Did you know that there was more than one way to submit to your scraps gallery? In fact there were galleries in the category chooser that redirected your deviations to your scraps gallery. If you submitted to:

    photography > snapshots                                   or
    literature > poetry > journal poetry                    or
    Traditional Art > Drawings > Doodles and Sketches or
    Digital Art > Drawings > Doodles and Sketches

the submission engine automatically redirected those deviations to the more suitable scraps section of your user gallery.

While the best of intentions were behind enabling these scrap traps, overtime, it's become obvious that all they really do is lead to confusion and numerous help desk tickets have been filed by confused deviants who can't find the deviation they just submitted.

As of this morning, these traps have been removed and, once the submission menu refreshes, will no longer appear as an option to submit to.

However, unfinished work, such as doodles, sketches, snapshots of your friends, etc, should not be placed in the main galleries but instead submitted into your scraps gallery.

Hopefully, these minor clean up changes will help ease frustration and confusion :)

Happy Submitting
:heart:

One of my 3D models (that I had screencapped at multiple angles) got moved to scraps early this morning. I had tried to categorize it as a 3D model as best I could, but NOPE, they just haaaad to move it!
