Fixed

I'd like to suggest being able to use punctuation in creature names. I'm not sure if this would mess anything up, or if it is even possible. I know lots of sites don't, but Valenth does and I really like it. This has been bothering me for a while, because I have a special naming scheme for my hybrids which doesn't make a ton of sense without punctuation xD

I would like to suggest an actual time stamp on posts rather then them saying how many minutes ago up to an hour before they start giving the time of post. With auctions, at the last minute things can get heated and clocks on peoples computers are not always the same (not talking about time zones)My clock may hit the time for the auction to end before the last person to bid and my lose out on their bid because my clock happens to be fast. Even with counters it can be frustrating.

A time stamp with hour, minute and second would be good, even if just in the auction section. I have seen it on other sites forums.

If you go into user control panel, gemtwist, Top tab: Board Preferences, at the bottom is 'my date format' click on it and select your preferred display.

thank you I feel like an idiot *blush*

How about a wishlist?
A seperate box on you profile page you will be able to make a wishlist so other users know what creatures your looking for.
Might be fun when you whant to give someone a suprise gift or just when you have nothing better to do, you can look who whants wich pet and offer it to them for a price.

Rosy pointed out that this needs some clarification- are mail in donations still being accepted, or was that just a temporary thing?

Donations
1. Alternate donating methods to Paypal (mail, text message, etc)- by mail-done, by text message- denied.

Meh, you can already kind of do that. Do you really need a separate box for it?
