Could not get it to work. Finally found it needed a LOWER screen res - moved from 1280 x 1024 to 1024 x 768. Of course that cuts off the right side of the posts on my monitor. :rolleyes:

Others with Webkinz problems like this??? :confused:

That's like THE toy to get kids this year.

With that being said, I still have no idea exactly what all the fuss is about. Clearly there's some sort of computer interactivity, and you register them online, I think, but other than that I have no idea what the scoop is on them.

Nothing like the ignorance of grownups without kids. :)

My kids have them and go online all the time. They have not mentioned any problems. It's not one I check on so much anymore. It seems pretty harmless, so I rarely pull it up anymore.

Oh, yeah, we have to use IE and can't use MF.


I call it the equivalent of the Tamogotchi from over ten years ago. It just works with the web...

"Concerns have been raised about children's use and overuse of the toys. Some worry that children will become addicted to the game."

Of course our kids learn to overuse things by observing us their parents.
