In our continuous effort to improve the deviantART experience, we're publishing weekly Site Updates to keep members informed and to gather feedback. Below is a list of recent changes to the site, bug fixes, and feedback that was brought up by members in the last Site Update.

What's New


Update to the Twitter Widget

The Twitter widget for Profile Pages has been given a small update to better match Twitter's branding. It also allows the widget to tell you how many followers a user has on Twitter at a glance.

Upgrade to Premium Membership to install the Twitter widget!


Commission Ratings Coming Soon

In the near future, we are planning to implement ratings for Commissions, so that buyers can leave feedback regarding the artist's performance on a completed Commission. In addition to the Commissions Portal, which we are still building and improving on, Commission Ratings will make it even easier for buyers to find hardworking, high-quality artists, and for artists to promote themselves.


Promoted Deviations and Journals

Promoted deviations and journals are pieces of media selected by and sent from deviantART that we believe you should know about. They represent deviations and journals we believe are of significant importance -- so much so that we want them to have a greater reach within the deviantART network. They appear and act just like any other deviation or journal in your Message Center, with the exception that they're clearly marked as Promoted. As with all deviations and journals, they can be commented on, favorited, shared, and more.



Change Log

  • Deviation pages would not always open in Internet Explorer. Fixed by $shadowhand
  • Menus on the mobile website were not working. Fixed by $inazar and $shadowhand
  • Improvements were made to the sorting of the Friends List. Fixed by $shadowhand
  • Deviations could show up in the "More from this artist" section on their own deviation page. Fixed by $helloandre
  • When deleting stored deviations using the Opera browser, all modal buttons displayed as "Adjust Image". Fixed by $adahacker
  • Premium Membership rebilling would result in an additional "Gift" email being sent. Fixed by $yury-n
  • The "Follow us on Tumblr" link in the footer would erroneously open in a Share sized popup window. Fixed by $shahyarg
  • Items in the header were not correctly aligned on the mobile website. Fixed by $helloandre
  • Very long descriptions on Gallery pages did not adjust page layout gracefully. Fixed by $shahyarg
  • Click to view deviantART muro drawings in comments would only work for the first image. Fixed by $inazar
  • There were some overlap issues between comment replies and header menus. Fixed by $inazar
  • Various fixes were made to the Sta.sh API. Fixed by $muteor
  • The "View Original" and "Product Preview" buttons did not work when viewing Prints on deviations page. Fixed by $helloandre
  • The wording for the 5,000 Watch limit warning messages was unclear. Fixed by $helloandre

Sta.sh / Submit


  • When opening an item from a stack, it would be impossible to navigate to the second page of comments. Fixed by $kouiskas
  • Uploading non-image items would result in a broken thumbnail until the page was refreshed. Fixed by $kouiskas
  • When returning to a deviation page after editing that deviation, modals would be incorrectly styled. Fixed by $kouiskas
  • On touch devices, the "Enter text" and "Select File from Sta.sh" links were hidden behind the upload button. Fixed by $muteor
  • Uploading non-image items as Premium Content would result in thumbnails being stuck on "stashing". Fixed by $kouiskas
  • Various bugs related to Multi-Submit and Scheduled Submit have been fixed. Fixed by $kouiskas and $drommk

Sta.sh Writer


  • If someone drew on an image in deviantART muro that had been linked to and resized in a Sta.sh Writer document, the resizing would be lost. Fixed by $kemayo
  • Clicking on stacks in the Writer sidebar could cause display problems. Fixed by $inazar
  • Search boxes in the sidebar were not consistently aligned. Fixed by $inazar
  • Some sections of the sidebar had a large blank space at the bottom in Firefox. Fixed by $Alisey
  • The friends list in the deviantART section of the sidebar would cut off before showing all friends. Fixed by $Alisey
  • Multiple links that were included right next to one another were being mangled down into a single link in Webkit browsers. Fixed by $Alisey
  • Editing Journal Skins on the Write a Journal Entry page was broken for Beta Testers. Fixed by $Alisey

Your Feedback


Thanks for the feedback left on last week's Site Update! Here's some of what you had to say.
  • Deviants were positive about Multi-Submit and Scheduled Submit.
  • Feedback regarding the discuss topic varied. Having rich-text formatting and the emoticon sidebar in comments were both well-received, though some deviants who mentioned thumbnails or full-sized images being included in comments were opposed to their inclusion, or else their inclusion without a limit.

