't have are the smiley's, the "Upload Image" hosting service, and the background color IMG code. For those features you will still need to click on the "Reply" bone button.
You may have also noticed that the "Background Color Changer" button is now much easier to see, as we made it a box of crayons. For more information on how to use this feature click here: critterville.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=welcome&action=display&thread=505
There is also a "Font Drop Down" menu right beside the box of crayons.....with over a dozen choices of type styles to choose from. If you have a particular font style that you would like added to the list just let me know and I will add it for you.
We also have moved the advertisement that was between the welcome header and our logo to the top of the pages. We feel this makes our sites appearance look more seamless, and the ad is less distracting to our users.
Of course we can't forget the 20 new and improved smiley's that have been added to the site, which we hope will be a welcome change from the usual smiley's that are seen on most other forums and websites.
Hopefully, you should have also noticed that our homepage is shortened to a great degree. I have moved all the Knowledge Categories into the "Knowledge" section of the site as sub boards, and added a menu bone button on the top of all the pages. When the "Knowledge" button is clicked you will go directly to the knowledge section where you will find sub boards for all the different animal types; such as "Dogs & Puppy's", "Cats & Kittens", "Parrots & Birds", "Horses", etc. This should make it easier on that scrolling finger!
And if you are looking to name your new dog or cat, we now have a cute little box with a picture of a cat or dog, that when clicked on will give you names to choose from. Just click on the new "Knowledge" button at the top of any page and then click on either "Cat" or "Dog"......and you will see the box right below the music player.
You also now have the ability to use animated gif's and youtube videos for your "Avatar" instead of just using a picture. Please click here to read more on how that can be done: critterville.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=welcome&action=display&thread=514
And don't forget the new "Pet Pages" menu button at the top of every page. Now you don't need to go to the homepage to access pet pages, it can be done from anywhere on the site.....simply click on the "Pet Pages" menu button at the top of any page to get there fast.
We hope that you enjoy these new additions, and we welcome any comments regarding any of them.
Thanks,
