A few suggestions I have: I'm not a huge fan of the new thumbnail size for favorites. Maybe a way to change that for personal preference are in order (either as a premium member or a generic member.

Also emoticons: eye-roll (maybe 8-} ), and somehow creating a bow\curtsy icon.

I've had some consistent issues with the comment sidebar emoticons. I can usually tell someone I love the deviation. but joy and wow are among those I can't figure out.

If it's a bug, can some site guru fix it, and if it's just me, can someone explain what I'm doing wrong?

I think that their should be a section in the toolbar/tab thing at the top for current contests held by dA as well as the latest site update

why can't you select what section of your work you wish to preview, some work is difficult to assess based on the thumbnail size currently available!

for example i may only want to show people the face in the thumbnail but when they click on it they can see the whole body.

I'm not sure whether this has been suggested before, or whether it could be taken in consideration: could it be possible to make it so deviations aren't "duplicated" between original deviant and groups in one's Deviantwatch?

I watch a load of artists - as my dA is some sort of inspiration bookmark for me - and a load of groups; it will often happen that I'll have a considerable chunk of my messages duplicated between the notification I get from the original artist who posted their artwork and the group which featured it. Most of the time this happens instantly. It can be nice to be reminded of a piece of art which gets featured a few weeks or more after the artist has submitted it to dA, but it looks a bit untidy in my opinion when I have the same deviation in the artist's stack and right next to it in a couple of groups' stack.
Perhaps it could be done so that individuals could set their own preferences: if they don't mind it at all leave it as it is; if they do they can decide how many days (with a maximum, I guess) there have to be between an original submission and a feature in a group (or more groups...) to have the piece of art re-submitted to their deviantwatch.

For Sta.sh Writer documents, I noticed there is no option to add a picture thumbnail like we can do with HTML documents. This would be very convenient for people who write using Sta.sh and want to illustrate their stories.

When you're editing the widgets for your user page, at the bottom where there are widgets you can add, the 'preview widget' and 'add widget' buttons are all the same color, so it's very confusing. it'd probably help if they were made separate colors.
(I thought they were different already, but I checked just now and they aren't. So unless it's just a glitch or something, changing the colors would really help. Thanks.)

It would be nice to have a "delete deviation stack" button inside the stack itself, instead of having to go back to the messages page.

I have a suggestion that may have been brought up before... the ability to swich the backround 'deviant-green' to black.... because if there are thousands of people logged on every second, it could amount to a lot of power saved. like, how youtube made it possible on earth day. I`m still in the dark about why the fonction was removed... is it like, difficult in the server or something?

I have an inquiry of sorts not relevant to name changes or journals, so here goes:

I change my group's avatar regularly(every week), and I was wondering if I have the right to use ANY deviation that a deviant either submitted to my group or approved to be in my group, at my request, as the group avatar; or do I still have to ask permission and wait for them to respond yay or nay, and in some cases, don't reply at all!?!

I understand the reason behind only premium members getting the option to change usernames. But if it really is that much hassle to make the changes, why do i see some of these premium members simply changing their names to include a capital letter? That's really stupid, imo.

Hey danlev, I have a suggestion.

When you watch someone, is it possible that we could also be alerted with who they favorite or watch as well? It would let other deviants know who they like faster than going to their favorites.

Thank you for all of these updates and I hope you look into my suggestion.

Dear everyone complaining about the fee for a "simple" username change:

Please consider that when you change your username, all the links to your current account, deviations, gallery, etc. must become invalid, because your username is a part of their URLs. If you change your username, all those links will have to be changed or redirected somehow if everything associated with your old username is going to become associated with your new one instead, and in a way that doesn't disrupt other people's use of the site. I don't know how the guys behind the scenes are going about doing this, but it doesn't sound so simple to me. Somebody has to get paid sooner or later to make sure it goes off without a hitch.

I believe people should get paid for the work they do to provide a service, whether that work is obvious to anyone or not. I ask you, who's the more elitist and entitled, the worker who thinks they deserve compensation for their time and effort, or the consumer who thinks they deserve to have whatever they want without paying for it?

Oh, and there's the part where they straight-up explain in the post that "The reason there is a 'fee' associated with the change is because switching usernames is a complex technical process that can create confusions for fellow deviants," emphasis mine. Did y'all miss that?

Wish they'd had this a year ago when I decided I hated my former username so made a new account. :/ Lost all that previews and watchers just because of that. Oh well, its there if I ever decide I don't like this one anymore.

Chai-Leaf [2012-05-22 20:41:53 +0000 UTC]

I think it's completely unreasonable that you need to have a premium membership in order for the name change to be effective. Yes, it's only $5, but there's a reason the term "starving artist" exists, and it's an incredibly elitist idea to think that we should have to pay for something as simple as changing a username. So many features here on dA are already restricted to premium members only, so please reconsider this decision and make it available to all members, regardless of site status.

I just dislike the Preimium Membership needed to change username. Like, it's something so simple to do, and there's some people tha don't wish to pay for this and also don't want to kill the account to create another just to create this username. There's a lot of other stuff that be only do by preemium membership. Can't the change username at least be free?

I just wish that the premium membership money that I've paid for years could go towards having more reliable uptime - I'd prefer that over being able to change my username! At least half the time I'm on dA, I can't even load thumbnails. After being here for 10 years now, the thing most likely to lead me to quitting is the issue of being able to access the site reliability.

As a premium member, I like being able to change usernames, and think that limiting it to premium members isn't such a bad idea - otherwise you'd get every second 13/14 year old changing it when their mood changes, and I would much prefer not to lose track of some of the kids I watch. They change accounts often enough, usernames would be worse!

Please dA, work on the basics working reliably. Ultimately they're most important.
