News, Announcements, & Dev Log
As some of you have already begun to notice, we have had a large programing update! Many little features and fixes have been implemented!
+ Error removed when you view your own Auctions.
+ Member Shop item max price is now 100,000,000 (old max price was 250K) A reminder of this is now on the Shop Stock page where you update your shop item prices.
+ Select All buttons have been added to the Item Sorter. Just click the title of the row you want to select everything on. (like Move To Storage and Move To Shop )
+ Owner name is now displayed in Member Shops.
+ Line breaks now work in Goatmail.
+ Display name colors and icon now show in Goatmail.
+ Goatmail page turn is now working.
+ Live Chat page is now error free.
+ Live Chat online display box is now working properly.
+ You can now remove items from your HA Buddy if you have reached the limit of 20 items.
+ Trade bugs fixed. (But it needs to be tested out really good to make sure!)
+ In trades, if you hover your mouse over a retired item it will now say that it is retired in the popup info box. However auctioned items don't have that notice yet - we are still working on getting that notice added around the site.
+ Forum pings should work better now but it needs testing. Let me know if you guys are still missing a lot of your pings.
+ Surrendering a Goatling errors have been fixed.
+ Baddy hit-points have been cut in half so you'll be able to battle with them longer.
+ Explore Area loot (like drinks and grass pizza) drop at a rarer rate. These "trash" items will soon be removed from that area and replaced with a Sugarstar item that is worth more at the Pawn Shop.
+ Normal Baddy loot drops should be back to normal.
+ Pet gender can now be updated by going to MyStuff then MyGoatlings then click Change Gender & Description. Current genders may have been switched around a little because of this update so you should double check them to make sure they are correct.
+ Pet gender is now shown in pet profiles.
+ Support Ticket system is now up if you need to ask a Admin or GM for help or to report something. A link for it can be found at the bottom of each page (just click Support). The system is still brand new so we may need to refine a thing or two but it should be in working order. http://www.goatlings.com/support/create
---
Important Notes:
- For now, please don't use commas in starting bid prices in auctions - as well as in shop item prices. If you do, an item that you want to sell for 1,000 SS will sell for 1 SS. We are still working on that bug. A reminder to not use commas has been added to those areas.
- For Forum Games. These can affect server speed if they get to big. The database can get really laggy when grabbing lots of data like thousands of forum replys in one topic. Rite now, the forums should be able to cope with what we have rite now, but as we get more and more members it could lag the site if we encourage to many forum games. Because of this we wont be creating a forum games category.
- We double checked Triple Scoop and isn't bugged. A lot of people just play it at once and its easy to lose track of the jackpot.

The Nyanling Goatling appearance also needed a major redraw to fix a copyright issue. Above is the new design and the appearance is now known as Starshine.
If you have a unused Appearance Doll of this design and want a refund on Sugar Stars, just put it up in your shop for 100,000 SS, let me know, and I will buy it. I apologize if this change causes any confusion! Thank you for understanding everyone!
If you are interested in buying a Starshine AD they are located in the VIP shop!

Three of the Indi items needed a small redraw edit to fix a copyright issue. Indiegoatling AD, Indie Shirt, and Indie BG were affected. The new versions can be seen here. To update your HA Buddy items, you will need to take them off and put them back on again and we ask that you please do so we can fully remove the issue.
The Indie BG item was most affected in the change so if anyone is terribly unhappy with the new version you can get a refund by putting the item in the trades. Set the Trade Message to "For Krisgoat refund request" And I will take it back and credit your account with the DD that was spent on it. Send me a Goatmail to let me know to check the trades for it too. Thank you for understanding everyone!
