Dog, Cat and Pet of the day question

[Cataholic]

I have long wondered why when I go into the threads and click on today's dog/cat/pet of the day the picture and description of the dog/cat/pet isn't displayed there. I know it is there on the main page, on the top, but it isn't actually IN the threads. Would it be hard to make that happen?

Hmm, it is up to the person - whoever it is who starts the thread. What does everyone think about this? Whoever starts the thread could certainly use one of the photos, that's easy enough to do ... what do other people think about this idea?

I don't think I am expressing myself clearly. When you log on to the home page, the dog/cat/pet of the day is above you to the right (at least on my page). When I click on it, I go to the POTD's story. AND, from there, of course, I can go to the link to 'talk about today's dog in Pet Talk'. BUT, that link simply takes me to the forums. I then need to go start my own thread (if I am inclined to do so). BUT, there is no picture there on the forum page, just the thread.

So, to garner more posts (something you have asked for in the past), why not make it easier to do so? Either post the picture and story of the dog/cat/pet IN the forum part directly, and allow people to comment directly underneath the picture and story, OR, allow people to post directly under the picture from the home screen.


Don't make it be a two step process. It would be something the you would set up, not the thread starters.

Oooh! Okay - now I get it! Thanks, you are right, I did misunderstand. Now that I get it, I will discuss this with Paul! Thanks for the clarification!

Now that I understand, Cataholic, we are trying making that link come here to Pet Talk to that animal's thread ...

That is a great step towards what I meant. BUT, I still would like to see the picture/story appear like it would if it was an OP, started by any one of us. We read it, see it right there, and just up until we hit 'reply', it is there. So, anyone browsing the forum would see it, with all the lovely comments underneath.
