No real plans at the moment, but we have some ideas in mind, no promises on if those will become a reality though.

Is there any possibility in the future of converting animated items from a Flash format to HTML5? Flash is not the most stable or safe of plugins, so I think converting the animations to HTML5 would be best for the site.

Nope, unfortunately not. Some items we might be able to mimic, but a lot of the astra items have particle effects that have opacity which would be extremely hard to recreate in HTML without making the item file size itself be incredibly massive.

I find the Avatar Builder (whenever its up lol) sooooooooo difficult to use. I'd reallllllly like it if we could sort by color as well as by body part. Why is 'shin' separate from 'knee' and why is 'hair' not separate from 'head'? It turns me off.

Features - Marketplace
I have the Kinegg [KINDRED] Shi Hou on my wish list. The Wishlist widget on the Marketplace's front page tells me that there's exactly 1 current listing for this item, but when I click to view the item's listings, there are none.
At first I thought maybe someone who has me on their Ignore List might have placed the listing, but this situation has persisted for a long time now, long enough that I can't seriously believe it's people who have me on their Ignore List repeatedly re-listing it.
Can you take a look and see if there's actually a glitched-out listing that only somewhat exists, causing this incorrect report of one listing in the Wishlist widget? (And just out of curiosity, would Ignoring another user have any effect on what Marketplace listings you can see?)

Do y'all have any plans to give this page an update?
Seems to me that the info, especially about Monthly Collectibles, could use some tweaking in light of the recent decision to remove the once-a-month $2.50 items. See the following:
Members have the option of buying Collectible Items from Gaia to decorate their online character. Collectible items are virtual clothes or accessories that quickly increase in value within the Gaian economy. New collectible items are released every month, and cost $2.50 each. Under our Terms of Service, members cannot sell their collectible items to other members for real money; they can only be resold for Gaia gold. Purchases of collectible items are accepted by postal mail, secure online billing, telephone and PayPal. Members are under no obligation to purchase Collectible Items.

Features - Runway
Would it be possible to add a feature to allow one to choose which way you're facing?
So many items change depending on which way your avatar is facing, so having the runway only allow one direction is actually kinda limiting. Doesn't help too much either that we can't even see these changes until after we've saved into them due to how the dressroom doesn't have that function as well.

I'm not sure I fully understand. The Runway saves your avatar based on how it is right when you hit the submit button. So if you are crouching or turned around, that should be the way the image gets saved. Are you saying this is not the case?

Question:
Is there any way to add a link in the museum that will take us to the page we have placed on?
It's really difficult when there's 20+ pages and you have to go through every page trying to find where you ended up especially since votes aren't shown its hard to see where you'd be in comparison. I've gone through page after page and have either given up or realized I've skipped myself early on. A link that takes you directly to the page you placed on would save everyone so much grief wondering how they measured up. xd

I have what seems to be zOMG bug from 2010 that was caused by account data not loading properly.
The result of this is the inability to continue through quests. The more notable ones that I can think of are Gustav constantly giving me the repeatable quest, denying me access to the Papa Saw dungeon quest as well as Rin and Lin not responding.
The issue was addressed way back as individual cases, but I missed the opportunity to submit a case.
Can this be addressed currently or am I stuck with it?

I've been loving the favorites feature ever since it came out, since I've loved to save avatars since... well... forever it seems. (been on and off the site for the past 14 years now) but I recently noticed that if inside of a folder in favorites you possess more than a certain amount of avatars saved, pages 8 and onwards do not show up. At the moment there's a folder in my favorites with 11 pages, but from the bottom menu I'm only able to access up to page 7 and then have to manually change the page number in the address bar. Is this something that will be worked in the future, or is this working as intended?

At a very quick glance (I have never heard of ko-fi before you), I would say it would be similar to the IRL commission rule. But I'd have to look into it further to come up with a much more suitable determination for this rule.
I see, I imagine it can't be solicited, for now is it safe to say it's allowed in a siggy or profile but not in forums (like that's more direct soliciting) or will this appear in a staff notice after you've been able to look into it more? Also kinda embarrassing but is there a thread post etc explaining the rules we have about irl coms? redface Just wanted to brush up on it.
**edit** and thank you for addressing this!
Couldn't say for the time being, I would be hesitant to say go ahead and put it in your sig/profile, only to possibly ask people to remove it later.

We'll put out something a little more formal and official, but currently we've asked the team to treat Gaia Cash Gift Cards as regular items for the purpose of selling/trading/etc. We are still not allowing people to directly try to, or imply, trading GC off of their account, but we are allowing users to gift/trade GC gift cards for the purpose of moving/offering GC.
