Arenas 2.0 Feedback Goes Here

[digitalduckie]

Ok got a chance to muck with it for a bit... keep in mind I'm talking strictly from the Art Arena point of view as I have no interest in the other two arenas (sorry, just honest).

I don't mind the black background. It's actually relatively standard (we quite often used black boards for mounting work in school) though for pieces with transparencies I think white is better.

Voting on a 5 star system will take some adjusting. For me 3 stars would be average and 5 would be perfect (very rare) but it feels like there should be a whole world of difference between 3, 4, and 5 stars... Perhaps if we could use 1/2 star increments?

And I haven't been able to find any evidence of updates to the rules and I have seen people asking for "realism" to be allowed. Where as I think technically it is as long as it fits the themes allowed, I do agree that broadening the themes allowed might be nice. Not that Gaia is an art gallery like DeviantArt (also the reason why I think people should suck it up and get a Photobucket rather than ask Gaia to host the art neutral ). It's just, I don't personally do fan art, or anime style work, or much fantasy anymore so pretty much all I ever feel fits in the arena is any of the avatar art I do. That's fine but it might be nice to share the plethora of other work I do.

I also enjoy the browse feature as opposed to the "skip to a random" that the arena already has. 3nodding

Are sprites excepted into the art section?

[roffiez]

It seems so wonderful so far. I hope my submissions are approved, soon!

[BriGateOrcaLover01]

if you are going to do a star rating system, at least let us vote in half stars! that is the only flaw i can find so far. domokun stargate

About the Avi arenas.............they sometimes freeze up. Also everythings looking great.......except that WE NEED LONGER DESCRIPTIONS!!!!!! SOME OF US HAVE SORIES WITH OUR AVIS!!!We don't want to post the story in the arena because we don't want it voted/payed for!! So could you make it longer maybe like........1,000 or 2,000!! Please and Thanks!!!!! heart

I would like to disrecomend what this user says in bold. People need to remember what the real point of the "description" box is. If you've got a story, take it to the writing arena, not the avatar arena. razz (Heck, I might support making the character limit for the avatar arena description box SHORTER.)

I can tell you didly squat because it won't let me in. Just let us all in, because nobody can even really get in.

I like the new 5 star scale.
[[edit: actually I agree about the 1/2 stars; let's get them]]

& I like the new Writing section.

I'm having an issue with descriptions, though.
On the sidebar, it only shows you a tiny bit of the description,
so you have no idea what the work is about until you click it and read the full thing.
For example:
"A logical analysis of the p..."
"This is a story about two w..."
"Essay written for AP Englis..."

The same goes for the titles.
You can't see the full title in many cases,
so you get even less of an idea of what it's about.
Examples:
"Definition of ..."
"The Ultimate S..."

& sometimes even hovering over the title isn't enough.
When I hover over "The Ultimate S..." I get
"The Ultimate Surv..."
Only three letters more?

I like the 5 stars. I also like how now I can enter my poetry. I don't know why it's not letting me in now though. It let me submit my work, but now it won't let me view my comments or anything. Weird...

[witchy12]
