Numerous Suggestions for deviantART - Deviations, Message Center, Film, Journals and Groups

Hello Everyone,

Below are numerous suggestions with descriptions. I figured one concise forum post might be better than numerous posts. I hope that you will all comment with ideas and feedback. :thanks:

Film Deviation Revamp: Stills
Currently when submitting a film via sta.sh, there is no way to edit the still frames that are chosen (this was available in normal submission). I would like to propose that a way to alter the images is brought back, or, alternately allow users to upload their own film stills.

Film Deviation Revamp: Credits
It would be nice if in the sidebar, a deviant could list credits of major roles (director, producer, DP, key grip, gaffer, editor, sound mixer, composer at minimum) and then have these available with real names, but still be able to link to either deviantART profiles OR off site-websites/IMDb pages/etc. This would allow small films to allow exposure for their crew whether on or off deviantART.

Film Deviation Revamp: Embed
I would really like to see an embed option added to films. This would be for embedding on deviantART, as well as a way to embed off-site if possible.

Groups: Warnings for New Groups
In the past two weeks or so, I have received numerous questions from deviants who ask "Why can't deviants join my group?" and "Why can't members submit to this gallery in my group?". I believe there is a simple fix. There should be a bubble that pops up for the contributors of a group on a gallery page when it is not open to all members, warning that some classes cannot submit with a link to the manage members page to change these settings. A similar bubble should appear if "Member" requests are closed.

Journal Management
it has come to my attention that journals are still incredibly hard to manage. I have detailed a system in the past that I thought would be excellent for journals, but it would take a lot of implementation. In the mean time, I believe that there should be a simple way to delete multiple journals at once. A check box system (when you click "manage journals" for example, could be the easiest way)

Locking Journals
I have a number of old journals that are just...out-dated, but I would love to keep them as an archive. If possible, it would be great to include a way to lock, or suspend comments on journals just as is done in forums. If options for how soon to lock an "inactive" journal could be added as well that would be excellent.

Message Center: Username Changes
An option to turn username changes off or on in your message center would be lovely.

Message Center: Forum Posts
I would love to have a way to get forum posts in groups to be pushed to my notification center. I know in some groups this would be a hassle, so if there could be an option to turn this on and off for a group, this would be FANTASTIC.

Forum Emoticons
As I am writing this I noticed how not straight the forum emote list for the post is... Why not straighten that our or even consider compressing it? Reference: [link]

Thank you for your time, and I hope that some of these come back and help!

Film Deviation Revamp: Stills
Yep.

Film Deviation Revamp: Credits
That would be awesome.

Film Deviation Revamp: Embed
Isn't there already an embed option for dA film/animations along with the youtube and vimeo videos so you want a revamp in what sense?

Groups: Warnings for New Groups
Yep.

Journal Management
That could be done in Manage Deviations section I suppose.

Locking Journals
Does the old journals have the sta.sh feature or turning off comments already? That would be helpful I suppose.

Message Center: Username Changes
Yea.

Message Center: Forum Posts
Groups would have to have a forum feature of their own first! :P

Forum Emoticons
This just went whoosh over me. :P

Ideally, but it currently is way too hard to do that

Embed dA Film, Vimeo and Youtube Into Journals!Hello Beta Testers :wave: It's been on the wish-list of many a deviant for years, and now it's finally here :dummy: That's right, you can now embed your favourite deviantART Films or Vimeo and Youtube videos into your journal! :omg: But How Do I Embed It? I hear you cry :crying: Adding a video is simple! Just type: And we'll do the rest :eyes: here's some more examples Got it? :evileye: Good :la: If you encounter any bugs, please submit them to the issue tracker under the "Unified Content" project :bug: Have fun! And stay Devious $DEVlANT :DEVlANT:
Codes that can be used like in
WisdomI am all out of 4 of them. [Can't even cry my eyes out for what my mouth is now :stare: ]
And that bloody scene in Twilight where that Bella gulped blood 'all because of her born daughter'...guess what?
I had to gulp down as well...the amount that didn't stick to the gauge in my mouth...The pain hasn't started yet maybe because my jaws still have some parts of anesthetics left...(it happened from 9:45am and I woke up at 11:45am) and now it's 8:19am..but it's hard to gulp down anything..I feel like my throat has been abused...
Anywho, my mom was laughing that I might stick the needle on the doctor like Mr. Bean but they had me tied down >_> 
Also, after waking up to go to the surgery, I realized I had a halloween dream. Almost same dream as the one Willy Wonka had during halloween in Charlie and The Chocolate Factory (2005)...
But, I could walk well and didn't


Ideally, but it currently is way too hard to do that
Which is why I'm suggesting that they enable it from there. Since it's not possible. :lol:

The new group warnings would be a really good feature.:nod: On almost every new group I see there are comments saying "Why can't I join?:noes:". So that with reduce those comments by a lot.:nod:

Zev, these all sound wonderful.
I would like to add something probably trivial, On our front web page, I think you should be able to change it around any way you want, drag and drop isn't very glamorous and they have to stay in a certain order. I realize the journal or Id should stay the same, but I would like to move it around some.

I would love to be able to use & in the journal title but I can't it wont post and tells me I am using signs that are not permitted :(

Another good one, when I post a comment, if we would be able to edit it after posting!!. I am prone to seeing typos after hitting the send button or seeing that one watches me after I just said thanks for the fav so have to post 2 times.

Another thing is that it is annoying as hell that when I am thanking tons of folks for the fav or answering comments that I always have to stop because dA thinks it spam... maybe you could increase the number of permitted comments
