Regarding the Avatar Builder, is there a reason why, when I select the option to ‘view opposite gender’, any subsequent actions except for ‘Get Naked’ that I take only apply themselves to the built avatar of my (current avvie’s) own gender? I’m trying to build a male OC and if I can’t work with the male base… that’s going to be a bit of a problem. (Of course, I could work around this by having the female base in the Builder wear limb mods and all, but it’s just not the same thing.)

There are some slight limitations with the avatar builder as it works with the current dress up program which assume you are staying the same gender throughout the experience. We are actually planning on expanding the functionality of avatar dress up to allow gender changing. That should be an option down the road, hopefully within the next two months.

The previous ATS said any fangame that would be sold for profit, would need to contact Gaia for a publishing deal. How would one go about that?

You can PM Lanzer if you plan to release a game based on Gaia asset for sale. Typically we just needed to make sure the game doesn't break TOS.

Is it possible to have a quick "find and replace" of old image urls on the forums? Thumbnails are broken all over the place in old threads due to the change from "s.cdn.gaiaonline.com" to "graphics.gaiaonline.com". If not automatic, as it could easily break some posts if they almost reached the characters limit or something else, at least a quick button a post writer could press on which would let them preview the fix before proceeding. Another possibility could be to have a button which allow users which find a post they want to see properly to view it with the content replacement. Guides and item lists are rather useful and a shorter way to edit them would greatly help.

Good point on the broken images. We can add a filter to replace all the old URL to the new ones. Expect a patch within a week or so.

FEATURES / BROWSER EXTENSION
Hey everyone. So why are you guys building a browser extension for your own website? Isn't that kind of bizarre? I don't understand why it's necessary to implement a dark theme on the site instead of just editing the coding and giving us a toggle switch.
Also, what is this "secondary ad revenue" about? I don't feel safe using the extension at all with that wording. Are you going create pop-ups, override or break our adblock extensions, sell our information, or what?

We'll soon have an FAQ on the browser extension for Gaia, it's a sponsorship to promote a 3rd party search engine, and in turn they help put resources into building some features for us, and that happen to be dark mode for forums. There aren't anything crazy like selling user info, and no overriding adblock, those types of stuff.

Still checking, asking Codemonkey to see if I can resurrect it
Yay! I sure hope we can! Glad to see others want it too!
I will look for it and see what I can find.

I wasn't sure if the update was delayed or if Miasmal Viperex is just super-rare, so...
Could we please get an announcement or staff notice when Miasmal Viperex gets added? You might be planning on doing this anyway, but I figured it didn't hurt to ask. Thanks either way! emotion_bigheart

Sorry there was a delay and I believe it was just released. I will check with the team and give a site notice with an update.

Feel free to message me if you have a list of items in question! Or just quote me in the "re-release this item" thread and I can get back to you.

Game items are still stuck in many people's trades. I haven't heard an update about this in quite some time, when can we reasonably expect an update about the issue?

is there a way we could get the auto mute turned off on the new profiles. I would like to hear my music and I like hearing other peoples music too.

Hi there,
Unfortunately it is out of our hands. The autoplay feature was changed on a browser level (so out of Gaia's hands to change) to automatically mute. This is across browsers, sorry.
Lanzer
It's a restriction on the browsers, no auto-play unless mute is turned on. sweatdrop

Rewards
Reminder: Points Listing: "expired" dates still counting UP
Reminder: Celestial Gift 3 is still available
Other: I don't know if Not a Dying Squeak should still be available.
tab It was associated with this 2-week RiG. It's more of an unknown intention concern. Do I keep it logged as having an old "intended to leave 8/14/19" date, or remove the date as it's actually meant to be in Rewards for a long term stay like Midori Furina and others?
I don't really know where to stick notes like this, I can't tell if the Site Feedback thread for Rewards is monitored by anyone that could/would make use of such information.

Can we get a dock of some sort on the avi builder to hold items?
Sort of like a rack in a dressing room so you don't have to go back and search for items if you take it off?

Would an item history work? We can keep track of the last 100 items you tried on as a feature. Probably more. I'll add that to the todo list. We are going to be updating avatar dress up very shortly with some really cool features.

When will a notifications system be added to the Gaia Mobile app? (idk if its already been implemented for the apple version, but there isnt one that i can see on the android version).
It's frustrating to post in the forums on mobile and not know when someone has quoted you/replied or sent you a PM

We're working on that, along with chat features. I think chat will come out first then notifications.

I started working on that feature, got caught up with the Halloween event. There will be some delay but it should be released down the road.
The page refresh was there as the original code wasn't built with stacking in mind. We will need to re-work the marketplace script to work better with stacking.

Features-Mobile App- Catwalk
I tried getting someone's attention on this last week, but sometime on Wednesday to Thursday the catwalk museums broke and aren't updating (and featured themes haven't granted rewards). Any chance to get that patched? Best Served Cold is the only museum that appeared properly on Wednesday while the silver and gold themes are missing. After that it's just not updating at all.

Thank you for reminding me. There is a patch that needs to be pushed out. It will be fixed very soon.

Features: Outfits
So outfits are still broken. Two major bugs that I know of (there might be more but I didn't experience them)
Replacing outfits : Whenever I replace an outfit, instead of actually replacing the outfit, it merges the old and new outfit together; So the items become a mess. Only the picture of the outfit get's overwritten properly.
Arm poses reset : On every outfit for everyone, if we save an armpose different to the default one, it gets reset back to the default one, so things like arm items disappearing (if they don't have a default arm pose) and skin tones being mixed because they're decided by the pose happen with every outfit.
Wonder if we can see a fix soon?

Yikes, we will fix the outfit replace bug within the week.
I will also look into the issue with arm pose not saving. Hopefully that will also be a quick fix.

Thanks to feedback of other zOMG players we do have an event planned. The upcoming event had kept pushing the schedule back but once we get some more resources later this year we should be able to get some resources to implement the event.

Yeah, think I'm going to echo the same question as another user...
Can it be looked into why, when you trying to sell an item from something you have multiples of in the MP, that it'll refresh after you list one? This is something that doesn't affect me on my main, but on all of my mule accounts I had this issue. It tends to make things very annoying for listing items in my shops there, and I have to have stacking disabled on those accounts so it doesn't keep refreshing when I'm selling items that I have multiples of.

If I remember correctly, the original program did not expect stacking as a feature, and each item would be represented with one serial number in the item list. Once an item is sold, the program would run out of serial number for any stacked item. We can probably add an additional update to fetch a new serial number without refresh. I will add that to the to-do list.

I read every question. I can't answer most, but all are read. If I know one that can be answered by someone who isn't in ATS normally I might shoot them a message so they can swoop in with an answer, but that's rare.

connected question.
if fans/ members made merch, say plushies. are we allow to pitch them to the staff? I'm not even sure how it would work to sell them. so i haven't ever tried. what is the legality of that?
I know I can sell fanart and stuff at a convention, but I avoid ebay.
of course you couldn't advertise them on Gaia itself, as that's against the rules (if i read them correctly) but could you sell them at cons or on my website?

It is totally okay to sell merch at conventions. Your personal store at a marketplace site such as Ebay is okay too.
In general, unless the merchandise is being mass marketed and sold not by an individual but by a distributor, then a company has to step in. There's this whole rule where if you don't defend your copyright from company A, you can't defend your copyright when company B infringes it.
