LinkedInIn 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
Prints Integration on Deviation Pages (Beta Testers Only)
Today we're bringing you an easier way to purchase art on deviantART! When viewing a deviation that is enabled as a Print, you'll be met with a sleek new menu that is designed to be simple, straightforward, and encouraging.
Group Journal Editing in Sta.sh Writer (Beta Testers Only)
In addition, we're bringing you a feature that makes it easier for members to collaborate using Group Journals. Admins who have Journal editing privileges can now edit Sta.sh Journals posted by others. The feature makes it easier to edit, maintain and collaborate within your Group.

Your Feedback
Thank you all for the feedback left on last week's update! Here's some of what you had to say.
- In response to our asking about the Prints submission process, several users mentioned that being prompted to submit every image deviation as a Print was cumbersome, particularly when submitting works in progress.
- ~Bloodsong13T and =overseer mentioned that selecting options when setting up or editing Prints submissions can become tedious.
- Feedback regarding the suggestion about comments auto-updating was mixed. Some were pleased with the idea, while others felt it was more distracting than helpful.
- Deviants would like a way to preview how their art will look when printed before submitting it as a Print. Suggested by =overseer
- Some deviants would like an easier way to create sub-bullets in lists, in Sta.sh Writer. Suggested by ^Katara-Alchemist
- Deviants would like to send notes from a Group account. Suggested by ~aboveClouds
- It would be helpful for a deviation sold as a Print to show the number of sales it has had. Suggested by ~Blue-Koi
- Some deviants would like to be able to embed video into their portfolios. Suggested by ~SoulAura777
- Deviants would like to be able to download drawings they've done in deviantART muro from their Sta.sh. Suggested by ~Mattehboy
Discuss!
The Friends System
The Watch feature allows you to follow your favourite artist's artwork and activity, while also giving you the ability to mark other deviants as being your friend. How would you like to see the friends system be improved? What features would you like it to have?
Have a suggestion, idea, or feedback? Leave a comment on this article!
Find a bug? Report it to the Help Desk! (Be as detailed as possible!)
I see ad's etc etc.
I have 14months of membership, would be a shame if they didn't work.
no normal comments, only comments where we have reportet as spam
i got today 5-6 spam comments under one picture X_X now i have disabled comments because it looks so ugly
When will we be able to delete group notes in our group(s) ?
It has been, what.. 2 ? 3 years, and still nothing ?
...they give the option to keep, but not the opposite and EXTREMELY BASIC option to delete ?
What's up with that logic, seriously ?
If you wacht someone and marked him/her as friend, you could get an Activity Message when he/she got banned
a few people who I watch got banned lately and I always found out late, so I was wondering if this could be an option
1. The site interface still sucks. After more than a month and failed correspondence with the help desk. D.A. still lags like hell.
2. The GIANT OVERBEARING THUMBNAILS ARE HIDEOUS!!! WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU PEOPLE THINKING???
3. YOU blatantly ignore for more than a month peoples complaints. YOU are being completely disrespectful. And people should not stand for such assholishness and snobbery.
4. I WILL MAKE IT SIMPLE!
Shrink the thumbnails. shrink the thumbnails. SHRINK THE THUMBNAILS.
Shrink the thumbnails. shrink the thumbnails. SHRINK THE THUMBNAILS.
Shrink the thumbnails. shrink the thumbnails. SHRINK THE THUMBNAILS.
Fix the interface. fix the interface. FIX THE INTERFACE.
Fix the interface. fix the interface. FIX THE INTERFACE.
Fix the interface. fix the interface. FIX THE INTERFACE. It still takes up to FIVE freaking minutes for any D.A. page to load correctly. Absolutely ridiculous!!!
You all have no respect for us people who generate your revenue, if you decide to not adhere to our requests. HOW SAD!!!
Pathetic.
