HAPPY THURSDAY, PALS.
update update updates:
Iβm also (finally) working on the Item Menu page! Whatβs the item menu page? Itβs when you click an item in your inventory and get all the options to what you want to do with that item (feed it to a pet, move to treasure, etc). Iβm going to show you a few sneak peaks real quick. This is not how the final is going to look. Thereβs still a lot of work to be done, but I want to show a few things:

This is to show that YAY NO MORE DUMB TABLES IN THE CODE. I personally use the graveyard layout around the site and the headers were always very annoying for me in tables BLACK ON DARK GREEN Y.

This is to show we are going to in some way separate between uses; this is the example of a tome of darkness where you can use it on a pet or read it to a pet. Right now, I have all the pets still listed out (gross), but and I are brainstorming ways to make this less annoying (especially for those like me that have a billion pets). The big thing is that each section will be clearly labeled, like βCollectionsβ for beanbags/plushies/etc, βRead to a Petβ, βFeed to a Petβ etc. No more having all uses in one section! :)
ONE LAST THOUGHT: I strongly suggest people comment on the Items to put in circulation thread if you want to see something come back for Black Friday. ;)

Yeah, an issue a lot of users bring up about that page is that all the "use" options are basically in one section very close together, so it's easy to accidentally hit the wrong one etc. So now for items that are duel use, say food and wardrobe or book and stat booster, they'll be in different sections with clear headers. :)
Thanking you both!
RIP Mom, I love & miss you more than you know. Tell Dede hi.
Ocean Conservation Namibia on YouTube... they do good work! https://www.ocnamibia.org
I know its my own hastiness, but I've read tomes to my pet instead of using it on her lol. So this will be amazing and I cannot wait to see the finished layout. :)

Really looking forward to the new item menus. I've personally never had a mishap (that I can remember lol), but it will be nice to have more clear indications of where to click for whatever you want to do. :)
Oh boy! I'm always worried I'm accidentally going to read/play with something I want to use, so I'm really excited for that update! The sneak peek already looks a lot more aesthetically pleasing--as do a lot of the little changes I've been seeing around the site!
Thanks again for your continued work on improving our experiences on site!
THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY I've read tomes to Kuzaku too many darn times.
Missed the last week of these, but, oh, it is so nice to see things being updated and added like this. I love these posts.
Sincere thanks for all of your continued hard work of getting things sorted out and looking good. ;) As always, you're both a delight~ β€οΈ
thanks for the updates!!

wait wait.....I literally had no idea there was supposed to be an animation with the Ruffie Raffle. O:
Thank you for all your hard work, even on the tiny touches that ignorant types like me miss.
Lots and lots of nice upgrades. Thank you both for your hard work.

I love the concept of the new Item Menu! However, it made me thing that this will only make people with lots and lots of pets to have a super long list of pets to use an item on (especially those that are multi-use, for example book/stat booster).
Maybe the Read to ___ or Use on ___ could be in two columns instead of one? I'm not sure if it's doable code-wise, but maybe it could work for them better than one single column list for everything?
