I keep getting watches and all other support here, but PLEASE just follow me on https://www.furaffinity.net/user/drerika/ I'm active there, I read comments and notes there, my gallery is up to date THERE with all the stuff I never showed on DA, and I accept commissions only there. So just make an account there in case you really wanna watch me rolling since I'm no longer using DA anymore and won't post anything here either. DA will remain as a stash for art commissions others could download and it has a nice feature with thumbnails so good for showcasing my commission info with examples and that is ALL I'm gonna use it for from now on. It already was hard to maintain equally both galleries until now, so I'm only focusing on FA truly, sorry
So I just tried to find things that were handy in the old version, and my conclusion is pretty much the same as the rest of the users about this new version of DA. The old version wasn't the best ( as I liked the 2013-2015-ish version most), but hey, it was bearable as all the previous features were working. And now they completely fucked it up all over. Even the basic stuff disappeared. Sadly DA never listened to their users and I doubt they will, as from the very beginning of this new version release, nobody were happy about it. Reading all the comments and journals makes me upset, how such a big site can collapse, as a lot of artists are already abandoning it.
Even tho I really don't like all of this, I'll keep submitting (my art was started in this site so kinda having sentiments xD), but it seems I won't be able to do normal activity as I used to do (I can't even find how to maintain the groups I'm admin in). So I'll just go with the flow and do basic stuff. I'll try to learn all of the things again here, hopefully it won't be that bad as now :F....
