What's New


Autocomplete for Mentions


We've just launched an addition to the Mentions feature that makes interaction easier than ever!

When using @ to Mention a deviant or Group, a list will now appear in a menu while you type that includes deviants and Groups you +Watch, deviants who have already commented in the conversation, as well as deviants who have the exact username that you have already typed in, if applicable. This addition makes conversation more dynamic than ever, as communication becomes even easier.

Please note that this feature is only available on places where the "Add Media" button is available (comments, deviation descriptions, Journals, etc.).

Your Feedback


Thank you for the feedback left on last week's Site Update! Here's some of the feedback you left for us.
  • Deviants were positive in response to Autocomplete being launched to Beta Testers.
  • Feedback regarding the Discuss topic varied. Several deviants mentioned that they like the Gallery Stats page, but that they would like more filters to view stats in.
  • Rakceyen and rotane suggested that being able to view more specific timeframes for stats would make data more valuable to them. TarynNefdt mentioned that tracking referring websites would be helpful, and AdorkaStock suggested a tracking method to see what deviants search for in one's Gallery.
  • Deviants would like a Sta.sh Writer option in the Submit menu. Suggested by Shadowweb101
  • Some deviants would like to be able to see a deviant's most recent deviation by hovering over their username while browsing the site. Suggested by Ichigo-Smoothie

Sure would be nice to have an arrange submissions by newest to oldest in the FEATURED folder instead of just being in the other folders. I am getting really tired of having to manually rearange things...
