Well now, that sounds like lots of fun! Stay tuned to Webkinz Newz for more exciting announcements, including when you’ll see my NEW Caring Clinic at the Clubhouse!
Take care, Kinzville!
Hooray for all of these!!!
So much great stuff! Really needed good news today!
Thanks for the updates! It looks like it’s going to be a fun month. I can’t wait for the Valentine’s Day events!
I have a question, when is the clinic going to open?
Thank you for windows mode! I’m excited for the trophy challenges and the cinnamon heart tree seeds.
Thank you so much for the Windows option! You guys are the best!!
Great Updates…Thanks Dr. Quack!
Thank you so much for letting the taskbar show at the bottom of the screen. This is GREAT! This will definitely make playing Webkinz easier. Now you need to work on letting us save passwords.
That would be great, I miss being able to save my accounts info in the login area.
OMG that is AWESOME about the window version!!!! Now – can you PLEASE allow it to remember usernames and passwords?!! Because you forced us to get complicated passwords a few months ago, and this is a huge inconvenience.
Also we are definitely back to needing a site-wide full mute option, too.
Yes, agree about the mute option. I used to play music while on Webkinz and then I couldn’t once it was full-screen and you couldn’t mute the site. Now there’s a window mode (yay!) but I’d love it if the site could be muted too.
We also need a better way to scroll between pets in the pets tab. I can only see 7 at a time and cannot scroll to select my 8th pet. She is very sad because of this :(
I remember getting really worried the first time this happened to me too because there was one pet that I just couldn’t access, unless another pet walked into his room and then I clicked on him so he could get some exercise and some dinner. I discovered that, in the pet selection dock, I can hold down the left mouse button and drag the dock left or right to access the pet that I couldn’t get to. I also just had the pleasure, for the first time, of trying the pet search bar on the mobile app. It was faster and easier than swiping and scrolling to get to pets that I hadn’t played with for a while. (And it gave me the challenge of seeing if I could remember all of their names! LOL!) I hope that this helps @blackiebearisgreat!
Thank you for all the amazing new items! I can’t wait!!!
