Adopting and name changes?

[Mayhem]

Hi! I'm just posting to ask why some pets owner's names get changed to yours when you trade, and some don't?
I've trades some rats today, 2 of them changed owners to me but the rest have styed with their original owners names.

I'm not complaining! Just curious as to which criteria decides which one changes and which doesnt!

Sorry if this is a stupid question

It takes a while for the name to change after a trade. But if you check back after a few minutes to an hour, the name should be different :3

I've updated the system so that the images are changed on the server immediately to show the new name if you make a trade. However:

- You need to press refresh to see the new image
- It can only update pet pictures with the background colours that we commonly use on the website

Pictures with custom background colours or viewed without pressing "refresh" on your browser will still take up to a few hours to refresh.
