Can we get Unicode allowed in statuses? so we can use emoji's and emotes as a status. Some days ¯_(ツ)_/¯ just works as a status. Maybe even clickable links? I use my status to give out my stream link when I draw. Others use it to let others know if they have something like an art auction going on or want to point people to a thread they want people to see.

We can look into allowing Unicode, should not be a big change

Is it possible to add the option to send back "saved" private messages to the "inbox"?

I was going to do some cleanup in my old messages, but I realized it's not possible.

We will have to look into how the PM inbox system works, hopefully it's not a big change to create the function to move things back.

Features/Items

I've been using the avatar builder pretty often lately and I found that the custom hairs/wigs and other head items are all in the same section. I would like to suggest that the custom wigs/hairs get their own section because sifting though almost 1000 pages of head items is VERY time consuming.

We will look into added a new section to avatar builder for hairs and wigs.

Hello everyone!

We added the favorite function to Runway museum, increased the trade item limit and loyal's store items. Will be working on some notification system improvements after working on some mod tool improvements.

We'll look into your suggestions from today also.

Is there a plan for the future to be able to have more slots in the Marketplace? With so many items I'd love to be able to sell things at a more reasonable clip - as well as not have so many items folks dont list - as they dont have room! <3

Thanks for all the wonderful fixes and things <3


Sorry I forgot to mention on my first post that I increased the limit to 50 sweatdrop

I was very deeply disappointed to discover that, in the Inventory 2 Beta, all game items are trapped in the Box labeled "game items" and cannot be moved to any other boxes. This pretty much entirely destroys the usefulness of the feature for me; what usefulness is left to it is outweighed by the fact that moving items between boxes in Inventory 2 Beta scrambles their order on the standard Inventory screen.

Is the game item incompatibility an unavoidable limitation of Gaia's inventory system, like how we can't put game items on our wishlist? What would it take to be able to move game items between boxes in Inventory 2?


Game Items are a special type which requires special rules. I made the special game box because of complaints that game items were being mixed into the regular items. How would you like to arrange your game items? The inventory is very new, and I'm open to suggestions.

hi there! i asked this last time but no one got to it sweatdrop
is this thread regularly looked at by artists/gaia staff? avatar item glitch thread
or do only some artists repair glitches on their items?
ive posted glitches here before on multiple occasions and months have gone by with no repairs on any :/


Artists frequent the thread but I haven't kept track of how many of all the bugs are fixed, sorry. If there are any particular issues please let me know.

Can we please soon start seeing the return of tickets to the CS? Or at least a reason on why they've been placed in RIGs only for now? We can speculate all we want - guessing the queue lines are probably the biggest factor - but it does make it hard for people that want to buy direct from the CS and not from a vendor or other user when the tickets aren't in the CS.


It's exactly what you thought! Giving some cool down from the influx of ticket submissions these past months so they can work on what they got for now! They'll definitely make their comeback, but for now, the tickets are just hibernating emotion_zzz

Shops

Small quality-of-life question, any plans to add additional shopkeeper 'helpers' - not necessarily new shops, tho there's a few shop concepts that could exist - of species that don't have much rep yet? Especially Paws. And maybe a centaur or other things.

Like I can imagine Sam having a spunky little wolf sidekick helping her with repairs, idk.


Thank you for the suggestion, I hope we'll have more shop types too, especially more animals

Can we get a multi-squish option for rare bugs in the ink maker section of Moira's shop? Really not looking forward to having to squish 93 Great Monarchs for white ink.


I'll look into having an item counter for that.

Just came back for a browse after some time away from Gaia so I thought I'd ask:

Are there any plans to bring back full colour manga pages with the classic NPCs and such? biggrin


Yeah I would love to see more manga story art too, I'll forward you guys's requests to the art team.

Items Good afternoon, everyone smile

Question: Is there a way to be able to sell multiple items in our inventory? It's so tedious now to click on each individual item and sell them one by one. I'd just like to be able to chuck all the gumballs, socks, and starter clothing all in one go.


Do you mean sell on the marketplace?
Not to the marketplace, but for the sell back value.


Got it. I can try to put something in the boxed inventory for that. I've set up other things for multiple items.

We can use stylists and (I think) rhod on Lake Kindred items! Which is glorious, but I'm also spoiled and want to be to body dye certain body mods from those items. Does that sound like a possible thing for the future?
I can bring this up for discussion!
Riyokuma
I know I just told you we'd discuss but yes, this is a thing we can allow, and I will be updating rules tonight to reflect this~

if we use the new inventory boxes to store and organize, will it change around any work we've done in the original inventory?


For the moment, yes. I am working to correct that.

