So maybe you could add an option like a note on a present. Then deviants could add to gifts "Happy Birthday" "Great pictures" "Thanks for the helpful critique"
And may I say: a big thank-you to the small improvements you've made as of late. And they actually work! After a little re-tweaking, of course, but nevertheless....
Thank you.
I don't know if this is just my laptop, but I'm unable to drag a deviation up into the favorites bar? I go to draw it but nothing happens. Even if I open up my collections prior to dragging the picture, it won't work. My brother told me I can just up to the little arrow next the the "add to favorites" button and click which folder I'd like to put it in, but I thought I'd share this problem because it should be fixed anyways.
Also, this is REALLY annoying. I've been trying to put my journal widget on my front page because it has art trade & commission info. Okay, so I put it there, no trouble, it's there. And then I refresh the page or go from somewhere else back to my profile, and it's gone. I don't know if it's only my account that can't see it, but I find it really annoying...
If you insist upon it, then just let the Featured folder of any given Group be the one folder (and the only one) which you have to go into and move pics around inside.
But Featured only! Not the first folder after Featured, okay???
