Your Feedback
Thank you for the feedback on last week's Site Update! Here's some of what you had to say:
- In response to the Discuss topic, several deviants mentioned that they had never changed a Group's Gallery settings, but the deviants who had changed settings mentioned that the process was not what they would consider easy.
- Some deviants mentioned that they don't like getting Correspondence messages for events that are auto-approved.
- Deviants would find it helpful if thumbnails in Correspondence messages were larger. Suggested by joeyh3 and WhiteDiamondsLtd
