I have a question/idea

When deviants, such as myself, add an artwork to a group, it usually doesn't let the group know when it's updated or not.
let me explain...

I make 'adopts', designs for other artists if they wish to buy them from me. There's a problem though, and I don't believe I'm the only one, but sometimes when there needs to be a change, i have to go back to the deviation and take it out from all the groups and resubmit them all. It's a bit of a pain to do...

I was thinking, maybe, there can be a way to resubmit art much faster than typing the same ones constantly (like a bubble-in on the groups you are in) or have something to where if you update the picture, it makes a message in groups so that they can see the new art/fixed artworks...

Sorry if its hard to understand, but I hope you get what i mean ><

I'm pretty sure they are appearing in the members in boxes, it's just hardly anyone will be looking at them, because people tend to use groups to be seen and not to see new things.

I like your idea about grouping groups together. It would save a lot of time If I could say group together all the pokemon groups i'm in and have that group of groups be an option on the submit box. Then all the seperate groups could show up and I could select the folders to put my work in right there. In stead of typing in he names of like 10 different groups and doing it all individually.
That is how imagined your idea.

That's pretty much how I imagined it too :3
We would get check boxes instead of retyping and clicking individual groups to add in art.

That sounds like cool idea to me.

What you mean is that you want your art to show up in the group members' inbox when you update it?

~Catty-Adopts Feb 20, 2013 Student Digital Artist

yes ;w; something like that..

~StripedPower Feb 20, 2013 Digital Artist

Oh, then I guess that's a good suggestion.

Can save a lot of time.

Yaey~!

Why are you removing them and resubmitting them again?

Let me try to explain it a bit better...my english isnt exactly the greatest...

You see, in the link above, how new artwork is posted like this whenever a new picture is added to a group?
Well people sometimes just see the artwork once or not see it at all... I was thinking maybe that if the updates can also update and appear in the groups gallery as well, it may attract new people part of the group or other people who haven't paid attention before...
Kind of like the update and notify watchers thing except for all group members in the groups the artwork is posted in...

does that make a bit more sense? ;~;

Ah.
In that case, that is redundant. It's already in the group and was pushed to the watchers message centre. If they watched it the first time, deleted it, that's it. There's no reason to use it in such a way that it would lead to abuse. Any who want to view it can do so browsing the group gallery later on, or rather if they liked it, would fave it or watch the artist. People delete things they are not interested in or don't watch at all. It will be just problem for those who do.
