Can the wishlist have a "clear all" or "delete all" button? Right now we can delete items we already own, but we have to individually select each and every item if we want to clear the wish list and start anew.

We'll add a delete all button to our todo list.

Can you fix the bug on the inventory which is preventing us from moving items in the paw tab? If we send items to the temporary storage, save changes and we try to move them back somewhere in the paw tab, we get the "Cannot drop equip item to paw tab." message. It's troublesome if we want to sort items there.

We will look into fixing the inventory paw item bug

In the past, it's been promised to me and later on others that pagination would be added to the top of the page in inventory, trade and mp selling page, but they never were.

This is a gentle reminder it still needs to be done and I would be very happy once it was as it would save me a ton of scrolling. I've worn out the scroll wheels on two sets of mouse in just 5 months due to all the scrolling just opening RIGs and working with inventory alone, plus lots of trades. That's a LOT of scrolling that would no longer be needed with such a simple change. Thanks.

We tried adding pagination to the top, but the page was setup in a strange way where the items and pagination data are loaded after the tabs, so I wasn't able to add pagination above the tabs the way I wanted to without re-writing a lot of the system. I had to defer that feature to a later time. Sorry.

Forums:

When I report a blatant ad for some external website posted in the Extended Discussion of all places, how long should it take before the ad is taken down?

Today I tried to report a miracle-weight-loss website ad, and I triggered the "already reported" message (I thought it looked familiar). That means it has been about 24 hours. After 24 hours, should I PM a mod or just be patient because thread deletions and perma-bans take time?

We likely didn't have any mods looking at ED reports at the time, it looks like it might be cleaned up at this time but that is the likely reason it was there after 24 hours.

Gaia Features/Booty Grab Glitch

Hi, Devs! Direct Links to aquariums to play Booty Grab and even anyone clicking to go to our aquariums in our signatures to play Booty Grab have not been working for about 2-3 weeks now. Can you please fix this? emo


Uh oh, what happens when you click on the link? Do you see a regular tank with no Booty Grab or do you see an error message? If so, what error do you see?

When you click 'Visit My Aquarium' on an aquarium in someone's signature, the link is broken and will not load a new page for a user's aquarium to show up. The link doesn't work when you click on it basically. This makes it impossible for us to post Direct Links to our aquariums in our Glow Threads and from accessing our aquariums and I have been using another link provided by another user who runs a tank thread.

Here is the link they gave me with the icon. It is the only way anyone can go to any of our aquariums at the moment to play Booty Grab. emo

Thank you, Lanzer! emotion_kirakira


Uh oh! Looks like the lastest version of Chrome had disabled links that are inside flash banners. We will make a patch that will create a link right underneath your aquarium signature so everyone can still play Booty Grab. Unfortunately Flash support is slowly going away.

Hi staff! Fishing has been plagued with server errors again this month, and alot of folks are losing buckets still. I know this happened back in June- could you let us know what is causing this issue? Thank you kindly!


Uh oh, I will need to do a lot of debugging to find out the problem. Hopefully we can fix it quickly. Sorry for the lost fish!

Could we please see a re-release of legendary amulets? Or a permanent addition to the in-game shop like you did with the Fafnir shards. 3nodding Either would be much appreciated! (Seriously. Thank you again for doing that with the shards! It's amazing.)


I'll ask the team to add the legendary amulets when they get a chance.

Sorry for the late ping!
But they should be in the LK shop now, under the Featured tab (2nd page!)

Onto a less contentious subject...Are we going to be seeing halloween gold shop items this year?


I think the team is still deciding on the details for the Halloween event. I'll pass your request to the team.

Hi Gaia Staff!

Games- zOMG
A list of matters needed to be addressed in zOMG ASAP:

Where are the other zOMG Servers - No more Server Cycle? -
At current writing of this post, are the only servers available working at the moment are Bootsnake and Landshark? I mean, how did it happened that all servers broke down? Is there a connection with the ongoing server migration?

