Site Update: Bug Fixes, Commissions

Your Feedback

Thank you for the feedback on last week's Site Update!

• We're still Beta Testing the new mobile website header that was launched last week, but in response to feedback from the Beta Testing community, your message total will now display in the menu on the mobile website.
• In response to the Discuss topic, deviants said that they would like individual deviations and Group deviations to be separated, when viewing their Message Center.
• PlatinaSi, Lumdrop and a few other deviants suggested a third separation item in addition to the separation of individual and Group messages, specifically to view updates from deviants they've marked as Friends.

Commissioning Artists

When you commission an artist to create work, do you generally do so for yourself, or as a gift for others? Do you find your commissions are more for personal or professional reasons?
