I did get that. My bite is more centered around the fact that we aren't all good coders and that's where I'm afraid to end up in (copy/paste just to find out that your profile is basically dead). I understand why it needs to be done. And hey, I've been talking about the mythical recode for years and it's happening. I had given up in seeing it!

I can't begin to say how impressed I am with how you've handled this situation. You've been incredibly transparent and understanding/compassionate which is like, wild for a petsite.

Much respect dude.

So is the "legacy mode" option going to be permanent, or will it get cut after a while?
There seems to be some confusion due to our use of the word "legacy" for two different things! Let me try to clarify.

When the new system comes out, there will be a grace period where you'll have access to both the new and current system, while making the transition. This grace period is temporary, and eventually the current system will have to go.

However, the new system will include a special mode we've called "legacy mode" that is fully integrated with the new system, but basically makes it mimic the old profile's structure so that you should be able to copy-paste your existing code and have it work. That's what this quote is referring to:

Quote
To make the transition as smooth as possible, the new profile system will have a permanent "legacy mode" that will have same sections as the current profile, the same CSS identifiers, and some extra code to reset some CSS to mimic current profiles. With this option, you should be able to paste over your current code and it will work with no (or minimal) modifications.
And as the quote mentions, this mode will be a permanent part of the new system.

- I absolutely understand you, I cannot get my head around coding at all - but our is so very helpful and good and will be on hand to offer as much help as possible to get this working for everyone.

The recode is an ongoing thing! It's happening all the time, the site has been updated so much over the past few years, but until we actually get the big visual thing it's hard to think of it as one big thing!

So basically, your pet will get a profile 2.0 to experiment with, but you can choose when to make that be the one that shows up publicly. Until then, the legacy one will remain.

This is amazing. You're amazing.

I'm the same way about the user profiles! I managed to slap a background on my user profile, but anything more than that is beyond me :P

I'm honestly just relieved to see that Subeta is addressing this problem with the pet profiles. It has been so discouraging to visit my own pets and other pets' profiles just to see that they're broken one way or another. I felt like it wasn't fair to not just the people who commissioned pet profiles, but for the people who have created pet profiles too. I can only imagine how many messages they're receiving asking for help on coding (and I'm guilty of being one of those buyers who have done that, too).

Thank you for looking into this. Admittedly I felt a little skeptical when I initially read the announcement, but after reading some staff posts, I'm feeling more confident. Our pets deserve the best after all ❤

This sounds very promising and awesome! I was concerned at first (I can't code pretty much at all so I'm always wary of the risk of my profiles being screwed over by some update or another) but it sounds like you're taking care to not mess anything up. I'm excited to see what comes of this :) And I'm glad to hear this is taking priority - when I first heard more layout updates were planned, I was scared I'd have to spend the next few months fixing my profiles every other week XD Good to hear that it sounds like that won't be the case after all!

Thanks for all the hard work~

I'm scared and excited for this at the same time?

My pet profiles are all messed up. I'm not sure how long they've been that way since I really haven't been on subeta to just "sit down" and re-edit/make my pet profiles somewhat normal looking again. Really hoping this move/change will make it somewhat easier to edit and code. (:

P.S. Not gonna lie, I saw that loyalty pet slot totem and was like "Addressing the pet profile problems AND a free pet slot?? YES PLEASE." A girl can dream ok.

No seriously I really am grateful though. Love that there will be a grace period and that we can experiment with things before making the profile go live.

Oh damn, am I excited! I've made, about. One profile in the past and it's gotten super hecked up over time. And I never got around to learning to recode it.

So a chance to recode it in a system that won't ever be affected by layout changes is going to be super exciting! And to be able to design new profiles for the pets I'm currently just doing TC work on. (can we have an option to buy 100 tc slots at once? please? Max has 800 slots already and all of them are filled, plus 800 items in his wishlist, not including the stuff in my vault...)

My pet profile is so messed up, off center and I have no idea how to fix it. I paid a lot of sP to have someone do all the coding for me.

This is exciting news! Elfric and a few others profile's are all messed up and I haven't gotten around to fixing them, but I'll probably do so once the new 2.0 becomes available.

So in a way, it's going to be like how Neo's petpages aren't part of their main site, right? That's the basic gist I'm getting from this upcoming change.

I've never really done much with my pet profiles, but I'm curious to see what the new versions will be like and playing around with them myself a bit.

It will at least be nice to have them separated from the rest of the site so they won't be affected by layout changes anymore. I know it will still be a bit rough maybe for people to convert their existing layouts to the new system once it's available, but I do agree this is probably the best solution. At least once layouts have been converted the one time, they won't need constant fixing and updating after new site changes are made.

Thanks for all the continued hard work and thought you guys put into improving the site and keeping us informed about what is going on! :)

This sounds promising. I haven't started working on pet profile things, but seems like it has been a task in the past to keep the profiles the way they were designed when any layout changes happened. This will be helpful. :)

On one hand, everything is going to change, again, and I'm going to have to play catch-up. :c

But on the other hand... More opportunities to learn and mess with CSS, more freedom, more ease of use, and most importantly - a new, funkyfresh, superclean version of pet profiles that won't crap itself with future site layout changes!

👍 I like this, and I'm looking forward to seeing it and messing with it! Thank you for all your work and keep being awesome!
