Your Feedback


Thank you for the feedback on last week's Site Update ! Here's some of the feedback you left for us:

  • Feedback regarding the implementation of Google Analytics was generally positive. A few deviants mentioned wanting it to be a feature available to everyone.
  • Responses to the Discuss topic varied. Some deviants said they prefer to request critique from specific friends in private, while others mentioned asking for general feedback and working from there. A common response from deviants was that critique was most preferred on works in progress, and that asking for critique on completed work was not as useful.


Discuss!

Interesting. On Win7 Firefox doesn't have this problem (and so does Chrome). Try to check the button in some other browser - if it's the same there then I guess the problem is more likely related to system. Contact the Help Desk then.

How about purging the convos that are not on topic in the Site Update?  If they are intended to keep people from reading any further in the comments, they are doing their job.  Maybe they should be on one of the Social Channels?

As for your question:  I can't speak for Tumbler, I don't have an account there.  I do have FB, didn't know dA had a listing (but should have expected it).  Not sure I'd be interested in "Social Channel" though, not my "thing", so to speak.

I follow you on facebook, but I'm usually just on DA itself, so I don't often look at the updates on facebook. How about, as far as showing artwork goes, finding a special art piece once a week that has been previously hardly noticed, and perhaps doing each 'week piece' in every category all the way through until you come back to the beginning (traditional/photography/crafts/digital, and keep at it until you go back to traditional, for example)? I'm not sure if something like this is already in place.

Shyree In reply to BahamutDeusModus [2014-04-04 00:48:03 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for sharing your great suggestion! We're hoping to get to a point where we're sharing "undiscovered" artworks/artists daily. I like your suggestion of focusing on each category. While we make an effort to do this across the board, we could put more focus on looking for undiscovered works in each category.

You're welcome! I'm glad I was able to think of a good idea!
It would be very nice to focus on each category like that, so there's something for everyone.

"Feedback regarding the implementation of Google Analytics was generally positive. A few deviants mentioned wanting it to be a feature available to everyone."

Definitely think it should be a feature available to everyone. You're already ahead of many other art sites by having it PERIOD and you're already ahead of Tumblr in that it's a built in feature you don't have to jump through hoops to enable...Tumblr does have  its own non-Google analytics but they're only available to the big advertisers, not to regular users. If you made the feature available to everyone, I'd think it'd be a huge boost.

I haven't seen this suggested anywhere so far (I might have missed it), but I think there should be a way to search for other deviants on DA on a "browsing" type page, where we could search for fellow deviants by categories such as "Photographer/hobbyist", by their age range, their location, etc. I think it would promote interaction and a better sense of community in some ways in helping us find people we could have things in common with, by other means than just groups!

Hm, that's quite interesting. I'm at least not against it. You have my vote.

Thanks! The idea could obviously be tweaked and expanded on, I really think it's something all deviants could find reasons and ways to enjoy

I follow deviantart everywhere

Also, I have filed a helpdesk bug a while ago but I don't think anything has been done yet - I can't able the journal editor nor can I get sta.sh links of pending submissions because sta.sh is blocked for nudity under barracuda's web filters at my campus. It is currently standing in my way preventing me to write up any features or anything like that. Do you have any word when the journal editor will be updated so that it doesn't depend on assets from sta.sh? Thanks!