Is the 'Preview' function for posts not previewing BBC code properly related to when the site slows down? (Win 8.1 updated Chrome, mobile Chrome app)
It just prints the BBC code as plaintext rather than showing what it should do.


Is that for forum posts? I don't think this kind of problem can happen because of site slowdowns. Is this a consistent problem or does it happen only sometimes? I haven't encountered this problem before so fixing it would be tricky. sweatdrop

Why is it now when I do a preview, images won't show until after I post? On the cash shop boards I like to list my drops w/images and its harder to tell if I made a mistake if the preview doesnt work correctly.

Also is anyone else getting really crappy lag?


There had been some network issues today because our ISP is doing some maintenance. Please let me know if this problem persist after today. Sorry for the lag.

Gaia Features/ Customize Avatar Page

In the future, are you guys planning on updating the Avatar Customization Page that would enable us to organize our hundreds of items and create our own personal tags for them so we can find them easier in the feature?


The new inventory system allows you to create tons of boxes for storing items, so you can equip from different groups of items that you setup and customize. We will also improve on the search functions too.

Directed at Codemonkey, but any staff memeber can answer this...

How the Gaia App coming along? I know it has only been a few weeks since I have asked, but I am so curious. emotion_kirakira


The first part came out last week. The boxed inventory! Still working some things out and adding features, but you can find it under My Gaia.

just a problem with with the new inventory beta. I'm having trouble trashing items. It won't let me trash anything that is deemed a premium item (which is basically everything). It freezes.


UH-Oh! I can have a look. Can you tell me a couple of the items you were trying to trash?

Would the possibility of being able to get a feature to organize outfits? I have two different characters that I like keeping outfits together for, but keeping them organized takes deleting and re-saving every other outfit in front of it.


Like in separate closets?

This is something that has been bothering me for awhile now... So when I go to list items on mule accounts in the MP stores, every time I list anything that I have multiples of, right after listing my page automatically refreshes. It doesn't do that on this account, but happens on all of my mules. Is there a reason for this issue that I'm just not getting? I tried changing how my items are stacked, gold versus plat, but the issue still keeps on happening. It's not so bad when it's just one or two multiples I have that I'm selling, but if I have lots of multiple item sets, then it gets to be very annoying with the screen refreshing every single time.


I think that might have to do with the inventory setting of whether you have item grouping / stacking enabled or not. The old system wasn't very smart so we had to refresh after listing the item if item grouping is enabled.

Are you guys still working on a sort-by-value feature for inventories? Or a way to easily see the values without clicking on them. I see inventory 2 sort-of has something similar, but its really not that useful on desktop. Id like to be able to see what my most expensive items are so I can list them for sale first.


We have the feature built, but I don't want it to ruin your customized item sorting. I can make it work for people with under 10,000 items as a temp solution until I find a better way to optimize listing for large accounts.

Thanks for the update and adding favoriting to the Runway Museum. Wanted to know if anyone has seen the error I outlined here? I found that an error occurs when trying to submit the avatar favoriting form.

Its no secret that many people have left the site...and I was wondering if you guys are looking into doing anything to bring in more users?
That way we can keep the site alive for many more years to come 3nodding

Thank you for all of your hard work!!


We are working on refreshing old features, but we will probably need to do more to refresh some of the core functionalities such as avatar forum chat and such on mobile devices. It's something that is down the road.

The idea of the boxes for the inventory 2.0 is rather nice. However, the interface is kinda annoying to use on a bigger screen -- like a computer. Is it possible to create a version for other screen sizes in mind?


Possible....not sure yet...

hihi~ will y'all be working on the wishlist page some more to make it easier to edit and/or rearrange the wishlist items? it's a really big pain, now especially with multiple page ;v;
additionally, on the marketplace page, maybe a sorting feature for the little wishlist box? like sort by price for example? anddd an option to hide currently unlisted items as well! i hope that makes sense


I'm been thinking a lot about the wish list lately. Other things are taking priority but as soon as I can...

Gaming: Towns 2

Hello Gaia staff,

I know you've been busy with so much stuff, but I was curious how and if Towns 2 bug/glitchs have been discovered and worked on even a little bit? From my knowledge the Teleport system is still down and there are a bunch of bugs I've found and have been trying to keep up to date with in a thread I've made.

So my question mostly is; Have what's the sort of progress on glitches/bugs in Towns 2? Have they at least been found?


Transport to friends should now work. The map isn't working and there are few tweaks need to be done.

Hi there,

Thanks for coming to this week's Ask the Staff! We hope we were able to answer your questions and if not, please join us at our next one.

Unfortunately due to a staff outage we will not be having one next week but should be back on schedule after that!
