          getting a weird page thing going on with Items Currently in In Stock for the store…..instead of one long page which I liked since you can see everything available, it now shows pages….but there’s only 12 pages of items but there’s 51 pages at the bottom listed? can we go back to the old way please? not liking this at all…..

          4 things I'm looking for:
          1. Mother Meerkat or the new one Melody is working on
          2. production color Sitting Young Oriental dragons to be made in more colors besides VF, Brimstone would be awesome!
          3. Female Griffin – Siamese with White
          4. September Raffle Prize 2022 AHD Male Griffin

            I’ve reverted to the old design for now. The problem is that having all products on one page means that the page is loading an awful lot of data, which puts a strain on the website. But I will look for a different solution—there’s another method I can try.

              The site has been flooded overnight with spam accounts and spam forum posts. New account creation is temporarily disabled while I deal with this. Thank you.

                Thank you. I received over 200 spam notifications in my mailbox from the forum/webiste in just the past 2 hours.

                  OK, I have removed the hundreds of new spam accounts and forum topics and replies. The forum is now unlocked again, so you can post as usual. For now, new user registration is still disabled while I put additional spam barriers in place. I know that this recent spam was posted to topics that many of you subscribe to, and as a result you got emails notifying you of the new (spam) posts. Our apologies for that—we have been under constant and shifting types of spam attacks lately, and we are doing our best to combat it. Thanks for your understanding.

                      I received over 299 spam messagess on Monday, September 28, 2025. All of them had junk writing and were advertising either how to contact Expedia, Quicken Books, and sometimes referring to the site rules (again, with junk writing). I am not able to put all 299+ messages together to send to you, and I do not have the time to take each message and put the information into a document to then send to you. I would like to just stop it. I have put a block on the messages, but they all had the correct windstoneeditions.com address.

                      What should I do? I want to receive the genuine messages. But this is completely out of control. Please help.
