Features: Profiles

The Grunny, Blocks, and Custom themes for the Classic (v1) profile template have been broken since January.
I alerted Lanzer of this back in March's AtS and he said he'd get onto it ASAP, but it's still not fixed.
Is there a reason as to why this hasn't been fixed yet?
(It seems like it would be a simple restoration of the old stylesheets, but it might be more than that?)

Still something we're looking into!

Do you think you could add more outfit slots in the Avatar Dressup feature? I've maxed my slots out already and I don't mind buying new ones, with gold or even Cash if you so decide to add more

Sure we can add more slots!

feature: log out page

why are there ads on the log out page? they don't make you any money what so ever and at one point about a year ago it was announced they were being removed but now there back

can we please get rid of the ads on the log out page?

We had a mis-communication when we optimized some ad banners recently. We'll look into getting them removed.

Features/Marketplace

On the marketplace you can sell outfits, however this feature has just made customers drain their inventory of all their unwanted items. I’m sure a lot of items that no longer have marketplace listings are included into these avatars. Is there anyway you can make some sort of search feature that allows you to search a specific item attached to an avatar outfit being sold? I think this will help out a lot of Gaians!

Outfit search can probably be done but will be a bigger project so it might take some time to complete.

Thank you for re-adding in some of the go fusion stuff! It's helping however there seems to be some missing and some items have double entries (ie not just the same item for human and paws but the same exact entry) Can we get that looked in to?


Please let me know which entries are duplicated and I can take them away, and I'll check and bring back any missing entries.

The forum advance search function is broken! I hope its an easy fix!

Thank you for fixing the inventory search awhile back!

When will people start to receive the Integrity Ring for not abusing the glitch that made orb-trade possible?

Approximately how long do you think it will take?


I think it'll probably come out after summer. We are still planning on that event at the moment.

SmashBlox doesn't seem to function properly.

When wanting to join a tournament, half of the time it says you can't join because the time is ending, while it isn't.
And if you can enter, you can't actually click the blocks, and the game ends prematurely, which is a bummer.

Could this be fixed? I would just want to know whether the staff is aware of the problem and trying to fix this, or now.

Thank you.


I agree, it is a bummer. I will do what I can to fix it.

Gaia Online Features/Reporting Page

Is there any chance that in the future can we please get an option of reporting a thread for being necro'd? I just saw a thread in SF that got necro'd for 2014 and I believe it is still up and not binned. It's hard to tell a moderator about the problem if there is no reporting option for a necro'd thread.

Thank you! emotion_kirakira
You can report that as Spamming since necro-ing a thread is a form of spam!
Zero Omega
We probably won't add a specific "necro'd thread" reporting option because we have a system that prevents old threads from being posted in in most forums. SF was an exception forum because there could be valid reasons to bring back an old thread. If you feel a thread has run its course and is being necro'd for no reason, you can just report it as "spamming" and the team will review it.

Alchemy

can we get some more items of zOMG in alchemy? i wanna see zOMG theme alchemy recipes for zOMG items. i know we have back alley bargains doing original zOMG items but i wanna see cool items that dedicated each area of zomg like outfit for zen gardens (ninjas, kimonos, monster inspired outfits) that way more people get into zOMG to search for more ingredients or use the already made items from back alley Bargains items


I've made the suggestion too, hopefully when more Gaians request for zOMG items the art team can make it happen!

Could we get Flynn's Plunder and Nicu's Shop restocked? They've not been filled in quite some time, and I am sure there are some tickets/recolors/bundles/etc that could use some love.

Flash Spaces

Will there be new flash spaces added anytime in the near future? I love Towns 2 and exploring Gambino island, as well as walking around Virtual Hollywood. I would love to see a flash space for Durem and Aekea outside of the housing areas. I remember there also used to be sponsored flash spaces. Will we see more of those too in the future?


Spaces, yes. But not from flash. My next project in fact.

What happened to the choice in poses where your arm/leg poses matched the skin you were wearing? I don't use most of the skins that are on the pose choices for most of the items these days (Like base skins/fantasy skins) I use black and white but I would like to go bare with my fluffy self now and then too. ; u;

(Does it cause issues with some skins because of patterns? I noticed with some back when the items did this that when I used the feline skin my arms would show the torso pattern instead of arm when you used the pose that would have the arm/hands in front of the torso.)


It's been a limitation in our avatar system where the skins might not be compatible with all poses. Please provide me with the item name and which pose, and I'll look into it to see if it's a bug or not.

