Why with announcements do we have to physically click each individual one? I dislike seeing the 10+ that build up, but it was so much easier to just hit F5 repeatedly until they disappeared. Now when I hit F5 you just reload the same announcement.

We can take a look into this, it was the result of trying to fix a bug which caused this "bug."

Question:
Not really a question, but a minor easy to fix bug I saw (that doesnt really require its own site feedback thread..) If you pull a SDPlus 2017 Blind Bag from a blind box, on that page it will say 2016. I dumbly opened a few I was going to hold onto them. The color and the bottom text or something were right idr, but the top part where it says you got a "2016 blind bag!" was incorrect.

I know they changed the GCash system so that there haven't been sales since the beginning of the month. Will it continue to be that way?
And if so, can we make the newer GCash money-free pages and videos less buggy? When I tried to do surveys and such, it said my IP wasn't able to connect

Yeah, we're actually going to stop GCash sale all together. Old management used to slap on sales to drive spending as they drive up prices on items. We don't want to do that anymore.
We are currently looking for more providers. Having more offers and surveys will definitely be great.

One of the issues that I noticed when I post on my mobile phone is that many of the captchas that I get send me to unwanted or scam sites. For this reason, often times I need to refresh until I don't get one of these sites. Is there anyway for the captchas to be better monitored to ensure these ads are taken out?

The system actually will make a giftbox appear again shortly if it is missed, since many time one might simply click on something else before the box is loaded on screen. So hopefully you'll end up getting yours soon.

Is the site ever going to completely deprecate Flash?
We won't be actively removing flash, but I think that eventually browsers might stop supporting flash.
On the other hand, I'm sure there will be one browser or another that is willing to keep supporting Flash.
The only focus is that anything we do moving forward will be HTML5 based, that way they work fine on mobile too.

What is MotoIQ's Suggested Retail Price? 3nodding
While I cannot give any specifics to his pricepoint, I can provide the facts that I am made from sustainable materials, while motoIQ is made from recycled parts.
For this reason it is safe to estimate his price point will be significantly lower than mine.

Favorites. You mentioned in your journal, lanzer, that things you learned about search functioning doing the search feature for favorites may be used to improve upon searching for items. Are you aware of the short comings of the current favorites feature search results though? Right now, if you search for a hash tag, results get unnecessarily bumped to second or third or further pages while irrelevant results also show up along with partial results or completely irrelevant results showing up also before full matches to search terms. For example, if I search a username with "the" at the start, I may get other stuff with tags involving "the" showing up before the full username I put into search. I'd like to be sure all the kinks are ironed out before this search is used on something like improving item searching, something that I desperately want improved.
Also, side note, there's plenty of broken images I'm coming across in favorites right now. ninja

There are some options for the search engine that I still need to use. Hope it'll function better after some fine tuning.
I'll need to look into the broken images. Not sure why that's happening.

Might there be a way to implement a ticket service like the Help Center for Account Hackings? I was close to filing a complaint with Paypal (as there was GC involved) when I did not hear anything back. I managed to learn that it can take up to a year to hear back about an account after some digging through the forums. Some way to know that our report has been accepted/seen/etc would be a great way to let us know that we're not just throwing out reports out to the wind.

There is actually a bug where avi builder will let you try out items before they're released. We need to fix that bug then we can leave it up and running all the time.

Since the inventory arranger has been modified, it got me thinking. One way to organize your invo quickly is to search for items by their tags. There are many items on the site that I could use to make avatars, only I don't know what they are because they lack proper tags (by theme, color, equip poses, etc). Many older items on Gaia only have maybe one or two tags, whereas the newest items have closer to 10. Primarily only items with "color schemes" are easy to find.
Is there any way that these older and more obscure items' tags could be updated? It would be a lot of work but I think it would also be beneficial for many users.
