Is there a way to cancel a ticket you filed? or what needs to be done,
The only thing I found was how to submit one.


You can close a ticket by going to where you filed the ticket in the Help Center and in the bottom right click on the drop down, and choose Submit as Solved.

Is it possible to add a "hide spoiler" button at the end of a spoiler block when it's open? When they are long, especially in guide threads, it would be much easier to use since we wouldn't need to scroll back at the top to close them. Since we are used to close them with the button at the top (and it's actually making sense in several cases), it would be best to have both possibilities instead of moving it the current one.


We will look into doing that!

Tickets

Question: I've had a zendesk ticket up now for over 2 months about my lack of Angel Item for that month and no one has checked in about it. I have no idea how else to get this noticed by staff as writing new statuses in my ticket has not done anything. I am more than a little frustrated at this point, so hopefully this post doesn't just get removed without any course of action...


We checked and you filed your ticket in General Inquiry instead of Billing. The GI queue is much larger than and has a longer wait than the Billing queue. Anything to do with Gaia Cash should be filed to Billing queue We have gone ahead and alerted the Help Center to your ticket and gotten it moved to the correct place and to hopefully get your issue resolved A.S.A.P.

Hopefully with this list, you'll have an easier time getting the Throwback contest achievement granted out.


Thank you! We can handle the granting later today or tomorrow! Thanks for putting the time in making the list Nightgale!

Will there be a Halloween event this year? For the people that don't have Sugar Rush yet, like myself.


I'm working on it! We'll have Halloween event on Gaia forums as well as zOMG. I'll make sure Sugar Rush is on the menu.

I missed the gaia live today cause of work, but I've also purchased gc religiously every month always more. Did I miss out on getting the gift?

[a convo with Jak Bauer clarifies that there was no 'gift' aside from the joy of participation]


Don't worry we will have a lot more of these events. We're just testing the server's capabilities today. Video eats up a lot of bandwidth! eek

Will there be a paw rig again? A new item one, with totally new items or just conversions of items that are available for the human base.


We should have one coming up. Let me check with the art team on that.

Any word on fixing the links in the shops for the NPCs going to their origin story?

Could the Collectible Museum be re-vamped to include Angel Items as well?
(I'd love to be able to access past Angel Item artwork in an easier way)


We are re-working that page and should have something better coming soon!

It's been a hot minute since the buttons changed on the site but I still haven't gotten use to them.
I think it's just because they still stand out so much.
Will we be getting more modernization of site parts to fit in with that new style? (sooner or later?)


We're working on a header that will resize properly to mobile or tablet, and there will be some stylistic changes to that also. eek The forum mobile pages should also be ready next week. Those pages will look very different when on mobile.

Hello staff,

Liking the new platinum currency a lot. However, wanted to bring up a couple of areas that need tweaking... as they apparently did not get properly converted.

Purchasing a Trading Pass:

This used to cost 500g. Now it costs 500p. That seems a little steep for newbies to the site just to be able to trade with other users.

Guild Announcements:

My guild has 72,000 members. It used to cost 15,632g to send a guild announcement to every members' PM inbox. Now it costs 15,632p, which is frankly a sum that is equivalent to $32. Essentially, I am now unable to communicate with all my guild members about up-coming events.

If you would take the time to resolve these matters, I would be very grateful. Thank you.


New user actually get 500P upon sign up, which is why 500P is the trading pass fee. If we charge less, then script kitties will start writing bots to create new accounts and funnel all money into one account.

I'll go in and change the guild fee, as it should be much lower. sweatdrop

Are you aware there is an issue with paypal's payflow link redirecting to a blank page and not granting gaia cash? It's happened to at least 3 people including myself today. emotion_sweatdrop


Hi there,

Have you filed a Billing ticket in our Help Center?

hello, staff! c: 🖤 I hope you are all doing lovely ~!

LiveStream

first off, I must say I'm loving this new lil feature and I hope it sticks!
one of my fave aspects was the shopping option - will we be seeing more of that with the
live streams in the future?
(ps how cool would it be to also sell RL Gaia mercy that way, oh my glob)


yes we are still testing the new features and will be upgrading our servers to handle more people online. Currently only a hundred and fifty users will use up a whole Gigabyte of data (which one network card handles), so we need to do a lot of upgrading to let more Gaians to connect!

is there a way for the tab to stay on the "ready" instead of reverting every time your alchemy fails?

