What's New


Writing Descriptions with Sta.sh Writer


As part of our initiative to make formatting and conversation easier and more dynamic, you can now use the Add Media tool to add content and formatting to deviation descriptions, Sta.sh item descriptions, and Sta.sh stack descriptions!

This makes it easier than ever to add formatting to your artist's description, and it also makes it easier than ever for Premium Members to include images in descriptions!



New "Create A Profile" Flow


We've updated and simplified the "Create Your Profile" modal to make it easier to sign up and get your Profile Page started!

Your Feedback


Thanks for your feedback on last week's Site Update! Here's some of what you had to say.
  • Feedback regarding the update to the Earnings page was positive.
  • Responses to the Discuss topic varied. Several deviants mention that they add Prints to their Wishlist when browsing, and then purchase them at a later date, while other deviants mentioned searching in the Prints Shop or browsing their Favourites for artwork that has Prints enabled.

Discuss!


Multi-Submit

In June, Multi-Submit was launched, giving Premium Members the ability to easily upload and submit several deviations from the Submit page all at once. Have you used Multi-Submit? If so, how often do you use it, and what do you submit with it? Do you find it easy or useful to be able to submit multiple deviations at once?

So about 2 weeks ago , i've been working on bios for characters for a group im in.  in sta.sh , i would simple upload my work into their and in  the description i would type everything out. 

However, upon uploading them, a technical difficulty occur and i lost everything in the description, all my work just disappears like that.  


What's stange is that if i share the link of my characters on skype, i can see the info still there, but when clicking on it's gone.
