Just to let you know, we are changing the layout of the forum a little. So please bear with us.

There will be a few name changes, Sections added and some sections moved. It will help improve the ease of use of the forum, so if things look a little different or go a little strange that's why.

Any questions, just ask :)
 
I hope that you will find that this change makes it a lot easier to navigate the forum and find information or know where to post a problem correctly, especially for new members! We have tried to incorporate members' feedback as much as possible. ;)
 
Oh dear - I'm not sure I can cope. Got lost twice on the way home from Asda yesterday - i'm clearly easily confused! :{

Asda does that to you.... Changes nearly all done. Not too bad eh :)
 
I cannot see the rescue locater any more. I thought that was useful.
 
Not currently but I'll add it on when I get a spare five minutes :)

I didn't think anyone used the blue one.
 
The only change I would be looking for would be to make searches easier & more reliable eg to be able to search for a phrase.

There's always one. But so do I, not all change is bad. Take for instance Megan's bedding change - this is a good change as it stops my living room smelling like a giraffe house :)

I like a giraffe's house! :))
 
This is something that we are aware of :)

Your smileys never cease to amaze me.....
 
Thats enough messing around now, can we leave the forum alone now? I cant find anything, dont know where anything is!
 
No more messing I promise. The Guinea Pig Care section has been divided so it is parallel, just a little easier for new users to find their way around. Few new sections added like 'Planning for Guineas' this help newbies to piggie keeping.
 
We have tried our best not to mess around too much, but it has been a long held wish by older forum members to have the Guinea Pig Care section appearing on the start page again. It is a busy, important section and now it is much easier to find!

The old reference section is now mostly the new "Daily Care" section where all general aspects about piggy keeping can be discussed with the appropriate information threads at the top. We have added a new "Planning for piggies" section for people who are doing their research in order to make it easier for them to access information and ask questions. We will add more helpful information threads to that section in due time.

Hopefully, you will get used to it quickly!

It all looks really good and easier to use. Am I right in thinking that you need to be logged in to view a lot of sections now though, particularly the health and illness section? Was just wondering how this will affect people how do a search on Google for help for their poorly piggy, will this still bring up the relevant threads? will the fact they have to register not mean that they go off and look elsewhere (people are inherently lazy).

No settings have changed regards to forum permissions - If you google UTI for instance Helen, you will pull up threads from H&I.
 
Okay just tried it, can't get in will have a look :)
