Hello!
I have been considering, for some time now, to remove the listing of names under pets in the Lucain/Paragon/Soveris records. Basically, making them like the Diosol records.
Originally, my main purpose of listing names was so that it would be easier to identify pets if users renamed them, they had image changes or changed hands. Such as, "Blake is now named Alex," or "The Lucain I named Blake is now going to KittyMcFluffykins." Which made it so that I didn't have to grab the image url and search for it. It cuts down the work a little bit over all, if I have names to search. Users stopped referring to pets by their names over time and simply list their images, so my mechanical reason for it doesn't really exist anymore.
If taking out the listing of names, it would certainly improve the time it takes to update each list, as I wouldn't have to input names, and wouldn't have to record name changes.
On the other hand, even I somewhat like listing names, just as a means to have their names written somewhere in the event that I don't have the pet in my pen yet.
I don't particularly mind, either way, although it is tempting, to cut back on the time and making it a little more efficient in recording purposes. So, I figured, I would ask! If users prefer having names listed, then I will happily continue to do so. If the majority of users don't care or are fine not having names listed, then I'll make the change.
So, let me know your opinion?
