In our continuous effort to improve the DeviantArt experience, we publish weekly Site Updates to keep members informed and to gather feedback. Below is a list of recent changes and bug fixes made to the site.

Last week, we didn't post a Site Update because there weren't community-facing changes for us to update about. However, the reason for that is because our team has been hard at work on upcoming features, such as...

Polls No Longer Require Owner Vote

The first of the additions to the DeviantArt Timeline has already been implemented, and was a very popular community suggestion. When Premium Members create polls now, they can see the results direct without having to vote!



Change Log

  • When trying to open the group deviations section of Notifications in a new tab, a different section would load instead. Fixed by justgalym
  • It wasn't possible to remove all deviations from a group via the arrow menu on the notifications page. Fixed by justgalym
  • When uploading files to submit, the title pulled from the file could contain invalid deviation title characters, HTML entities, or unescaped quotes. Any deviations affected by this have since been repaired. Fixed by Alisey
  • Some links in our Copyright Policy were broken. Fixed by kemayo
  • Old Browse URLs were not redirecting, and instead gave a "category not found" error. Fixed by kemayo
  • The mood/extras section would not display when looking at a preview of a journal. Fixed by yumeruby

I'm looking forward to the thumbnails finally being fixed after 3 years.

But I'm also preparing for disappointment about the same thing. I really hope that the thumbnails will respect transparency again (even the maligned app got that right) but suspect they won't, and I really want to see equal treatment on a grid return instead of preferential treatment to certain aspect ratios.
