In The News Monthly site updates Current News
Thursday, July 29th, 2021We're earning money! We've just introduced the new Monetary System plugin to the site! This means as a member of the site, you'll earn different amount of "Paw Prints" for posting on the site and participating in the Out of Character and In Character portions of the site! We plan to use this in a way to allow members to "buy" meetings with Spooks and other fun items, as well! Keep an eye out in the near future to find out how you can spend those precious paw prints!
Friday, July 16th, 2021We're back! A lot has happened since we unofficially closed down and reopened. I would like to apologize to all of our members who were still logging on and awaiting for more news and updates! Also, since the site only has one staff member expect a formal request form for our members who want to share in their own personal skills and expertise to help the site run smoothly in the future. We will be getting our social media accounts back active as well, so even if you would like to manage one of our social pages, we'll be looking for help from all sides. Keep on the lookout for more updates!

Such History April 2018's Lovely Updates Current News
Saturday, April 28rd:Tutorials and Hows Tos! We finally have tutorials for how to create threads, accounts, and ultimately use the site! Tutorials are organized by skins and will include lists of helpful How Tos for the players and guests of the site. Members are encouraged to PM a staff members for helpful How Tos that they feel need to be included on the tutorials board. Visit our Tutorials List to see what our Tutorials are all about.Monday, April 23rd:We have a Facebook! In an effort to help us gain some momentum on the website I've launched a Facebook page (Sparkledog Nation) and will continue to work on our social media frontier as we go along. We will post a thread detailing all of the ways you can stay connected soon! We have also been registered into the Proboards Directory and listing ourselves onto Topsites.No Ads?! Members will enjoy a website without advertisement placed on the forum. Although Guests will still enjoy the advertisements and their benefits, we've purchased ad free pageviews that our members will be able to enjoy. Now you only need to focus on the next installment in that thrilling roleplay thread of yours. Sunday, April 15th:Welcoming New Members! An automated Welcome Message was officially created! Now when members join Sparkledog Nation, they will get a detailed welcome message that covers the basics of Sparkledog Nation, gives them suggestions of where they can start to help them acclimate to the site. It's pretty thorough and in-depth so that new members may have a better understanding of the boards and forum.Spooky Apparitions! The Spook will officially start showing up in threads unless you specifically ask it not to! You can always choose to ignore an apparition in your thread, but the Spooky apparitions are usually the best way to stumble across an unnatural ability or transformation! Saturday, April 14th: Is That a New Skin? We're using the Tumblr skin created by Trinity Blair of Adoxography! We love the work that Trinity put into this skin, and thought that its easy layout would be pretty effective for a new forum. The first skin, Moon by Jen Parsons of Proboards, is still available through your profile. Monday, April 09th: We Have Those Now? We finally updated the Character Application Form to include the minimum and maximum height and weight allowed by common animals you might find on the site. We'll continue to update this in the future, based off of common animals that pop up on Sparkledog or by player requests! We also added thread FAQs that cover Hybrids and Hellbeasts, as well.

Wow, we're growing?! May 2018's Happenin' Moments Current News
Thursday, May 30:Let's Have Conversations As you may have noticed, there were four new boards added to the site in a brand new category! Along with the main category (with rules, updates, intro, etc) and the secondary occ category (with ads, spam bin, and recycle bin) we now have a more focused and dedicated category board. This category is focused on more narrow, or specific, conversations to allow members to target their posts of conversations more subjectively. We have a Journaling or venting board (OFU), a suggestions board (TOG), a storytelling board (SAT), and a fandoms board (COW)!Saturday, May 12:What Lovely Images! Have you noticed the lovely on/off icon images, cover images for guest accounts? (300x200 ones) and spotlight/staff cover images in the links in the banner? I'm working diligently on taking pictures in my spare time and using these for the images. The site's banner, check-board image, and "wolf mascot" or wolf icon images are all copywright to their respective owners, however. (The Banner's a photomanipulation by me, though). I currently still plan to take a picture of a beachside, plains, and a few others to customize the roleplay boards more!Wednesday, May 09:A New Skin? We've decided to try on a whole new skin (the Tumblr skin is still available). This decision was brought on by the idea that guests may still have a hard time understanding the layout, even with tutorials provided. Since Trinity Blair is such an amazing skin designer, we still went with one of her skins, "Summer Loving"! Kudos to this amazing skin designer/coder!

In The News June 2018 Updates Current News
Sunday, June 03:Things look darker? I've edited the "yellow" color code and the pink color to be a bit darker. I've noticed that the white text may be difficult to read within the lighter yellow color, so I tried to make it easier to read by instead changing the color to a darker, more golden yellow. I've also made the pink color on the skin a bit bolder, simply to give it more of a "pop". Trinity Blair of Adoxography is the creator of the gorgeous skin itself, so remember she gets all the love and kudos for this amazing work of art!
