Can we get a search bar in the Outfit section of Gaia?
That way we can search a certain item that may not be listed in MarketPlace.

No search feature yet, as we are working on item tagging system

Can you please add a sellback value to the mice kindreds? Currently, you can only either donate them or trash/release them if you don't want your extras. Alternatively, a formula that uses the extras would be appreciated.

Sure we'll add a sellback price for the item

May we please have a "delete all comments" (per page of comments) for the profile comments so we don't have to sit and delete one at a time when we have umpteen pages of them?
PLEASE please please!

I'll add the feature when I get a chance, sorry it's been busy with all the inventory upgrades right now

Can you add something that marks if a user is banned or not?

Likely not something that we will be adding as we respect a user's privacy whether to announce they are banned or not.

Can we have an option to turn off the huge window that pops up when you try on an item you search for when making an avatar? Can you just make it so it shows up as a marketplace link without the preview? I hope this makes sense... User Image


Are you referring to avatar builder?

When can we see a start to some kind of summer event? So many sites/games have already had some & I feel Gaia is being left out in the cold.


Summer event is next month, we are working hard on it! Sorry we had been busy with a lot of feature updates and releases... sweatdrop

Any plans to let us un-subscribe from threads we're not allowed in anymore? I'm kind of tired of getting My Gaia alerts of new posts in threads made by people who Blocked me.


Yes actually, this is in the works (aka Lanzer's to do list) but there is no ETD yet. We'll let you know once it's ready to go biggrin

Heyo! Hope y'all are well!!
Any way you could put a system in place that people who already subscribe to the Angel program don't get announcements/ads asking them to do so every day?

(Seems like if you put it in an actual ad bar instead of an announcement, that could help, since ads are blocked anyway?)


That should be fixed really soon! sweatdrop

Can you add the ability to search for items that don't have a certain tag? For example, searching for "fox -tail -ears" would search for items that are tagged with fox but are not tagged with tail or ears. Google has this in their search. (Other special search formats would be nice, like searching only for an item's name, or only searching for items that are a certain pose, but I know that this would require an overhaul of tags.)


Google also has self-driving cars....But seriously, we are making some changes to inventory as well as to the tag search, but no plans to put exclusions searches at the moment.

As soon as we are done with the Gaia self-driving car, we can work on the other features.

Also, to addend my last post about angel subscriber- thought I would mention that I'm still getting ads, including intrusive mobile ads, even being a subscriber.
I've already mentioned this in bug reports, could someone please look into it? Thank you! 😊


Hi there,

Please file Billing ticket in the Help Center and someone should be able to help you with this.

will the error of the wrong amounts of cash gifted video daily treats be fixed anytime?


I looked into the issue and it wasn't with a particular provider, but within some parters that they work with. I wish I can just turn something off and all offers will go through, but it's more difficult than I thought. I can't remove the feature because currently thousands of Gaians still get GCash from video daily treats.

So last ATS somebody asked about Sycamorte Seeds being fixed
and sure enough they were fixed....for a whole few hours

It seems that there are a limited number of rare drops in them every time they get "fixed"
and it's first come first serve for anyone who's been hoarding seeds
can something more permanent be done so we're not bugging ATS every week
that the Sycamorte seeds are broken again?


That's weird, time to check on the issue.

Recently I've noticed I see ads when I use Gaia via my phone on safai. I shouldn't be seeing ads because I spend GC thus they should be disabled??
I've also seen a notice on them saying 'spend 249gc to remove ads' or something similar, but I had just spent cash in the CS sooo idk

Can this be looked into? o3o

Will you ever make it so that Shadow Orbs are available in other areas in zOMG, even as a rare drop? Because its getting harder and harder to find people who want to do a DMS run these days.


Short answer is yes, more details will come later as we figure out what to do with the new recolored monsters

I was just wondering if anyone knows why Gaia stresses Firefox out so much? Every time I load several pages on Gaia in a day it starts to cause Firefox to go not responding every 30 seconds or so which is really inconvenient on AtS days because I always lose like 3 minutes trying to type up a message.


Firefox was my browser of choice during most of my working time at Gaia. Over the years it got slower and slower, especially with the flash debugger. It could be an extension. I think the problem is mostly FF, more than Gaia.

First I wanna say thank you so much for Rabbitually Late, it's glorious and I love getting to see the chubby look get some attention!
I was wondering if we will ever receive a cheaper recolor of Rabbitually Late (under 3OOb)? I have always disliked watching a bunch of people want an item that they cannot get because it's too expensive Dx Chubby should be for everyone blaugh


We're going to be experimenting with different body shapes as much as the base let's us. Keep a look out for more options soon! <3!

Reading this amuses me so much after being around back in the day when staff was saying stuff like "no way we can do that; impossiburu!!" while people were asking for skinny/chubby/pregnant avvies.

Yeah, lol also back in the day arm mods alone seemed like an impossible thing. NOW LOOK AT US!

Items/Query:
I've noticed a disturbing trend where the two hair mods (Agape Scissors and Sketchbook
hairpins) are not removing the animal parts of hair. (Dragon Guardian Locks for example) A
similar problem has occurred with the Neko hair item. Why is this? There used to be a third
hairmod when the two were used in tandem, but that seems to be completely gone now.
Why?


A lot of that has to do with layering issues, and placement of the layer on the head. Some times its possible, other times its just buggy. But we'll look into ways to try to improve this!

Hi I was just wondering will there be any updates on Gaia aquariums? The 'tap' features doesn't seem to work anymore and games like booty grab don't really pay enough,the aquarium forum has been pretty inactive because of this as many people just play lake kindred or zOMG


Aquariums had been taking a back seat since we are focused on the core features. When things like the economy still requires attention, it's hard to focus on others. Then we'll need to update Towns from flash. Features that are heavy on Flash assets such as Aquarium and zOMG might not get a conversion to HTMl5.

Will Gaiaonline be having an "Upload & Image Hosting" Feature?


Yes we are going to move over to Amazon web services and have image hosting setup when the time comes. For now we are using a different technology and migrating everything over will be slow and labor intensive. Though the move might not happen till next year. That's a huge project which has to be done, though not something we need to do right away.

Thank you for your response.

About tag search:
Will there be unique tags assigned to individual poses for items?

Right now, when you search for an item the names of specific poses of items are completely ignored. Say, if an item has a camisole as a pose called "camisole", but neglects having that tag in the item's tags, the item won't show up in your search.

Similarly, in avatar builder, all the poses (and the normal item) will show up when you search something like "glasses", when the actual glasses from the item are only one pose. It'd be good if it didn't do this.

(Is there info on how this will work anywhere, already?)


The initial version will focus on allowing user submissions only. Hope I can find a good way of displaying poses with tags

Can we get some scissor item that cuts pants and turns them into shorts, or turns a long skirt into a short skirt?


Hmmmm we'd have to look into it. I wouldn't be able to work on a lot of things, do to how our system mask the legs with certain leg mods. Can't make any promises on this one, but we'll look into to see what we can do in the future! Thanks for putting the idea in our heads tho!

I've been wondering. But since Angelic Halo has been re-released on multiple occasions, is there a chance that Ring: Integrity will ever be re-released as well. Perhaps for finishing a special quest or something?

Any reason for the increase in gc we get for the subscriptions for the second month (which I'm not complaining about) but not the first? Can we get compensation of the missing cash due to the change?
