If I ever try to switch pets, Firefox nearly crashes and takes like 2 min to load :x My computer isn't the greatest, so all this flashy redesign causes my comp to slow

From the news:

You may have noticed that the Quick Reference page has been updated. It is quite pretty and has some new features that we think you will like! :)

Humm that IS an interesting point. I really wouldnt want to see everyone suddenly with the ability to have ten pets... but the ability to have 5 would open doors. I'd really like to be able to have another pet on my account so i could get avatars that right now i have no way of getting with all four slots filled... Maybe we'll get that ability when they finally open the pound.... hey it sounds good right heh

I actually kinda like the new quickref. For once, TNT has "fixed" something that wasn't broken, and I'm not outraged! :o

I think it looks a lot neater and well done, I like seeing the bigger pictures, customize/bd equipment/etc. is all easier to find with the drop down menus, and being able to edit descriptions and petpages from the quickref page is a huge plus I think.

But I miss being able to see in one quick glance my pets' mood/hunger/health. Now it takes a slightly longer glance with some scrolling involved.

And I think it's a BIG drawback that all your pets aren't visible by default, or at least don't stay locked in once you make them visible. Having to click to see them all every single time I visit the page is annoying.

I thought about what Zombie said right when I saw the new layout. It looks like there is so much room for more pets. But I tried to put that out of my mind and not get my hopes up. Nothing would make my happier than having even just one more pet per account. I would just faint dead away from joy. XD But I'm sure that will never happen.

I really perferred the last one we had. Although I appreciate the big pictures, I'd all for a quick load.

Surprisingly, it works just fine on our older computer. Finally, a usless change that doesn't act funny on this computer. ;) I do find it amusing the fact that it lists your pet's petpet on the top of the bar...

I couldn't stand the last change to the quick ref, where one pet would be huge and all of the other pets all tiny. It strangely was more annoying with the loading then this layout is.

So, I like this one.

All I ever use quick ref for is pretty much changing my active pet (which I almost never do), and when my pets are sick or hungry.

What I think TNT needs to do is take the notice box of your active pet, and put 'EmileeCat is hungry!' or 'Kadcam is Sick!' in red... that way you wouldn't have to scroll through to see which pets are sick or hungry. You could see all the urgent stuffs right there with your active pet. That'd be a quicker quick ref.

And that notice box could be used for something other then pretending that
