ECLIPSE disaster

0 min read

Hey friends, I'm not sure how many of you actually come to the group for your Weaponry reading, rather than just snacking on pages from your notifications, but Eclipse has made it impossible for me to accept comic pages to the group anymore. The notifications are visible, but every time I try to click on them to accept the comic page, it boots me back to my private notifications. No idea how to fix it, and DeviantART is patently opposed to listening to its users' feedback or, y'know, actually making a functional website, so I don't know if this is something that can be fixed. If any of you have found a way to troubleshoot this problem, please let me know. And, as always, thank you for reading!

It has required me to go back to school for training (twelve courses to be precise; so far I've finished two).3. This has cut down on my creative time, as well as time for anything else, like hanging out with my friends, exercising, or (my one true love) writing. 4. I lost a bunch of followers, ...
