Features: Inventory Arranger
Hello, I have been having this issue for a while. When trying to drag an item from the Temporary Storage to the inventory, the item will 'deselect', but if 'selected' can't be dragged properly, and if dragged and placed will result in a 'deselect' followed by inadvertently clicking the item to view its Marketplace states.
I am able to drag, drop, and copy just fine outside of this feature using other things such as forums, wordpad, videos etc.

Gaia's Inventory arranger does not support select/deselect for moving multiple items at one time. You will need to drag one item at a time.

Items / Features
I was wondering if there might be a new feature similar to the Go Fusion or bug/dye system where you could trade in a number of "junk" items for a new item. A way to reduce the amount of "junk" items floating around. For example the eyeball, block, emote items and others that are generated daily and are unsellable/worth nothing.
It wouldn't be a fancy item, possibly just a recolor in current color schemes. (Like a demure eyeball) And it would cut down on inventory clutter and reduce the number of items people trash and would also clear up MP listings.

That's a potential feature we can add to alchemy. We can have event mechanic do that too. We currently don't have this planned though.

Would it be possible to implement a feature that allows us to Favorite an MP user store? I have a few favorite sellers and it's a pain to try and remember all of them.

Other/Gaia News Weekly
Will Gaia eventually announce the winners of the weekly art, poetry, and short stories spotlights on the site through an actual announcement post, not just solely through emails?
The first edition of the newsletter was severely delayed, which made a lot of users lose faith in the project, thus significantly cutting down on the number of submissions as each week progresses. I also feel like a lot of users don't know about the newsletter since it is restricted to just email.
I would love to see the weekly winners posted in a single announcement in addition to the newsletter email. I would also love if they were spotlighted in the "Featured Artwork" spot on the Gaia home page next to the bulletin board.
I think it could really help spread more word about the newsletter and get users excited about submitting their pieces each week. o:

Unfortunately, the contents of the newsletter are exclusive to the newsletter. However, we can talk to some people to possibly feature one of the artworks on the main page.

How long does it take for a request in the Gaia Workshop to go from "Voting" to "Crowdfund" to "In Progress"?
I thought you only needed 40 votes for something to go from "a Voting Request" to a "Crowdfund Request", but some requests have well over 300 votes. Maybe I'm misunderstanding how this all works though.

There is no set time for it to move forward once it reaches the votes it needs. The process is that it will take a long as it takes for the Developers to investigate and familiarize themselves with the features to be able to generate an estimate.

Question Category Features - Tagging
Lanzer has mentioned a project in the works to enable users to tag items. When this is released, what is the plan to standardize the language used? Will this feature be paired with the potential plan to separate item poses, so that they can be tagged separately from the parent item?
Thank you for everything you do!

Thank you for everything you do!
Yes the system will be a continuation of the tagging project where currently Gaians can add and report tags in the inventory and marketplace item detail window. It opens up opportunities for Gaians to help scan and approve or disapprove submitted tags.
The tagging for specific poses is a bit complicated and will be tacked afterwards.

Cash Shop- Sweetheart Ring
Every year around Valentine's day, you guys would put Sweetheart Ring in cash shop. I was waiting for this month to come just for this ring but you didnt put it up. Can you guys put Sweetheart Ring in Cash Shop for limited time? Many users want one.

Games- zOmg
I have a couple issues with zomg
1)I cant add anyone as friend and have them show up as blue dots. Only blue dots were the first few people I added on this account in December.
2) Also people I defriend from zomg stay blue dots and cant be ignored. If I put on ignore on website or in game...once they talk they are unignored automaticly and Im stuck having to hear them chat with no way to shut them out.

There might be a bug with the friend/unfriend function within the game. For now you can use the friendslist feature on the web site to add or remove friends.

We will have the bug fixed very soon. Should be an easy fix.

Thank you for a lovely paw day! So many pretty new items!
I do have one request, however. Could we get a paw item re-release CI soon? We have thousands of items that never get a chance to see the light of day after initial release.
A CI in Loyal's for the super cheap paw items would be amazing too, as a way of getting the items back out there, without breaking the bank, or devaluing a newer item CI!

