Photo Uploading Got Much Better

Helllllllo everyone. Another improvement is now crossed off the list.

We overhauled our photo uploading technology!

We can now handle uploading photos that are ridiculously big up to 5Mb (5,000k). So you should no longer ever have to reduce the photo on your end before uploading it. At the most you’ll just ahve to reduce it’s height and width to get it below 5Mb.

Also, we now use some nifty code that uploaded your photo and immediately displays it without having to wait for the page to reload. Big photos still require more time to upload over the internet, but this code makes the process much less confusing.

Finally, we’ve begun saving high resolution verisons of each image you upload. Custom printing of your photos on t-shirts, stamps and more directly from our site is in the works! More details on this to come.

Paw Power!

Woof! If you find you would prefer to upload even large photos, let us know. The 4m

Finally, Catster Women’s Shirts are back!

Mrooooooow!

We are purring because we are once again fully stocked in all women’s Catster t-shirt sizes. These shirts were so pawpular last time we had them that we sold out super fast. Then, our t-shirt supplier could not supply us any more. Now we have a new supplier and a full shelf of dark green women’s tee’s.

Get your shirt today while they are still in stock!

And to all you Catster faithfuls that order shirts and have been waiting patiently, we will get your shirts out to you asap.

Hurray, Catster shirts!

Catster Groups Now Live!

Meow, Meow and Happy New Year!

2006 is going to be a big, cat lovin’-good time and just to show how much we love all ya kitties out there in Catsterland, we now have Catster Groups (beta version)!

What is a group you ask?

A group is a way of organizing members of Dogster & Catster around a particular shared interest. The group could be focused on a particular breed (Dogster Pugs, Catster Manx Lovers), a particular cause (Dogsters Against Breed Specific Legislation, Catsters for Feline Leukemia Prevention), a local group (Mission Dolores Dogs, Manhattan Cat Association), or even just a silly group (Dogster Super Friends, Catster Super Felines). It’s totally up to you! Once you have created the group you can invite others to join or leave membership open and let them join on their own. You can send messages to the group, share photos, post events, share links and do it all from your own group homepage.

To get started go to the Group Homepage.

It is a little bit complicated at first so we highly recommend a reading of the Group FAQs.

As this is a new feature built from the ground up just for our community, you may still see a few cyberfleas. Be sure to let us know if you find anything great, strange or awful and we will be sure to check it out.

Enjoy!
