IDK, I didn't put this in feedback because it's more angry ranting than feedback, but fuck the broken pet profiles entirely. I'm kind of at a loss as far as what to do on Subeta right now. I've always been a pet person, and I always made my own profiles aside from a few exceptions. My pets are my creative outlets, and right now I doubt they will be anymore. It's also been a major source of sP income for me on here - coding them I mean. That being said, I'm an adult and work anywhere between 45-60 hours a week. I have neither the time nor energy to relearn how to code for this website. Or, you, know, to fix 20+ broken as shit profiles, or have the motivation to make new ones for the rest of my 70 pets.

I understand needing to improve on old coding/layouts, but at least offer a solution if you're going to break everything that users have customized.

I wouldn't care so much, if there was an easy fix, but if there is I can't find it and I'm just so pissed I'm literally crying rn.

[edit]

I should probably add that I don't mean this to sound like I expect the staff to cater to my needs/wants, but I'm really upset that I just won't have the time to enjoy the one thing I still care about after wasting 10 years of my life on here.

I know the feeling. I haven't wasted a lot of time on pet profiles and the ones I've done were pretty messed up to being with. But I felt the same when they borked shops and galleries. I'd spent countless hours organizing, putting stuff into categories, generally fiddling with my shops and galleries. Every bit of that work was wasted...poof all gone.

I was totally disheartened. All I can say is give it time.

if it's any consolation i'm fucking fuming??? lmao kill me now i came on yesterday to work on a commission, saw the clusterfuck, and just... shut down. been angry!problem solving today, got a few things covered... maybe... but for how long? when am i gonna get rear-ended again? who the hell knows! :) :) :) i would've taken more time away but having to answer to past paying customers --- for something i have absolutely no control over --- reeled me back here faster than i was in a mood to forgive.

I know what you mean.

For me my problem was pretty simple, someone helped me fix it but I had to apply this change to every one of my pets because they all use nearly the same layout. I only have 27 pets, but having to navigate page by page to each of my pet's descriptions, copy and paste the code, update my externally saved code for each pet, make sure the fix went through and is showing up on each page, the whole process took me around 3 hours.

More pets, more different layouts, more complex issues to fix, more hours to dedicate. Personally I think being mad is justified... Not everyone has that kind of time to spend, or WANTS to. It's pretty discouraging. Though there's at least 1 user helping people out in the Profiles & Graphics Discussion forum, gotta appreciate - they're the one who helped me too.

This is super frustrating to me as well. Especially since some of the people I have commissioned profiles from are no longer active. These are things I have paid real money for as well as donated to the site to get csc to pay for. I should not have to bother people to help me to fix them. I have no coding experience what-so-ever. I fixed a few with some help from an awesome Subeta user but now the profile they helped me fix is broken AGAIN and I just have no motivation to keep doing this. I don't even feel like fixing them or trying to get it done now because who knows how many times they will break after they're fixed again.

Also, shout-out to those coding masters that actually reached out to the people who commissioned them with the fixes. You guys are AWESOME. ;__;

100% THIS I have characters/profiles that are 5+ years old, commissioned by users who are either inactive or frozen and I'm not financially able (online or IRL) to get their profiles fixed. Some are spotlight winners, some WERE nominated and now... they are just a mess. I was heartbroken when I saw Maizy's profile. My baby... her profile is such a mess. :(

I feel bad for everyone who's had their shit messed up, feel even worse for pet spotlight folks. :/

On the plus side... at least the site hasn't shat the bed like it did with the previous layout change? We had an old layout, switched to the current one, and someone decided to wipe all the pet profile coding because "it won't fit with the new layout, might as well get rid of it". People were LIVID. We did get it back through an oldCSS.php page (which is deleted now), but that was... even more "fun" to deal with.

Heads-up! [sub]Because I can't resist an adorable kitty face.[/sub] Find this line of code in Maizy's profile: {position: absolute;top: 0px;left: -176px;}and replace it with this: {position: absolute;top: 0px;left: -10px;} I'm no code wizard like , but that should hopefully make it a bit nicer!

Eep! Thank you! <3 Now if I can just get her TC to show, I would be in business. O.O

@ Scar :'| I think it might be the pet spotlight trophy messing that up?

I've tested your profile code with one of my pets that had TC items and the TC showed up just fine. I don't have any spotlight winners to double-test it and confirm that's 100% the cause, but... my best guess is that the trophy is somehow messing things up.

I tried it on Chums since it has a spotlight win and the TC shows up- Screen cap here. As you can see the TC overlaps the trophy rather than getting pushed off screen. No idea why it's showing up for Frost and I when copied onto one of our own pets, but MIA on Maizy. Maybe there's a stray tag somewhere that isn't rendering when we view source but is messing up the TC. You could test this by coping everything out of the profile into a text document so you don't lose it, then replace it with code clipped from view source.

I know what you mean. I was mega pissed for a few days right after the change. I'm better now because time does help to calm me LOL. A simple code won't fix most of my profiles. In most cases, I have to reposition all the elements. The worst part is I have 80 pets. Just purely copy-and-paste a simple code 80 times is frustrating enough let alone applying more complex fixes case by case to more than half of them! I was joking the other day that subeta has enslaved me because I didn't have the willpower to not fix my pet profiles LOL. Given that, I'm still losing motivations because I don't have the spare time and energy. I have 26 out of 80 profiles fixed as of now, and I'm not sure when I can start again. Wish me luck!

I feel that we are allowed to be angry because of the extra, unnecessary, and uncompensated time and energy (and in some users' cases, sp and csc) wasted. Everything could have even been avoidable if the toggle update can be hold off until the pet profile separation update was done. But what's done is done. I feel bad for whoever are affected. I feel bad for the staff who need to work extra hours to do some damage control (thank you for those who, staff or non-staff, came up with fixes). I feel bad for the site in general when a lot of fancy profiles and spotlight winners' profiles are broken and on display. On a brighter side, the staff finally decide to prioritize the pet profile update after all these years. So let's hope us pet people won't suffer any longer :D!

Update: I just looked at my most recent pet profile I've been working on (Unconditionally) and it's so broken. I'm so upset.. I've spent so much time and sP getting her spotlight ready (and she was finally nominated!) only to have her profile show up 1/4 of the way. I'm so torn now. Do I even bother fixing it or will it just break another way? :|

Spent some time now with trying to fix one of my more simple profiles. Managed to re-position the text box but then ended with an ugly cut-off text in the box with no clue which code or magical barrier is causing it. Gave up now, it just makes no sense.

For my more complex profiles I am hoping to get some help from other users because I didn't pay a lot for art and profile for nothing but for the rest I might just delete the files and move on, I cannot expect others to help me with like 30+ profiles after all...

I wish staff had thought of making pet profiles a priority BEFORE this Subeta version of Ragnarök. It's not that I don't appreciate the hard work behind the scenes but I would be able to appreciate it more if I could still look at my Pets without feeling ill.