Hello! This is something I've been wondering about for a bit, and while it's possible there was an answer somewhere, I really can't recall when and where such an answer would be found. Why aren't hats considered accessories for the Accessory License?
On a personal level, I wear a hat every time I go outside. I have several varieties and colors, and they work really well with basically every outfit I have. It's basically my go-to accessory, as well as a necessity for me just the same as my glasses or my wedding ring. While this is my personal story, I know many others that wear and use hats as an accessory for their real-life outfits, and the same can translate into Gaia. Not only that, but when we get accessory trunks, we often get hats as part of the Gaiamade drops. While, yes, I understand that Gaia can basically do whatever they wish when it comes to items to place into these trunks, it does kinda make me wonder this: if you consider hats to be accessories for accessory trunks, then why not for the Accessory License so users can recolor hats that they may not ever be able to recolor otherwise?
I'd love it if one day the rules on the Accessory License could be changed to allow for hat recolors, but I don't expect that to happen. I just would love to know why they aren't considered accessories for the ticket, if at all possible. Thank you!

I believe the reasoning was (it's been so long) that hats come in more detailed and variable size than most accessories, and it didn't fit the spirit of the ticket. When we made the ticket we envisioned belts, hairclips, socks, bags, etc... Smaller things! We can keep in mind that this is a thing people want as we discuss tickets!
As for the Doll Trunk portion of the question, Doll Trunks are not necessarily all "accessories". For example, we've included Backgrounds a number of times and they also would not qualify for the Accessory License. Doll Trunks are usually just poses we choose to separate. They're really not a great guide for what tickets can be used for.

But it also doesn't work on any of my Spares or Alt accounts either , i've checked

Sorry we haven't done a deep dive into the issue as we haven't been able to reproduce it on our end. Can you have a look at the browser's console log and let me know if you see any errors being reported, and any description or screenshots of the daily treat page when it is not working for you?
We should probably start looking for additional partners for the feature.

Updates on FA applications? It's been 3 months now since the original announcement was made. I hate to keep asking, but there really hasn't been much transparency outside of "we're working on it."
Hi there,
Not sure what it is you are looking for here? We are working on it, not much more to be transparent about. The process takes time. If we haven't gotten to yours, be patient, we'll get there.

Hey there staff. Something that I've noticed lately when selling an item to my store, after submiting the item to sell, the page will reload and there will be a prompt window to sell the item again (this happens when there is multiples of the item and a single occurrence item). Is there something weird going on here??
Thank you and also thanks for the hard work! I am a returning user!

There might had been some changes to refresh the inventory based on your item stacking preferences. Will have to do some testing to find out exactly what is going on. We will make some javascript update later on that should remove any need for refreshing the page in order to update the inventory window.

I apologize if this has been addressed before but if so I missed it.
With the impending discontinuation of all adobe flash support at the end of the year, is the staff planning to convert the older games such as fishing and jigsaw over to HTML, or are we looking at those being discontinued along with flash?

Not really a question, just a friendly reminder about temporarily re-enabling the Valentine's kin drops in Kindred Wilds and Zen Temple (Lovebug, Sweet Lovebug, Valentine's Stagony)! emotion_bigheart
Unless, you know, the plan changed and they're no longer being added this year... in which case, disregard. Or if I missed them. Which would be embarrassing but also 100% possible because I'm easily distracted.

Any plans on "refreshing" the menus? The default ones, especially for forums, don't seem to lead to the most used places on the website. Gaia Upgrade does a great job on modding the different menu tabs to be more useful, but I was hoping you would consider making an overhaul of the menus or something by default? Can't install browse extensions on my work PC due to security reasons and the menus look so barren and sub-optimal :c

Yes we had a header revamp project a while back but it ran on a different framework and it didn't work out so well as there was a long loading time. Though as part of the project we made the whole site header responsive for mobile screens and I wanted to take that design back, streamline the menu choices and release a new header. Don't have a timeframe yet but we've been talking about it. Should have a timeframe for it once the current project is finished.

Oh yes, the friendslist overhaul need to happen so we can store more than 500 names at a time. Let me see about making some changes to allow more than 500 before we have the overhaul.

Ticket prices.
Will tickets eventually stop being sold in general? The queue times are growing longer, and longer and the prices of tickets remain the same.
$1,200 USD for a Rainbow Double Parcel Ticket seems absurd given the leeway required to get the item fulfilled.
Is anything be done in regards to this? As well as the Chibi tickets, Lapis tickets have pretty much been "discontinued", is Gaia still buying back these said tickets?

Hello! I just got back from band so I am answering things very late, sorry for the delay -w-
Queue times are actually shrinking for Project Recolor, which are the only tickets we have been selling.
We are working on Project Custom's backlog, however with limited resources we have had to offer buyback on some tickets. These offers will go out from time to time as we assess!
