New Forum Features

For those who haven't seen the threads in the What's New forum section I am going to do a quick recap of a couple of them in here since this is probably the most widely read forum section.

We now have Thread Prefixes. When you go to start a new thread you will see a new box in front of the place where you write the title to your thread. Please try to use these as it will make the forum much easier to search. To learn more about prefixes, please see this thread:
Thread Prefixes

Also most of you now have the ability to create blogs. The only group that cannot create blogs are Newbies. We expect you all to follow the forum rules in your blogs. The only thing we are lightening up on is smilies/emoticons. But everything else must follow forum rules.

I also want to add that new threads about new pigs now belong in the Introductions forum. There is a prefix for New pig(s) in there. They will be moved from this forum to there.

Re: New Forum Features

Update:
Some forum areas now require MANDATORY prefixes. If there is not a prefix for your question, first of all make sure you are in the appropriate area of the forum for your questions. IE: Don't ask about bedding in the Diet and Nutrition forum, don't ask about litter training in About Guinea Pigs. Secondly, if there is no prefix that matches exactly what you want to ask and you are in the right forum, then pick the closest one to your issue.

The areas that now require mandatory prefixes are the Medical and Veterinary forum, the Diet and Nutrition forum, the Adoptables forum, the Bedding forum, the About Cages Forum and the Accesories forum.

If you have multiple questions on different subjects, please post them separately in the appropriate forum areas.

Example: You want to ask about bedding and what kind of veggies to feed and how often you can bathe your pig. Don't ask them on one thread, please break the questions down and put the bedding question in the bedding forum, the veggie question in the Diet & Nutrition forum and the bathing question in About Guinea Pigs.

Not Ranked. Helpful AND tactful post?     
Re: New Forum Features

About Guinea Pigs and the Pregnancy and Babies forums are now also mandatory for prefixes. If it does NOT fall under any other category in About Guinea Pigs, put it under General.
