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
Multi-Submit and Scheduled Submit (Beta Testers)
The Price Cap For Commissions Has Been Raised!
deviantART no longer supports Firefox 12 or earlier
Change Log
- Thumbnails included in Commissions widgets would display regardless of Mature Content settings. Fixed by $adahacker
- A small number of Prints purchases made with PayPal or deviantART Points that were rejected for quality purposes were not refunded in a timely manner. All pending refunds have been made. Fixed by $randomduck
- The browser upgrade banner has been changed to indicate that we no longer support Firefox versions 3.6 through 12. Fixed by $shadowhand
- Notes did not appear when the subject line was clicked. Fixed by $shadowhand
- Occasionally, deviations would not open in Internet Explorer when clicking on a thumbnail. Fixed by $shadowhand
- On the mobile site, the "more..." button in Browse was not working. Fixed by $shahyarg
- Journals and custom text modules with an enormous number of thumbs would fail to load. There is now a generous limit to how many thumbnails can be included in each. Fixed by $kemayo
- Removing a deviation from a Group would not remove the Group's avatar from the deviation page. Fixed by $shadowhand
- If one's browse settings were set to "zoomed in" by default, the Purchase Print button in Full View mode did nothing. Fixed by $yury-n
- Having a huge number of Favourites folders was causing overflow and pushing older folders out of the view when new ones were added. Fixed by $muteor
- The Affiliate button on some Groups was still clickable, even if a deviant did not have permission to request Affiliates with that Group. Fixed by $yury-n
- The Featured Announcement module in a Group's admin area would not work properly if there were a large number of announcements. Fixed by $randomduck
- In Internet Explorer 10, Flash deviations would continue to display on the page when browsing deviations using the "Next" and "Previous" buttons. Fixed by $shahyarg and $shadowhand
- When deleting the last item in a folder from the Sta.sh API, the response did not clarify that the folder was deleted. Fixed by $muteor
- The Sta.sh API's "Move item" action was briefly broken. Fixed by $muteor
- A rare error could occur where previewing a Profile widget could make it impossible to install. Fixed by $randomduck
- Non-Latin characters used within Deviant List names on the Friends List page would interfere with the page display. Fixed by $shadowhand
Sta.sh / Submit
- Uploading new items to specific stacks would make them appear as "deleted content" until the page was refreshed. Fixed by $kouiskas
- Logged out users couldn't download sta.sh files. Fixed by $kouiskas
- The Opera web browser doesn't correctly support dragging and dropping files anymore, but the UI still suggested that it worked properly. Fixed by $kouiskas
- The Submit page would appear blank for some deviants. Fixed by $kouiskas
- An unnecessary browser alert would occur if one's internet connection went down. Fixed by $kouiskas
Sta.sh Writer
- For Safari 6 users on Mountain Lion, closing the Writer sidebar when leaving a comment in Sta.sh would scroll the page back to the top. Fixed by $kemayo
- Sta.sh Writer will now strip some dangerous HTML attributes by default. Fixed by $kemayo
- In Opera, Sta.sh Writer would assume any text pasted in was HTML. Fixed by $kemayo
- Literature and Journal thumbnails generated from :thumb: codes would not display the correct style of thumbnail. Fixed by $kemayo
- A broken image would display when you clicked "Submit" on Writer. Fixed by $kemayo
- The "Link" toolbar item was broken when leaving comments in Sta.sh. Fixed by $inazar
- The Writer sidebar will now automatically load more results as you scroll down. Fixed by $Alisey
Your Feedback
- Feedback regarding the limitation added to deviantWATCH was mixed. Some deviants mentioned that they were not happy that a limit was put in place despite the limit not directly affecting them, while other deviants mentioned that they couldn't imagine trying to watch that many deviants.
- To give some clarity and perspective on the limitation, $Ikue wrote a helpful journal: +Watch limits and you
- Responses to the Discuss topic varied, as deviants mentioned many ways that they discover artists on deviantART. Some of the methods mentioned include browsing the Newest page, browsing through More Like This results, browsing Group Galleries, or by browsing through the Favourites of friends or other deviants.
