on changes you would like to see to the site.

Oli in the coming weeks will be switching to the new beta version  http://beta.pedigreedatabase.com/ if everything works out as planned I could see full use of the beta by the end of July.

If you see anything you would like improved, changed or added, now is the time to speak up. Please be constructive.

We know there are things still missing on the beta but if you see something please speak up because we miss stuff.

 

There has been discussion here in the past of paying a yearly fee to go advertisement free. Just wondering who might be interested in a no ads PDB.  This would improve load times and cut back on bandwidth.

 

 

 

'Yearly fee'... How much information would be available for those who are not paying? In other words, using pdb as a resource for pedigree links of one's dogs, how much will non-payers get to see? Workingdogseu has "premium member' for payers...they are the only members who can research a pedigree. No line breeding is available, no pedigree beyond three or four generations, (cannot go back beyond what is minimal in the ped).
So if people who are not paying members, the site is not valuable. I personally think it is a big problem, as most regular people are not going to pay membership to look at a pedigree when they are only looking at a litter for a once in ten year dog. Would a non paying-member be able to click on siblings, offspring while researching.

The only difference is you would not see ads and might get a couple extra goodies thrown in.

Even for those who are not payers?

I'm not sure if this was suggested or not but could we get a health and nutrition section seperate from the breed forums? Its just easier to post food and health questions in a seperate section, and that way people who post in the future can easily go to those questions if they have the same issue(s).

If you don't pay you would see ads.

 

Celtic,

I can look into adding another forum. Was actually thinking of contracting the training and show forums back into the GSD or main forums.

Gsd, got it. Thank you.

I would rather not have any fee for the site and see the advertizing

What if we required everyone to turn off ad blockers to view the site?

The only issue with that is that when I didn't have ad blockers on I got a serious virus that wouldn't get off my computer no matter what I did. My whole computer crashed and it hasn't been the same since. I can't open certain files directly anymore and have to do it manually by going to the program its supposed to open with or in 'Downloads." This was just last month too. So, now I don't take my ad blocker off no matter what and I scan my computer weekly now too.
