Your best bet is to post the pictures of the dragons up here - just cut and copy the stuff from the "view" part. That way your dragons get more views, and have a better chance of hatching in time!

Don't I need to worry about my ratio of views to clicks getting out of healthy proportion?

Yes....but the opposite of what you're thinking. You need to make sure that your clicks don't exceed your views. By posting them up with the pictures, it ensures that you get all the views, without too many clicks

Yeah, but I haven't been reading much lately, just posting from time to time.

Don't know what went wrong, but all your eggs are little gray clouds, and any time I click on one it says "You can't seem to find the dragon you're looking for".

She put them on 'hide' status to prevent clicking. I think she ended up with softshell. From the forums FAQ:

My egg has soft shell! What kind does it have?

There are 4 different types of soft shell, it's important to know which you have to be able to treat them.
1. A bad ratio of views vs unique views. If you have about 15 or more times the number of views as unique views you have this kind of soft shell.
2. More clicks than unique views.
3. More unique views than views.
4. Too many views too fast. If you got many views on the first day and your ratios are otherwise healthy you have this kind of soft shell.

And:
How do I cure my soft shell?

Each type of soft shell has a different treatment:
1. Post your egg somewhere with slower traffic where people won't view the page with the egg multiple times. This is most often caused by posting your eggs on a small forum with a close group of people, on a page where people will refresh, or people deliberately refreshing your eggs.
2. Remove the link part of the code, only posting the image. This will prevent people from giving it any more clicks until the ratio is fixed. This kind of soft shell can heal itself, so it is not so important to treat as long as the ratio is not very bad.
3. Post it somewhere where the same people will view the egg multiple times.
4. Hide the egg for at least a day. Usually eggs with this kind of soft shell already have enough views to hatch, so you can hide it for a few days and it will hatch fine.

Same here. What's supposed to happen?

I got too many clicks too fast so I hid the eggs in a cloud. The illness (a soft shell) cleared, so I unhid them for a while. Two of the eggs got sick again, so they all went back into a cloud.

Hopefully I'll get some hatchlings out of this...

Hiding them overnight cured the softshell, so I unhid them.

BTW, Aliza, I wasn't really trying to talk you into it. I was mainly trying to tease you aobut pink eggs. apologies if I ended up loading you up with another time-waster.