Since the most recent complete update of iOS to 11 was launched, the Gaia on the Go app is absolutely not working. Will the new version be launched by years end? Or if not sooner?


Yikes! I'll check and see if I can convert the old app quick.

Will there be a new Halloween event for Lake Kindred this year? Is there a chance old LK events like the previous Halloween one could be reactivated like with zOMG?


Dunno, but I'm asking Lionheart now!

I noticed towns freezes if you change tabs while running it. Any way to look into that? It does it even if I use chrome, firefox or IE


Towns 1? It seems flash is acting very strange these days.

Yeah. Its towns1


Flash and even html5 will stop running if they lose focus, i.e. switching to another tab. I can override in html5, but not flash

What? I've left Towns open in the background before, ran fine. When did this start? O.o


I'm not sure. Happening for some time.

Games/zOMG

With the introduction of platninum, and the amount of bank that LK generates, is there any chance of getting rid of the cap on zOMG. Any chance of it dishing out more gold, or at least one part? A zOMG equivalent of sycamorts?

I don’t want to grind LK cry but I’ll gladly grind zOMG haha

+ if it became a signigant way to earn gold, I’m sure that would draw a lot of people back to it again.


I remember raising the cap on zOMG, but I'll check again and raise it some more.

Site's been really buggy lately and going down at random intervals and then lags, what's going on with it?


Our content delivery network that is supposed to speed things up for us turns out to be having random issues. We're working with them to resolve the matter. Sorry for the wait times!

Any chance of a Shadow Orb Doubler for zOMG?

I don't think 2 Shadow Orb drops would kill anyone, especially seeing how so many people had and still have the potential to buy level 12 rings off of MP. But maybe I'm wrong and it would mess up zOMG big time. rofl

Maybe it's not worth the time it takes to do it, it's just an idea.


When I have time I want to add more monsters that will drop shadow orbs. Hopefully after Halloween

Bug

For several months now while I'm currently signed in I don't get new thread posts notifications for subscribed/owned threads (don't remember if quote notifications are also affected). I don't get new subscribed/owned thread posts or quote notifications until I sign in and reload/navigate to a new page.


Uh oh, hopefully that's an easy fix. Wonder when we removed the check by accident.

I cannot move more than one item from my locker to the actual inventory at a time. Are you guys working on a fix for this?


I thought my last fix also fixed this problem. I'll test it again. Sorry for the trouble. sweatdrop

Amai_Neiko
Features: Inventory

In the inventory page I open the special tab, I have two pages, whenever I open something on the 2nd page and the page refreshes it reverts back to the 1st page and I have to scroll down again click 2nd page then scroll back up. Can it be changed so it stays on the same page after the refresh?


That's a strange one. I'll check and see if I can reproduce the problem. sweatdrop


Lanzer
Riku The Devoted
Avatar Builder Features

Can the feature for the default mouth items that we are able to pick from in our inventories be added into avatar builder for options as well? We need that access because its really hard to get right mouths and eyes for when we are ghosting avis for other people. I know their are mods. But a lot of the time when I use a mod someone has they don't like the mod oddly enough. So I feel we'd have better choices for the faces if the default options were available in Avatar Builder too. The same ones we can pick from in our inventory.


I see. I'll add that to the feature list for Avi Builder.

Rally

Rally often freezes when swapping tabs, is there a fix for this or something you guys may be working on?


Does it unfreeze when you go back to the rally tab?

No, I usually either have to open a new tab or Rally or refresh the page completely


Well, that's a kettle of fish of another color entirely. Not sure what's going on but I'll jump onto towns and rally in just a bit and check it out.

Bug
I posted about this already in the pre-thread for this, but I want to make sure it doesn't get overlooked.

When are you finally going to remove the padding from the .linklist element?
This has been an on-going issue for Firefox users for many years now that causes the View Moderators link to be pushed down and behind the subforum list.

Thanks for the report! It should be fixed now.
