Hello everyone,

You may have found a couple of new features on the forums lately:

Account Validation
We're introducing some new features to our forums over the coming days to increase the safety of our community. The first update is the introduction of account validation to confirm that the email address you have signed up with is real. From now on you will need to validate your account to post in the forums.

How to Validate Your Account
1. Visit http://www.wallaceandgromit.com/user/validate_email
2. Check your emails - you should receive an email from us containing a validation link and further instructions
3. Once you have validated your account, you can continue to post in the forums as normal.

New Forum Tools
Hide: If you don't like a message and don't want to read it again, this will hide it from your view.

Report: If you see a message that is rude, offensive, or breaks a rule - report it to the moderation team and we will investigate it.

Edit: Allows you to edit your current message. This function is the same as before but with a prettier button!

New Users
New users will now have an "introductory period" where their comments are moderated. Their comments will appear in your discussions but will be hidden until they are approved, unless you actively choose to view them.

Please note if you decide to view un-moderated comments we cannot guarantee the nature of their content.

Having Problems?
For privacy reasons we can't discuss account details on the forums, but if you have any problems validating your account please email us at web.producer@aardman.com using the email address you are registered with. Feel free to post any other questions or comments below.

I cant see a message at all.

i can.

anyone else find that they have to do a full site refresh (ctrl=F5) everytime the log in?

Nope

i love this idea thanks katie

love the pretty buttons!!
and their functions

Hi guys,

Looks like we're still having a few teething problems with new threads...bear with us and we'll get them fixed asap..

I don't like the new thing.

You said that already very rudely .

And that got you on a list !

i just reported singing sheep rude singing sheep



leave aardman alone singing sheep they done it so spam does not go on

u said that on singing sheep

You reported them? HAve they actualy one anything against the house rules? Anything at all? No. Every one has a right to their own opinion and i think you need to learn when is the right time and for what reason to report someone.

They were only stating their opinion because this must be frustrating for our newest members, but come on you don't need to report people for something like that.

exacty,itschildish,
butsnig heep isnt a new member wandfan21

I know that CF But If the blocking message thing comes up i count them as new as Aardman have not yet removed the message block from the user.

i think its because she doesnt spend much time on the website!

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, as W&GFan21 says - and the best thing to do is ignore comments that are unhelpful, I've had rude people comment on my site's survey, but that's just life.

However, in the same way, kldceltic is allowed the right to report a post to Aardman if he feels like that. There was no call for that unfriendly post W&GFan21.

Are there any more changes that are schedueled for the site?

seb i am not a boy

Apologies KLD - your name didn't give it away and I couldn't tell otherwise. I thought it better to say 'he' than 'it'!

Sorry but i thought that it was just point less to report someone when they have done nothing against the rules.

Sorry I dislike it, but I had this argument with RichD, on Shaun the sheep.

why have they got rid of it?!

because they where just trying it out

I THINK THEY SHOULD BRING IT BACK, it was awesome

yeah

hmmm looks like Wallace has been tinkering with our coding again the buttons should be back now - but let me know if you spot anything else.

Thanks everyone!

YAY THEYRE BCK!!!!!

Katie get Gromit to tinker with the coding in future he usually knows what he is doing!

I like the new background and cool new safety features

thanks

Katie i have begun to notice that sometimes when a conversation, like the drawings thread moves onto the next page, when i click on the thread it is a page behind.

Is that because it has jumped you to the latest un-read message which is on the page before the most recent?

It happens to me aswell, even if you have read all the posts on that page

katie- mine is the same problem as purple&brown. Even though i've read it quite a few times it will go to the previous page.

On the YOUR CREATIONS page, when you view a creation the staple things
<
EDITE: NOT ALL MY MESSAGE CAME OUT.
<- THOSE ARE THE STAPLE THINGS I MEAN AND THEY ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PAGE.

Like this

i have the same problem as Ursrut and P&B =/

it does it too me too

same here!

yes the same,and there's 2 "post reply's"

Hey You Did My Pic COOL!!!

you know, It Does It To Me Too.

◕‿◕no prob MMasonghi studios!
Does anyone know how to fix that glitch with the stapels????

The spiral in the otebook does tht, and sometimes when i view things, it brings the page numbers in2 negatives...
