Petopia Homepage Jumpscare

Unread post by WerebearGuy »

I just wanna say that, when I clicked my bookmark for Petopia and it came up with a totally different page than intended, I thought I clicked on one of my shady bookmarks instead. I think a big banner underneath the main links on the homepage would've been a bit better than a totally different page. Granted, the reason for that page was also fairly sudden (and obviously for a good cause), but the page itself appearing in place of what was expected was a shocker.

Found a bug? Contact me so I can investigate; it's likely far worse a bug than what you think.

I didn't see that at all. Thanks for the head's up.

I had the same reaction when I clicked on my Petopia bookmark and got a completely different page. It was so unexpected that I thought I’d clicked a dodgy link by mistake! A big banner or a pop-up would have been way better to let us know something changed. It was a real surprise, even though I understand the page was for a good cause.