Hi there staff! A bunch of us are getting kicked out of Fishing with these server errors. Is there an explanation for why this may be happening? It has been going on for a week now. Thank you!


We actually had been having game server issues for the past three days. We're identifying the problem right now and we hope to fix the problem within this week. Sorry for the trouble, we see the server going down but don't know exactly what is causing the issue yet.

I know this is extra but will html ever be available to customize or is it easily breakable? ;o;


HTML is generally not available because there are too many ways to cause harm if we open the coding up. To make it secure requires a lot of work and continued updates when new vulnerabilities are found, that's why we usually shy away form it. If there are any bbcode support you would like to see, please let us know!

will there be a fix to the current notification bug? a lot of users have been concerned with how they don't get notifications for replies in their threads, then getting them all at once.


We're currently working to fix some backend bugs that related to both the game servers and notification system. I'll send out a site notice soon about it. We haven't identified the issue yet, but hope to have things fixed in a day or two. sweatdrop

At some point, yes. We have to replace them with html5 versions. There is a lot to do ahead of that, unfortunately.

Gaia Features/ Gaia Labs

When will the "new header" that was scrapped earlier this year be put in Gaia Labs? I mean, it's been months since Rue, I think the devs username was, said he would put it in Gaia Labs. I was just wondering whatever happened with that? sweatdrop


As it turns out, the header was slow to load for a lot of users. He's busy with another project at the moment but should be able to enable the feature on Gaia Labs later.

Misc: Usernames

There is a username I have been eyeing for some time now, and the account attached to it has not logged in since April of 2010, their last post was August of 2009, and their avatar is also devoid of any items. Is there a way to claim the username?

You can file a ticket at our Help Center to try and ask for it. However we cannot guarantee that we'll be able to free up the name for you.

Really will it be HTML5? And will it work inside the Gaia app? That would be awesome,
then it would work both on desktop computers and mobile devices. Also could you make
some fun mini games inside those spaces (e.g. daily quizzes about Gaia), daily items
and other fun features that will make us want to return to those spaces? That's just
some suggestions, I have more suggestions if you're interested cat_3nodding


Not sure of what features it will have. I am sure it will be HTML5.

I'm hoping to start on it soon, and at first, I'll be focused on the technical features before we move on to the fun creative stuff.

What does the invo worth calculator use? abp or lbp?

I believe it took the data from abp. I was worried hat things would fluctuate too much if it's set to lbp.

Bug

My Gaia thread notification links are broken, sometimes.

Often quotes do not have the thread title and tips have empty text in the anchor (the anchor itself exists, no text content)
https://i.imgur.com/ClOJMMI.png
^ the "(no subject)" thread is the GaiaUpgrade thread, it definitely has a subject

Someone made a thread about this https://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/bug-report-technical-support/tipping-notification-error/t.104542309/


We are having some server issues, not sure if this is related. Is the issue you're seeing something that's recent? Or is it's always been there?

So the very very old inventory arranger is no longer being updated. We have built 2 inventory arrangers since that one came out, and also we are not able to update the very very old inventory arranger for technical reasons.

Features / Items

a few weeks ago, prompted by the community interest, Lanzer said that staff was working on putting all items back into GoFusion. as of right now, a lot of odds and ends from old CIs, craftable CIs, holiday sweaters, etc that had been taken out are back! However, still missing are many original items like Sunflower Petal, Duet Wings, Princess Golden Fan... + others

thank you for the progress, but are the missing items still going to be put back? there is currently no other way to obtain these items as they are unique to the feature

furthermore, could this & all crafting systems - with all formulas/items available - be merged into Alchemy in the future?


I'll look into putting the missing formulas back, please give me a week as we have some nasty server errors to track down. sweatdrop

Where do you prefer that we post comments and things which seems to be bugs of the new inventory (ie. the v2)?


You can post in the bug forum. If you quote me in the post I'll respond faster.

But while you are here, what's the issue?


My locker in inventory (normal) is filled with several pages and it's way longer to load than the unsorted items (which is filled with at least 3 times more items).

There was something else, but I'll need to re-test it first.

Edit: Just to make things clear, I'm really talking about the locker folder when we open it in the newest inventory.


so you are saying you have trouble opening the locker box in boxed inventory because of the number of items in it?

how do so many entries on the market keep a random number as their average buy price? what makes this happen? i'd bring up some examples but i can't remember any off the top of my head and nothing listed in my store atm is glitched.


As the average price is calculated on our backend server, and our backend server is currently having problems, there might be a chance it's related. If this is happening to a specific item please let me know here, or PM me if you find out later.