Fountain Game - What's the progress? Is it ready to come back? heart

"Goof Course" Badge and New Upcoming Badges? -
The grant for the badge for discovering the Goof Course is still broken. Needs bug fix as well. Also, will the Labtech and Seacycle Badges be added soon?


We had a lot of work cut out for us this month due to the server migration, but as soon as we're done we will look into the badge and fountain game.

Meanwhile, we should have the server restart script fixed tonight.

Gaia Forum/ Gaia Forum Post Suggestion

When looking at a user's post history in the forums, in the future, can you please put a search box to search for keywords in a user's posting history so we can find certain posts of theirs? Or just make this feature for Dev accounts' posting histories? I sometimes want to go back and search for posts past Devs have posted about about an issue and it is really hard to go back through every one of their posts page by page in their forum posting history to do so. emo


We will be switching to a new search engine during the server migration. I'll look into whether or not we can have additional filters for filtering out authors moving forward.

Hi there,

Have you reported that Here?

Can you give us a roadmap or a brief idea of what your plans for future site development are?

Such as; when you think towns 3 might be done, if and when zOMG will get updated to HTML5 or get new map areas, if current flash games are getting upgraded to HTML5 or not, and when you think the storyline driven events will start up again(from the Gaia NPC poll we had).

Any info that you are able to give is appreciated by the community.


I'm working on Towns 3 right now. Maybe a few months? Not sure because all the features have not been finalized. Everything that can reasonably be converted to HTML5 will be.

Could you exclude Pink Link from the daily platinum cap? I get excited whenever I get one, but I usually only manage to open a single one before the next one gives me 1 plat, and lots of times it's just pointless since I already hit the cap by picking up the daily rewards/treats emotion_facepalm


The Platinum system is due for an update. We will also make sure prizes aren't affected by the gold curve.

Games,
whats the word on towns 3 when can we expect to see it on gaia?


How about 2 words? "In Progress" Yesterday I worked on the chat bubble code that makes the bubbles get out of the way of each other.

Please add in more items that have gone quiet on the market. like NPC underwear (need many of these for alchemy), Gore Red Foot Soldier's Rounder Shield and hundred of others like it.


We will look into adding those items into rotation.

Are there still plans to update Guilds? I've been told before that it would happen, but i think it's been two years now or something. It feels like forever ago.


Sorry Guilds is still on the waiting list. We're gonna migrate the whole system to use the new forum backend once we're ready.

Ah-ha. I remembered the question that I was forgetting. emotion_facepalm Also, belatedly: hi, staff!

Games -- LK

I asked a few months ago about the status of two projects for LK (switching avi captcha avatars from closet to favorites and a potential art contest for a new loading screen). ATS 7/10. They were added to what I'm sure is already a lengthy to-do list. (It might not sound like it, but I swear I do appreciate everything that all of you do on the site. Truly. You're all wonderful.)

However, because I love the game and the community, I wanted to ask: any updates on these two?


I actually looked into using favorites on avi captcha, but the system was different enough that it was pretty hard to implement. Though after the server migration it might be much easier to call up the image and metadata. I'll look into it again next month.

The new art contest should happen in the near future.

Inventory 2 beta

This one goes to CodeMonkey
Hey, are you aware that it's impossible to trash things in new inventory arranger?
I've tried multiple times and every time I try to trash things the arranger freezes
I've tried having a full trash bin, one with few things in it, trashing from unboxed,
and trashing from a box and it freezes every time


I will look into it in the next few hours! Thanks!!

Misc: How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?


Hi there,

New York state wildlife expert Richard Thomas found that a woodchuck could (and does) chuck around 35 cubic feet of dirt in the course of digging a burrow. Thomas reasoned that if a woodchuck could chuck wood, he would chuck an amount equivalent to the weight of the dirt, or 700 pounds.

Is Halloween Event gonna be related somehow to zOMG or just reactivate the old Halloween Event for it in zOMG? (The Old Trick or Treat one, where we earn the Badges for dealing with Pumpkins or so, besides the Ghosts and Jack)


While we're building a new Halloween event for the main site, zOMG will have the same event that from last year. I'll see about adding new prizes.
