I don't know whether it can be done here or not, but on another forum that I administrate, a poster can edit his/her posts.
If so, a separate thread for new dragons, with important information sent via private message to the original poster to edit in, would mean that all the necessary info would be found in the first post. Later, merging back into this thread would keep the board cleaner.
Of course, with the wiki available, maybe that is too much work...
I would like to make a suggestion that new dragons get a thread. It is very difficult to find information in this giant thread that moves so quickly. Everytime a new dragon is released, I alway end up just going to the wiki external forum because information is much easier to find there.
An interesting point. Perhaps we could make a new thread for when the dragon is released, then merge it into this thread after the dragon has moved on.
Ahem, pardon me...short memory Fletch. You already update the first post in this thread with new dragon links, remember the index you initiated?
It's not specific as to what is needed to breed a new dragon, but it points to the start of discussion regarding new dragons so a person doesn't have to wade through all the pages to find it.

Not meaning to sound contrary here, just a reminder we do have something like this now, and then we can consider whether something new is needed.
True, but it points to 40 pages of a lot of 'grats!' and 'thanks!' posts. As I said, that is why I always go to the other site first. But, if this system is your preference, then by all means keep it. It was just a suggestion- I don't find it difficult to use the other site as well.

Oh I had not forgotten, but it just might be easier in the initial hours after release if there was a thread started where people can go to catch up on the conversation starting from it's release.

Love it. Thanks for the suggestion and Fletch your idea on how to set it up is perfect.

Not at all, Bliss. Always open to new suggestions, just didn't want it to go unnoticed that a lot of information is available, but sometimes people just don't know where to go to get it. Sorry if it came across that I was opposed to the idea.
People find this forum by different means, landing on pages in the middle of threads, and may not know there is an index that can help them without trying to wade through hundreds of pages.
So we will create a new thread and merge it in its entirety with this one, out of date sequence. And, add a link to it on the first page?

I think after we merge it it will still be in date sequence. Won't it?
I'm currently on level 24. If I'm not mistaken- there is a new habitat available at level 25?
If so- does anyone know how much $ I need for it? I'm trying to stash some cash.
You do get a new habitat but I think you mean island. That is correct also. 50 million for that bad boy.
Speaking of which, has anyone noticed how far you can scroll now. You can easily get to total blue sky from any direction of you islands. Plenty of space to add more of them.

BTW, I didn't know we had an index.

Yes it will slot the posts in amongst the others according to date and time. Might make it a bit harder to read through later, but how often are people doing that?
Just to confirm, we'll just create one thread for each new update, or one for each dragon?

To me it would make more sense to have a thread for each dragon, to keep it cleaner. I'm all for this if it sequences in properly. Think it might be a real mess if it doesn't.
What I do is save all the forum emails will all the new info then if I need a reminder of combos I just look at that email I'm concerned about having too many threads to look at we already have a bunch lol

They say keep it simple, that is simple and probably works very well. Some people are not receiving the emails. ProBoards likes some email clients better than others. They say the free ones like Hotmail, Google, etc are working quite well.

Well, I'm not trying to hijack the thread. Thank you very much to everyone, though; you're all very sweet. It's only a temporary layoff, thank God, couple weeks until another project starts up. But it's very hard, cuz we're two months behind on rent and blah blah blah. When the baby comes we really don't want to have my wife work, but the numbers won't work out. Landlady is putting the house we've rented for ten years on the market, but is offering it to us first, for $90K less than appraised/market value, but we won't be able to take advantage of that, either. Just bad timing in lots of area. Anyhow, not trying to get off-topic or whine. Just fustrated, but new dragons coming is a nice distraction. And, again, thank you folks for being so sweet.
I know exactly what you mean!!! About 3 years ago something close happened to us!!! But you guys seem like a sting couple.. It will find a way to work out!! There are many of us that both work.. It stinks but we just have to.. Hubby works nights I work days ... No baby sitter !!!! I will keep you both in my thoughts and wish you the best!!!!

Also, I think I am not alone in using a junk address for these types of sites where Proboard or whatever sells the emails as a revenue stream so you get unsolicited spam.
I think there are primarily two types of users on this forum: the social user who posts often, interacts with others, etc. and the information seeking user. Right now, the forums are excellent for socialising, but I think information tends to get buried inbetween that social activity and therefore can be a chore to find at times. Having a distinct informational thread could be helpful for the information seeking users. If you look at the user activity, a large portion are guests or people who rarely posts.
I'm going down that path but it takes a long time to make Panlongs too. LOL! I only have 5 Panlongs so far because I keep getting swept up in breeding other things. It took me forever to get the pearl and then I found I was missing a few other dragons. So, my Panlong campaign is also slow-going. Oh well. It all keeps me entertained.
I got back into the swing of breeding pans too, and now there are 2 of them sitting in my nursery! Now? What was I possibly thinking?
