Marapets is now... Mobile!!!
Turning 10 Years Old (back in August 2014) was a huge milestone. A DECADE of Marapets. The internet had changed a lot since we started in 2004 but the way most things were done here had hardly changed since we opened.To survive another decade, we needed to make a lot of changes. One of the hardest things for us to do was to explain what Marapets even was! If you had no idea about pet sites, it was confusing. So we gave Marapets a story, goals, rewards, collections.. and just made the site easier for everyone. We started to update our old artwork, trying to make everything more consistent. We changed or removed features that no longer made sense. We started to migrate away from flash (which will no longer work on most of the internet from next year). And finally, we started to go through every part of Marapets, section by section and start again. Rather than have a site built for desktops, we started to build it for the smallest Mobile Devices.

We're now pleased to announce that Marapets is fully Mobile Friendly and the whole site responds to the device you are playing on. If you are playing on a Mobile or Tablet, this new design will automatically load when you are in portrait mode. Rotate the device to landscape mode and the normal, Desktop Mode of Marapets will automatically load. We understand that not every one wants a responsive design - you can switch between Mobile and Desktop by clicking the Switch to Desktop Mode link at the bottom of every page of the site.

We've had months of testing but with so many different devices and browsers out there, we can never be 100% perfect first time. If you experience any issues, please let us know at this Mobile Errors topic. Thank you for all your patience over the past year or so with places changing and constantly updating - it should finally now all start to make sense!

I usually prefer MT, but if it's important that you speak to me now and I haven't responded on MT, please send me a MM.

Looks great Ian!
And judging by the screenies in the news, mine now looks like it is supposed to as well. WOOT!

A part of me wishes that the nav bars was set up this way on desktop. It looks, and works, so much better when you don't have to scroll to get back to the top of the page to click whee you want to go.. :dribble:

@gennie its a responsive design

if you want your desktop to have the mobile design, make the window as small as a tablet or mobile :like:

Pages are COMPLETELY cut off on mobile. Only displays 1/4 of the page. Very annoying. I have even tried switching to desktop mode. What we need is an APP, not viewing through web browser. I hate rotating my phone. What makes it worse, is that when i rotate my phone, things like my inventory let me see only one row at a time.

OH! that's cool! @Ian .. though, that would probably drive me not having my browser set to fullscreen LOL

but really cool!

@erikaz13 I had a similar issue on mine, stuff was cut off and all smooshed.
Went to Ians Mobile Error topic, posted my phones info, along with screenies, and Ian was able to get it to work right after a few days of tinkering :)
May need to do the same, so he knows what is up with yours.
