Ohhh I never knew that! Thanks! :t-:3: It'd still be nice to have though, since it'd get a bit confusing after so many urls.

No more confusing with labels than any system the site could implement.

You could stick them in a text file and put something like
Mom x Dad: url here
Uncle x Aunt: url here

And open the corresponding url when you want to breed them.

They already have this kind of thing with progens in families, so if implemented in that way it wouldn't really be confusing.

How about an item to freeze certain adults that have time sensitive sprites? It looks like the adult Globefish have four sprites based on time of day, and like those spiders from the Artificer shop having the lightbulbs to change their lighting, I think it'd be awesome to eventually have an item to freeze a Globefish at whatever sprite it's sitting at.
Would love new crystalwings as gifts :)

It would be fabulous if on the bestiary pages if it had a further breakdown that told us what tabs the creatures were in. I try my best to put things in the right tabs, but misclicks happen and some of my tabs are getting impossible to load on my phone so I don't venture there unless I have too.

Is there any way to make so that you can see a creatures info 'on hover' in those places where it doesn't show up now?

In some places, like in a trade or when you're breeding, you can hover over a creature and see it's info. But in other places, like your main Keep and other tabs, you can't see that info. And because of that loadtime issue I've already posted about, the best way to see that creatures info is to open the link to that creature in a new tab. I'm just wishing that we could see that info 'on hover' regardless of where we're hovering.

AND, in regards to that info when you can see it.. Is there any way to include the creatures current percentage in the info?

I'm asking because sometimes folk I'm trading with ask for 'lowest percentage' available.. but since that info isn't part of the 'on hover' info, I have to look up that info before I start the trade and memorize the creatures ID number so I know which one to add to the trade.
I am in the process of moving house, so I will not be around much for the foreseeable future.

I've got a few suggestions (and I didn't see them in the lists...) that came to mind when I was re-organizing my tabs today.

-Tab descriptions. Basically just a place where you can put in a description for why you've collected the creatures in the tab together, etc.
-Creature descriptions. Similar to above, but on a per-creature basis. That way if you have a special pet or something, you can write about them specifically so people can see information about your specific pet and not just your pet's species.
-These two might need a report system to go with them, in case people abused them somehow.

Also,
-Color-coded tabs. I know some people DO have different colored tabs, but as far as I know those mark out "protected" tabs? Otherwise I'm misunderstanding and if this is already possible can someone please tell me how to color-code tabs?? It would help A TON, especially for people who want to mark out specific tabs XD
Tabs could be coded according to a hexadecimal color system, like the BBCode colors here on the forum. Something could be implemented to change the color of the text according to how bright/dark the background tab color is, maybe?

Just some semi-random thoughts. I went through the lists on the first page and didn't see anything like this, so... XD
Thank you guys for the gifts! <3

You feel eyes on your back as you enter the keep, but when you turn nothing is there. Though you see nothing, you sense deep inside that this keep is protected...

A HATCHERY Catagory for the Click Threads as they are not games and thus have no business being hidden in with the Ban The User Above You, etc stuff. I know it took me half a year when I first came to find out about the click threads, and I think having a catagory clearly labeled as being for such things would help a lot. It would also help that you wouldn't have to search through the games for the click threads when they get buried.
ImageImageImageImageImagePlease donate a click. Thank You. <3

Yes please!!!!!!!

Please do not ask for any of my creatures. I will most likely ignore any requests.

A few more thoughts...
-I definitely support removing creatures from lineages. Eventually I plan on making my Equinox Warriors into a lineage, but I want to be able to remove any skulks that aren't black (gilded/silver or gold/red) from the lineage. I think it should be an option that's only available to the lineage owner, though (so people who buy lineages can't just remove them), but it should be available for creatures that have been purchased. This would mean that you could remove creatures if someone has broken the lineage rules with a creature (i.e. I tell someone not to breed an Equinox Warrior descendant, but they do anyway. I remove the offending creatures from the lineage (and probably refuse to sell to the user in the future)). However, it would need some form of enforcement to prevent people selling creatures as lineages and then just removing them once they've been bought.
-The ability to add creatures that have been removed from lineages back in, if that ability is added.
-An option from the lineage page to disallow breeding for lineage creatures that do not belong to the lineage owner

EDIT: More thoughts...
-Sub-tabs. The ability to add multiple subdivisions inside a tab. These could be shown or hidden at will. Note that these would not appear as additions to the normal "tabs", but would only be seen while inside the tab.
There could either be a separate set of tabs that would appear for each subdivided tab, or (my personal favorite), the divisions could be shown within the creature area of the tab. The name of the subdivision would be listed in a small bar above the tab's contents, and an arrow at one side would allow the tab to be minimized or maximized. When minimized, only the sub-tab name bar would be visible. When maximized, all the creatures in it would appear below it as normal. It would be good to have a small dividing line to indicate where the tab stops as well, to differentiate the tab's ending from any creatures that aren't in a subdivision. (does this make any sense?? I can try to draw a picture if it doesn't...)
Practical application example for this-- I have over 100 Streamborn Foxfire skulks. I've now begun to breed them, but when making pairings I usually try for streamborn to streamborn, first gen to first gen, and so on. As I breed more first gen skulks, it will start to get annoying to check on each skulk and see if it is streamborn, first gen, etc. The use of sub-tabs would enable me to easily file my streamborns in one sub-tab, my first gens in another, and so on. I could even eliminate my gilded tab by making a sub-tab for each generation of gilded foxfires.
Each sub-tab should have the functionality of a normal tab in breeding, trading, etc., and should be able to be individually toggled. It should also show how many creatures are inside it (to help with large trades and pricing, etc.).
