Hi all!
You may have noticed today we released a couple of changes for pet profiles. By popular request, pet birthdays (or ages) are now shown on pet profiles. Adoption dates are also shown, though prior to today Subeta hasn't tracked when pets were adopted. Thus, pets without an adoption date show their birth date instead as a "(Legacy)" date.
We've also added progress bars that track stats. These bars show how your pet's stats compare to its highest stat. We may be changing how these work in the future.
These changes are just the tip of the iceberg, though! You can expect some major changes for pet profiles in the near future. I won't say just what yet, but I promise you'll like them. You can expect to see the new system up and running by the end of the year!
The downside of this, of course, is that current pet profiles won't work on the new system! We know this is frustrating to people, especially since the pet profiles were just recently broken with the new layout. This is a problem that plagues every site - it's impossible to make improvements and maintain compatibility with the existing versions of features. We think (and I hope you'll agree) that in the long run making big improvements is worth having to redo some profiles. Therefore, I'd advise against investing a lot of sP in pet profile coding at the moment - just a warning!

Just don't do anything that breaks overlays, and I'll be happy.
I do enjoy the birthdays, however! I was always curious when my pound-pets were born.

GAH! no. i am sorry but i don't think these changes are worth the time put into recoding our pet profiles. why no just tell us that you are going to keep adding more and more so we can stop coding?
i am getting very frustrated with how this is being handled.

Don't break the api, then <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_wink.gif" border="0" />
YAY this sounds exciting. I already noticed you can see a pet's equipped weapons on their pages about a week ago. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif" border="0" />
Oh wow, the pet pages look awesome! Thanks! <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />
