Your Feedback


Thanks very much for the feedback left on last week's Site Update! Here's some of what you had to say.
  • Several members mentioned that they were unfamiliar with submitting deviations exclusively to Groups, though the deviants who were familiar with the feature said they found it useful for submitting content intended to be used specifically for that Group.
  • Some deviants would like to be able to include images within their literature submissions. Suggested by Jestloo
  • Deviants would like a way to collaborate using deviantART muro. Suggested by Metacat66
  • Some members would like an "Edit with deviantART Muro" button for their posted deviations. Suggested by kittyhawk-contrail
  • Deviants would like a pencil tool for deviantART muro. Suggested by Que-ink
  • Some members would like to be able to set priority for some of the deviants they watch, so that those messages show up higher in their Message Center. Suggested by Soniclink137

Representing Yourself on Your Profile
How do you represent yourself as an artist or art appreciator using your Profile? Do you change your settings frequently? Are you more inclined to leave settings as they are and allow new content to be what updates your page? Do you feel that your avatar and deviantID are an important part of representing yourself as an artist?
