Already finished a couple days ago, but just wanted to say that was fun! Nice work mods!

Very stuck on one, all i can say is it is a cat seeing things, can't find the clue anywhere 

Got stuck on that one for a while too.... you just have to keep looking.

For the first clue, you could find the answer two ways. You could click on the All Staff link and go through each Mod to check out their locations or you could do a search for " "Mo(w)gli Monster's Lair". It would eventually lead you to jcat -

http://www.thecatsite.comhttps://thecatsite.com/members/3612"Threads started" it will bring up her threads. They are listed in chronological order by last post, not start date.

You'd get to this thread:

and find:

I'm hungry. Good thing we have a Recipe Exchange Social Group. Find the recipe for Raisin Pecan Oatmeal Cookies and look inside.

You could either do a search for Raisin Pecan Oatmeal Cookies or choose "Social Groups" from the dropdown menu, find the Recipe Exchange and locate the recipe that way.

My cat keeps acting like she has seen a ghost! Good thing we have an article about that. Check it out.

One of our members wrote a review for "Feline Greenies Pill Pockets for Cats - Allergy Formula" Look at their profile public messages .

You could either do a search for Feline Greenies or look through the review section. You'd eventually get to me -

http://www.thecatsite.comhttps://thecatsite.com/members/10485"Close-ups"? You really should give it a look.

If you click on "galleries" in the menu bar and then click on the "Closeups" Gallery - you would find the next clue on a picture -

Find the Moderator with the most posts and look in one of their cat pages.

Either by using the All Staff link or by hit or miss you would find out that Rosiemac is the Mod with the most posts and would find the next clue on her cat Jack's page -

http://www.thecatsite.com/a/jacks-page-by-rosiemac

This could also have been found on the home page by looking at TheCatSite.com Stats:

After people complained they couldn't find the "All Staff" link, it was also added to the sticky in the FAQ forum:

This was actually a little bit misleading.

If you go to the main article page, there is an article about keeping cats safe during Halloween.... a bit of a red herring.

If you tab through the various article tabs (breeds, behavior, health), there are no other articles that actually fit.

HOWEVER... if you go to the "snips" tab, there it is.

This took me the longest to find.

Which is where I expected to find it, but didn't. Either there or in one of the drop downs at the top of each forum.  However, adding it after the fact didn't help those of us who had already looked there and didn't see it in the first place; so there was no reason to go back and relook again.

That link should never have been at the bottom of the forum, let alone only at the bottom of some of the forums.  Once you have been to a forum once and have read the threads you are interested in reading, there is no need to scroll to the bottom of the forum ever again since the threads with new posts in them, jump to the top, which is why I had no idea there was such a link on this site.

I did a search for "moderators" and found an old thread introducing some new mods.  There were several mod posts in it, and I was able to see who had it as their "location".

I was also able to find who had the most posts in that thread.

I'm so sorry the link isn't where you felt it should be. Perhaps you could use the "Support" link to let the experienced software developers know that you don't agree with them. You will also have to scroll down to the bottom of the page for that.

Thanks for the congrats! The staff one was tricky, the ghost clue was difficult, but the last one took the longest by far!
