Some of you may have been noticing intermittent issues with performance. I am working with our hosting company to resolve these issues. In the course of troubleshooting the problem, the tech I spoke with noticed that our database needs to be upgraded. The tech believes that the upgrade will improve performance. I have scheduled the upgrade for Thursday, 3 AM EST (that's about 3 hours as of this writing). The site will be unavailable during the upgrade, and I expect it to last between 1/2 hour to 2 hours. We appreciate your patience during this time. - Dave

We have added a new feature called the Layout Selector or Style Selector. You can choose which layout you would like to use. Right now there is only 2 official layouts released: Our default one (Sunny Day) and Plain and Simple (a simple grey and white layout). If you have an idea you would like to submit for other layouts please feel free to comment or message me.

To change your current layout click on "Personal" (on the top nav) and from there go to your SolSettings. Look for "Style" in the form and from the dropdown menu are your current choices of layouts. This can be updated anytime by all users.

Beta and Premium Only layouts will be coming soon.

To all the mothers who play and allow their children to come visit Solpets - Happy Mother's Day!

We have made some security updates around the site for the beginning of this holiday season.

Along with the security updates we have had the following bug fixes: - Shoutbox links now open in tab. - Pets "ATTITUDE" and "HUNGER" now change daily. - User shops now do not have the "Shop does not exist" error when purchasing a item.

Please Note: Pet spirits are being removed from the site soon.

Trick or Treating has started. Just visit a user's profile and choose between the available options. Have fun. Get some candy. :)

Summer is nearly half way through and that means it's time for some bug fixes.

- We have changed the terms to change your pet's name. You have to have a premium membership or have your pet be at level 50 or higher (instead of 10 or higher). - CSS bug fixes though out the site. Most noticeable on the forums and shops. - Bank link has been added to your sPoint total under your username in the layout (top right hand corner). - Fixed broken beta links for staff and beta users. - Support system has had some minor updates and bug fixes. - In the forums, the last reply is now the correct and actual LAST reply.

Keep sending in your error you find using the support system! - CL

It's that time of year to joke with your friends (and hope they don't know what's coming).

This post is not about jokes though, we would just like to share what is being worked on. The Dice Game and Rich Pido are now completely working - for everyone. Slots needs some extra test, but we believe it is working for everyone now. High and Low and Heads or Tails still have some tests that need to be done.

Once all games are working properly for everyone, we will start working on the Item Helper and the solDome.

We would like to inform all users that heads or tails, high and low, Rich Pido, and also Slots may give you errors. Not all users are getting these, but if you are having problems with any of the games please be sure to report them in the support system. If you can, please add what browser and operating system you are using and be as specific as possible.

Again, not all users are getting the errors and we need to narrow down what the bug is. Thank you.

[center] This holiday season we have decided to update our pets. The Solpets team hopes you all like our new style of pets and artwork.

Our new artist, Lolly, has been busy working on some pretty awesome artwork for Solopians.

Lolly has also made us new forums icons for our new and improved forum page!

You may have also noticed our new layout? Yeah, she did that too!

[center] We have added 2 new artists to the Solpets Team.

Please welcome [user]Distracted[/user] and [user]Lolly[/user]! [/center]

There is only a limited amount available for each.

We have also added a new feature for premium users to change their pet's name whenever you like. For free users, you can unlock this feature once your pet reaches level 10.

Happy July. :)

One day the Rimulus mysteriously appeared on Rainbow Falls with out warning. To this day nobody knows for sure how and where these strong and brave creatures originally came from.

Plus: New Rimulus avatar to use on the forums!
