Anything on the horizon for the nuGen / Committee plotline?

We'll take a look into this!

Is it possible to add a search option in Favorites to restrain a search within our own collection?

Not in the near future as the search engine doesn't have that filter option, but we'll note down the suggestion

Is there a possibility of more forum assistants and/or moderators being brought on? I reported a handful of threads a few days ago and they are still in the same spot. I know the amount of content that is reported on this site on a daily basis has to be staggering, but allowing this to go unchecked like it has for so long is becoming really annoying. I appreciate the hard work that the current team of forum assistants and moderators do and I'm sure they wouldn't mind the extra help. Thanks and have a great day.

Yup! We're in the process of looking into new Forum Assistants!

Are you planning to let gaians with Angel Subscriptions
attend the Pop Square Live streams since they're also funders?

Angel Subscribers should already be able to attend the Pop Square Live Streams

Does Gaia and it's staff have any plans to raise awareness or take a stance on the current issue of net neutrality, where we, the internet, currently face being stripped of our freedom to openly use the internet without restriction due to lobbying from large digital service corporations? I feel like this needs to be addressed considering that if the FCC drops the laws enforcing net neutrality, Gaia would likely see a drastic drop in numbers.

Save the Internet

We agree!

Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving ^^

Misc:
Recently, users discovered that wing stickers, orbs, and shadow orbs were no longer soul bound. Was this intentionally done or is it a bug? There's been some confusion regarding it.


Sorry there should have been some messages regarding the changes.

The items are still soul bound and cannot be traded to others. The change is that you can now delete soul bound items in your inventory.

Question regarding SmashBlox. There is a problem with the tournament timer where the game thinks the tournament is about to end even when there is plenty of time left. This has made the game unplayable. Screenshots in this thread.

Is there any update about fixing this issue?
Thank you.


Is there always less than an hour left when this error occurs?

It occurs no matter how much time is left. In my screenshot, there was 59 minutes left when it occurred. Currently, there's 9 minutes left and same problem.


Yes, but is it ever over an hour? I'm thinking my math may be off, or I didn't allow for Daylight savings time.

Each tournament is one hour long, so it's not possible for the time remaining to be over an hour.

The warning is supposed to trigger when there is less then one minute left in the tournament to prevent you from starting a game when a tournament is going to end shortly. The problem is it's triggering all the time right now. This started back in October, before Daylight Saving ended.


That's helpful info. I'll have a look.

Any plans to do something new with Zomg? It's getting boring. gonk


We're working on a small Christmas event though there won't be new areas I'm afraid. We don't have resources for flash related components at the moment. We should have some recolored monsters roaming around which should help with earning shadow orbs later.

yoyoo,time for me to be annoying again and question about the achievements that us peeps who redeemed this boxes were supposed to get?
any update?
got my merch a year ago lol >>

We've getting reading to get the achievements out! You should see them within the next few days.
what about sendin' me the correct item.

That too. Current goal for this entire project is to be wrapped up before the end of the year, with a push to have everything done by next week and then clean up anything straggling behind. We've made time to make sure we can hit this.

Is it allowed to create clothing/accessories based on Gaia items (not simply resembling them out of chance) for personal use?

You're free to do so so long as you aren't going to be doing it for commercial use.

will there be any chance of more flexible coding? ( in the sense of, being able to add webkits easier. )


The mobile forum page and the upcoming responsive header are written in angular, though with the amount of pages there are on Gaia any of these types of changes are usually monumental with limited improvements. We're also upgrading the servers to https at the moment and that is also a monumental task.

Do you think there is a possibility of Gaia hosting writing competitions along side the drawing ones? I feel like writing is something we can all attempt, while drawing limits those who can participate.


Definitely, I'll keep that in mind next time we host competition events

Are there any new, exciting, or original feature plans for Gaia? It's okay ,you can tell us. ;D


Our current work are NOT EXCITING AT ALL... we needed to upgrade the servers to secure http, update the header across the site so it'll be responsive, but there's something more exciting we're working on which is the Christmas event.

Misc: Moderators

I know that it's kind of on the back burner, but can we add a higher priority into hiring and training more moderators? There are people who have applications in, but no new ones have been hired in a while. This should be a higher priority because you're current mods are stretched so thin that it's starting to become difficult for them to handle everything that they need to do around the site.

This is not the fault of the mods themselves, this is the lack of mods in general.

Project custom

Okay so say, I earned a ticket and would like to make an item based of a pokemon character's hair, ( with the palettes already being well known on gaia such as swampberry ) Is that allowed? and when naming the item, could we use a parody name for the poses as well?
I would recommend emailing project-custom[at]gaiaonline.com with specifics! This is the best way for her to help with your specific request. 3nodding

Can we have an option to sort our items by average market price?

Dying for an inventory arranger. sweatdrop


I got a feature like this on beta. Just need to figure out how to not blow away your existing sorting order when using these sorting functions.

Achievements

I'm writing this from my cell phone. How is the achievement comin' along from the throwback event?


Zero said he had most of the achievements taken care of, all except for the throwback event where he couldn't find out which achievement exactly should have been granted. sweatdrop
So does that mean we will not get it? Or will you make a new one?

I'm still working through the Throwback ones specifically, I can't seem to remember off the top of my head which event they were supposed to be tied to so if you have that, PM me with it so I can take a look into it.

Misc./Glitches

Hi, Gaia Staff!

I don't really have a question, but I finally got around to coming to the ATS to tell you about a glitch, or design flaw, on Gaia's homepage.

You know the new colored buttons you updated the forums and other places with around the website? Well, on the yellow button on Gaia's homepage, there is a big line cutting through it that literally slices the button in half. For a homepage that gives a first impression of a website, that is not a very good thing to have on there. I think it was the yellow "Join" button that has this design flaw. I think I have also spotted the same button problem on the Gifting Page.

Just wanted to let you guys know is all! Keep up the great work! emotion_kirakira


Whoops, that should be an easy fix. I'll look into it later this week. whee

Lake Kindred. Can we please get confirmation whether or not the RIGS are broken or not? Certain that used to drop from them are no longer dropping. Were they intentionally taken out, is it broken or are the drop rates stupidly astronomically low?


We haven't changed the RIGs, please let me know which particular RIG it is and I can look into it.

Hi, I had asked before about fixing the links in the NPC shops to their mangas, will that be fixed?

oops, that was the one from 2015, brb looking for the newer one sweatdrop

*edit* ok this is the most recent one http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/ask-the-staff-archive/ask-the-staff-14-november-2017-closed/t.103506867_140/#140


I'll need to ask the community to help me get links for the manga for the respective NPC's then I can build the correct links for the NPC shops. The actual linking isn't too much work but finding the right links will take quite some time. sweatdrop
