Updates and Stuff
Hey everyone!
Just a couple updates, is all :)
As most of you have likely by now noticed, the trialing system has undergone a couple of changes. Per the poll results, each player may now only enter up to two dogs per trial. It seems to be running smoothly, so far! We're going to see how this works for helping correct the economy before revisiting the change and discussing the impact on game play. Additionally, when creating trials, you may now only include the same obstacle twice. This was adjusted to prevent people from exploiting the trial system by running dogs trained only in one stat in trials comprised of only that stat.
The midnight companion cron problem appears to have been resolved. We have made changes that eases the server strain regarding items and companions which run late at night (e.g., Dragon`s Hoard, Prairie Dogs, Medieval Fantasy Companions, to name a few). Before, the server didn't know how to handle everything and it would give up halfway through, and then sometimes try to run again later. The result was some companions/items running twice, some running normally, and others not running at all. Anyway, the good news is that I've spent the last several nights observing and it seems that the problem has been resolved. We'll be spending today claiming and solving related issues in the issue hub today. If you think you are still experiencing this bug, please submit a new issue for us to look into!
Some of you may have noticed that some things have been moving around on the dog pages. You can now view what percentage your dog is trained just above the clickable stats section. Your dog's percentile ranking has also disappeared. Did you guys use that? If so, please let us know in the news comments and we'll look into where to re-include that!
Our wonderful Moderator, Kitastrophe, has stepped up to the plate and will be handling Custom Accessory and Custom Companion orders now! We apologize for the lag you've experienced in getting these orders fulfilled recently. Kit promises to take much better care of you all now XD Please submit these orders to the Moderator Issue Hub!
Alacrity's Second Birthday is coming up in a few short days! Be on the lookout the next few days for updates about Birthday festivities! We have some fun things planned this year :D

New Site Ownership
Hello lovelies!
We want to announce some exciting news for the entire site: Alacrity has a new site owner! While there have been a few conversations about this here and there, we were holding off while our new site owner gets more familiar with Alacrity and its players. We have moved up the announcement due to the chatter on our own boards and the general air of unease surrounding those threads. This news post is to clear up any questions and concerns you may have about the new ownership. Alacrity’s new owner is actually quite hands-off, so most of you should not experience any change :>
Our new owner has dedicated a new coder for us! Please, let’s all welcome our newest (and certainly most able) coder Jeremy. Jeremy is an experienced coder and he is dedicated to helping us work out all of our bugs! Please, take a moment to drop by his page and thank him for the work that he has been and is preparing to do for Alacrity!
Rest assured that the Alacrity you know and love is going to stay the same. With the additions to our team, we’ll be working on clearing up bugs, making the site faster, and handling all of the things you wish to have done! As has been touched on before, due to Jeremy’s addition to the team, we have some exciting new features in the works, so Alacrity will not only maintain its spirit, but now also has the means to grow and become even better! We hope that you all show the new owner and our new coder some of our well known Alacrity welcoming and love!
Should you experience anything that you want to bring up to an admin, please do so via the issue hub! Keep in mind that we’re all about correcting issues and NOT about coding them :>
To discuss Alacrity’s new ownership (this includes voicing concerns, support, or airing questions you may have), please post in THIS forum thread.
With much love and excitement!
<333

I find the percentage where it is now logical, but totally impractical as I can't see how far the dog got trained with one look after training is done, now I need to scroll all the way down and have trouble locating it in the other text with my vision problems.
Maybe put it n both places?