Discuss!

Sharing Deviations
When you find artwork that you think a friend would like to see, how do you typically choose to share it with them? Do you use the "Share" feature to send them a Note? Do you manually send them a Note with a link or thumbnail in it? Do you share it with them via chat, email, or instant messaging? What other methods do you use?

Stop killing People in My Name

Journal Entry: Thu May 23, 2013, 2:30 PM
Before you watch me
My Groups
Commissions



Do you hear me ?!! You !! Yes ,YOU !! The one who pretend to be a Muslim !!! :iconangryplz:

On Behalf of the 1.5 billion peace-loving Muslims around the world , I Command You to STOP !! :angered:

God ,I'm so tired of those extremists that I can't keep silent any more !

All those crimes committed in the name of the most merciful religion !! :(

Did they ever read the Quran ? Didn't they read
"و ما ارسلناك الا رحمة للعالمين"

"We sent thee not, but as a Mercy for all creatures." ?? 21:107  

Nor this phrase
"من قتَل نفسًا بغير نفس أَو فسادٍ في الْأَرض فكأنما قتل الناس جميعًا ومن أَحياها فكَأنَما أَحيا الناس جميعًا"

"whoever kills a soul not in retaliation of murder, or (and) to spread mischief in the land - it is as if he had killed all mankind. And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved all mankind"?? 5:32 ??


Didn't they hear the prophet Mohammed's definition of the Muslim "المسلم من سلم الناس من لسانه و يده"

"The Muslim is the one whom people are safe from his tongue and hand " ?


Didn't they hear his saying

"يسروا و لا تعسروا و بشروا و لا تنفروا "

" Treat people with ease and do not be hard on them; give them glad tidings and do not make them run away (from Islam)." ??

Do they really think that by those pathetic and disgusting acts they are going to kick the invaders out of the Muslims' land ? Do they think that they can counteract the western ideas from entering our children's minds with this dreadful ideology ?

These aims are only achieved with knowledge and science . We should improve ourselves to be able to compete the "invaders" , not with strength ,but with science .

The only thing these terrorists succeeded at is to deform the image of Islam ,granting the worst reputation to millions of innocent Muslims around the world !

I here declare ,and God as my witness ,that you have no right to call yourselves Muslims ,as Islam is the total opposite of what you do !! :X

*********

I know that this is not my peaceful and calm nature you used to see ,but I've had enough of people distorting the image of my beloved religion :shakefist:

Promoted Deviations and Journals

Thu May 23, 2013, 12:27 PM


Table of Contents

What is Promoted?

Promoted deviations and journals are pieces of media we believe you should know about.  They appear and act just like any other deviation or journal in your Message Center, with the exception that they're clearly marked as Promoted.  As with all deviations and journals, they can be commented on, favorited, shared, and more.


Where does Promoted come from?

Promoted messages are selected by and sent from deviantART.  They represent deviations and journals we believe are of significant importance -- so much so that we want them to have a greater reach within the deviantART network.


Who sees Promoted?

A Promoted deviation or journal will only appear in a deviant's Message Center if the content involved will likely be of high relevance to the deviant.


How often will Promoted be seen?

We're only interested in sending Promoted messages we believe are relevant and valuable. As such, we will remain extremely mindful when considering which messages are sent and how often.


Can deviants remove Promoted messages from their Message Centers?

As with all deviations and journals that appear in Message Centers, Promoted messages can be closed by clicking the "X" next to the deviation or journal, or by selecting multiple messages and choosing the "Remove" option.


Can deviants opt out of receiving Promoted?

Premium Members can opt out of receiving Promoted messages by visiting the General section of their Settings and unchecking "Check here to receive Promoted messages." Non-Premium Members cannot opt out.


Can deviants opt out of receiving Hot Topics or Contest Announcements?

While Premium Members have the ability to opt out of receiving Promoted messages, they cannot opt out of Hot Topics or Contest Announcements. This is because deviantART needs to maintain an open channel with deviants for official communications.
