Your Cats Issues and Problems

Yesterday I created a Cat Page for Bobert, which can be found here.

The display was fine last night, but today the right-hand column with Arrival Story, Favorite Food and Treats, and Favorite Toys is mostly being cut off --- almost like there's a blank sheet of paper placed vertically over most of the text. It looks this way on 3 different computers.

I deleted the page and recreated it --- same issue. I thought the picture might be too large (even though the file was accepted) but it's actually smaller than the picture that I used for Pepsi's page, which I also created last night.

Does anyone have any ideas as to how this can be fixed?

Thanks in advance!

My recommendation would be to resize the picture down to 480 x 480 and then attach the new image. The rendering issue may be due to the large size of the photo.

It doesn't work for me either - and I'm a Young Cat.

To get full Young Cat status you must have 20 posts and 30 days in membership
Then you get:
  • 20 stored PMs
  • 15 additional avatars to choose from
  • Access to Cat Pages

Thank you! I'm still navigating my way around - is there some place that lists the different levels and requirements?

Edit - nevermind! I finally found it!

Someone else at the begining of this thread mentioned a wish list... If this is the right place, I have something to add!

I did a poll in the Cat Lounge about Cat Pages as to what to do with fosters' pages, and many people suggested I ask the Marvelous Admins here at TCS if there is any way we can get a "foster" button, like there is a "memorial" button. I thought that was a great idea!!

Because I know I will never get updates on most of my fosters, so I can't update the current cat pages. But making them memorials is kind of sad, because that's generally for when they've passed to the bridge.

So, if it's possible, I would love to add a "foster that's moved on" option to the Cat Pages!


Thanks for considering!

I recently graduated to Adult Cat and suddenly, I no longer have the ability to view Cat Pages. I don't see the image icons to the right of people's names any longer, nor can I even see Niko's page as Your Cats menu option is gone. Did I have to do something after I was upped a level that I wasn't aware of?

EDIT: Whoops! I just read in another thread that Cat Pages are down for everyone. I guess it just happened to coincide with my level being raised.

I just got access to the My Cats section and made a profile for my kitten, Iroh. It worked fine except for uploading a cat picture -- I browsed for the image on my computer, pressed the save button, and it came back with this error:

There was an error creating your cats image directory. Please contact the Administrators to notify them of the issue.

The picture was never saved. How do I get this to work?

We're having problems uploading pictures to that section, and a tech is working on it. There's nothing you can do to get it to work right now.

I'm having the same issue as noted above - is it still not possible to upload photos to our cat pages?

So I was trying to edit my cat pages,since they are much bigger then when I first started the pages.And I could change all of the info with no problem.

However when I try to change the picture it won't let me...it will upload it and such,just the picture does not appear.

I resized the pictures properly and it says it uploads,but in the edit...the pictures are the old ones I already had there! Why won't they change to the new ones I am trying to load?

The cat pages don't work properly. A lot of people are unable to upload any pictures at all, so it's probably best to leave well enough alone if you've got pictures up.

I just uploaded a new page for Merlin a couple of days ago and didn't have any problems.

I am unable to post pix of my guys. I have resized them per the specs, (under 200KB, 640 X 480) ( I can't remember now where I saw this), but they are still not working and I am getting the same message as at129. Every day I try again, since some people seem to be able to post their pix. Do I have the wrong specs?

We are having intermittent problems where some people are having problems. It is still under investigation.
