I know I'm gunning for impossible right here, but could you please consider at least allowing img tags in gifting?
You can keep url and video tags disabled.
Some of us enjoy sending anon art and it would be nice to have them pop up when the gift is opened, so that they'll see a happy surprise, you see. They could technically click on a link that says there's art there, but that would take a recipient offsite to a questionable image or a phishing one too.
So please consider? Thanks!

The reason why bbcode was disabled was because of abuse from hackers posting images that pulls user information. (that's why we can't have nice things!) We have restored BBCODE for all other tags but image tags a few days ago.

Games (Lake Kindred)
So, for a while I had been wondering if the avis in the LK captcha were made by staff or they were taken from user's saved outfits, till I got a captcha with my own dream avi. It's not ok, the avis I saved are private and nobody except my sis should see them before I wear them (bc we match) so it makes me uncomfortable knowing anyone can see them at random not even knowing it's an user's saved outfit. Could you consider using people's favorites instead? Since they're public, already wore by someone and you can see just part of the items used so I don't see a any problem with that.

Sure we can move them to favorites. We used to consider that outfits are avatars that are being shown to public, but having outfits that were never equipped does make sense.

The platinum granting system is governed by a series of code that balances out payout between features, and payout based on marketplace prices. Over time there will be changes to the payout that changes on a day to day basis, and if the payout is still lagging too far behind, we will go in and make some changes manually.

Gold Shop prices updated (esp with 10m being the new 1 gold)
New Salon update (it's been forever)
New Wing Stickers items
New GoFusion items
New Alchemy formulas that are NOT lvl 1 or 10
Alchemy formulas for bundles of OPENED caches for selling and trading ease (ie, 500 stack of emerald caches into one bundle of 500)
Change the way caches open. Open to the image of the cache, not to an opened cache. Easier for marathon opening.
New type of cache that opens 20 caches at once (opens to random caches, not ingredients)
New Loyal's Shop updates
New Dernier Cri updates with expensive items (both in the billions and trillions ranges)
New Gold Shop Recolors
Replace most of the Kindred rigs with new larger pool rigs (Keep some popular/rare ones like Fairy Villiage and BBQ)
Raise the drop rate of zOMG caches in Alchemy Caches. It's 2 or 3 in 100 right now, and it's horrible for the newest wings formulas.
Update all the giftboxes and fish drops around the site.

So are you planning to eventually migrate everyone to the platinum currency and drop gold altogether? Long term, I don't think keeping both is very good.

it's too early for us to decide on this right now. Though I do hope that in the long run everyone would enjoy earning more currency and dealing with less zeros. It's a topic slated for later in the year.

Thank you so much for answering!! I just really like fishing but the way it works currently is really difficult for me to play.

Recently there has been an increase in TTS (talk to self) threads in the chatterbox.
Basically it's a thread treated like a diary where users post what they feel, music they like, funny pictures. Kind of like a diary, but public.
Do you think there could be a subforum for these? Some people get annoyed seeing them.

Nope. Chatterbox is specifically for any threads that don't violate the ToS, so we're not gonna implement a subforum to start regulating Chatterbox threads. Sorry!

It's more of an opinion...but...I feel as if the front page is kind crowded? Crowded to the point to where I wanna look past it lol
Like it's too much information in one little space, especially with the bulletin board. I feel that if you want to showcase certain threads or show which threads are being discussed, it would look better as the forum pulse with an author/title, rather than huge clunky boxes.
And how are the threads being placed on the front page? Is it by most posts/activity....or???

Features- Runway
Captcha :/
A few weeks ago I asked about having the captcha being able to appear during runway voting again--
Since it had, since the switch, disappeared from the page, preventing voting if one hadn't been filled in.
And I had gotten a positive response (that I would pull but mobile), but nothing happened.
So
Could the captcha be readded to the Runway pages so people don't have to run off and make a post on order to vote?

It would make sorting through my collection so much easier. I can only get so much out of organizing my inventory with the current tabs.
And I also agree with this. There's certain games where you can sort stuff by quantity, rarity, price and even most used. What's stop Gaia from doing so ?

We're still waiting on winners for this contest that Zero already admitted to having forgotten about. It's been about a month or two since that time. People have filed tickets, there's been no further response. The first year anniversary is coming up, and the next step participants will have to take to get this finally settled will be filing a complaint to the BBB, not that Gaia Online is even accredited, but I'd say that's the next step before taking it up with the judicial system. FYI, that contest and many other official Gaia contests violate California's Sweepstakes/Contest law so you might want to look into that especially if users do have to go to the BBB to get any sort of resolution.
Anyway, thank you for your time and please, get on the ball. Don't start contests and not deliver within a timely manner. If there are delays, be forthcoming and transparent, admit to them, don't just ignore your users and pretend that if you cover your eyes and can't see us, that means we're no longer there. We're still here, and we very much still see you, even if you refuse to see us.

Lanzer updated the YUI framework to some people who forked it and are continuing to develop it.
That said, I like React. React is efficient, only updating what needs to be updated on the page to not cause a lot of repainting. It leverages a virtual DOM for performance, since a modifying a virtual DOM is far faster than the real DOM.

I played around with React a bit during my hiatus, it is nice. Some of the devs are seriously into angular but I've not had time to dive into it myself yet.
Can we see the React being tried out in Gaia soon? blaugh
I doubt it. As I said the other devs are into Angular, and they sort of fulfill the same purpose.

A long time ago there was a cap on the MP then it was removed.
Is there going to be a Cap in the new currency?
Or is something that costs 1trillion Gold still going to cost really high numbers in Platinum? (what ever the curency conversion is. I suck at mathing)

If there was a cap it was due to programming and database limitations before, and that had been removed. Don't think there were a cap, and don't think there will be one.
