Hey ffb, in order to slow down the hordes of spammers, we've had to change how people sign up for an account. Now, when you register, you will get an email. You have to validate the email, and then wait for the admin (that's me and sometimes test bear) to approve you. We still want fofurrees to join us, but we've had to make it more complicated so spammers stay away. If you are having problems with the site, the best way to contact Bella is via a private message. I sometimes don't look at my message board for weeks on end. You can also contact Raeb, Myster, or Scott on Facebook/Myspace/Twitter etc.

None of this should effect your accounts that have already been activated. If there are any problems, let me know.

Squash, Squash, Squash!!!!

I've done a complete site upgrade/update and as of Sunday 23:00 GMT, I don't see any bugs. I've pretty much spent the entire weekend fixing bugs. Tired of bugs. There are quite a few extra features and there will be a few more in the coming weeks. Here's a list of the things that are a bit different.

1. Artfolio Widget. There is noting I can do to get this going. It crashes the entire site when I activate it. I apologise to anyone who used this regularly. You can use the files widget/toolbar to post pictures. If you have any questions, mail me about it.

2. Activity toolbar, widget. Your "Friends Activity" widget doesn't work anymore, however, there is a replacement. The new "Activity" widget is used for both friends and your own activity. Place two copies on your desktop or profile page. Select "edit" in the top right of the widget. You can select either "mine" for your own activity or "friends" for your friends activity. The widget defaults to "mine".

3. Members. There is a cool new little toolbar for members. There is a list of everyone on the site, a list for the most popular people on the site, and a list for recently active.

4. The Wire. It's sort of like a site-wide twitter. Play around with it, you'll get the idea pretty soon.

5. Twitter. You can now post your twitter comments. Unfortunately, it's very basic, but I am working on an upgrade in the very near future. I'll let everyone get used to the new site.

6. The front page. You'll notice that there is a different design to the front page. If you like it, let me know. If you want the old one back (well, almost like the old one) I can change it back. Let me know either way.

Hopefully this upgrade, update will make the site function better. I hope it'll work for you. If you have any problems, let me know.

Hi Friends, Welcome to Fofurreebook!

I’m writing this FAQ because I’ve noticed new friends have joined up but that they maybe missed a few steps in the setting up of their page.

It’s a little confusing here, but when you click on the EDIT PAGE link and go into the ADD WIDGETS area, you need to click SAVE after you have dragged the widgets to the columns you want them to show up in on your profile page. If you don’t click SAVE after adding widgets to the columns, they won’t show up on your profile page and your friends won’t be able to see them.

Your PROFILE PAGE. You can see your profile page by clicking on the little icon of yourself located on the top of any page on the far left. If you haven’t yet uploaded an icon, just click on the little blue/while head icon up there.

Once you are on your profile page, and your widgets are all there where you want them, you can then click on the EDIT link on each icon and edit the functions for each widget a little further. Such as, if you click the EDIT link on the FRIENDS Widget, you can change the amount of friends that will show up in that widget, and also who can see/access your widget (I recommend choosing “logged in users”), and the icon size. All of the Widgets are Editable but have different options, so check them out.

Adding an ARTFOLIO or uploading a FILE to you page. To do either, go up to the top bar there on your page, and where it says TOOLS, choose your option from the drop down menu and follow the instructions which are located on the left panel of the new page. ie: “Write a artfolio post” will lead you to the page where you can up load photos to an artfolio. Unfortunately you can only write text to an artfolio, not the individual photos within it. Check out this artfolio on my page as an example: http://www.fofurreebook.com/pg/artfolio/jedbramwell/read/5046/pillow-fight

ADDING/FINDING FRIENDS
The best way to find friends is to look on other friend’s walls. Then click on the icon of the friend you want to add to you friend widget.

If you have videos on Youtube, you can add them directly to the youtube widget by clicking the EDIT link on the widget and then copying in the url to your youtube video.

GROUPS. There’s lots of groups on here. Again, the best way to find them, is to look on other friends walls. Some groups require membership, but don’t worry about that, all are welcome in any group, so just sent the group owner and msg so they can add you.

HAVE FUN!! And if you need any help, just ask any of us who’ve been on here a while.

PS there is a HOW-TO VIDEO on youtube that shows you lots of the ins and outs of fofurreebook. I highly recommend giving it a gander: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBc9CGyMMCg

Today is my birthday! I'm 13 today!! Yippy!!!

Anyways, I've upload loads of photos into 3 artfolio albums but thought I'd mention it here because I'm not so sure if artfolio uploads show up in the activity feeds.

Here they are,
