In our continuous effort to improve the deviantART experience, we're publishing Site Updates to keep members informed and to gather feedback. Below is a list of recent changes to the site, bug fixes, and feedback that was brought up by members in the
last Site Update.
What's New
Group Journal Comment Messages for Admins
Over the past few months, many members have been asking to bring back the feature where Group admins receive Message Center notifications when members comment on their Groups' journals. This week, we brought back this functionality and messages will now be appearing for all new comments.
Group journal messages will appear for all users who have administrative powers over that Group's journal. For example, if the "Contributors" admin class is set to 'Can add/edit most content rights' on Journals, then Journal comments will show up in the Group Message Center for all Contributors in that group.
Improved Groups Widget
The Groups widget on your profile has been improved, so that the distinction between being a member of a Group and being an admin of a Group is more clear.
The widget will now display on your page with two subheadings, so that any visitor to your page will be able to distinguish between the Groups you admin and the Groups you take part in as a member.
Justified Big Thumbnails (Beta Testers Only)
Based on feedback received, we've updated the new thumbnails to be justified. Thumbnails are now spaced out across the rows, making them flush against the left and right sides of the page.
When a browser's window is too small, justification cannot happen without leaving larger awkward spaces. In these cases, justification is turned off and thumbnails become left aligned. We think these changes present the most appealing interface for both cases.

Your Feedback
In last week's discussion, feedback included:
- The responses to implementing Group Forums were universally positive.
- Many users liked the idea of differentiating signatures from the comments they're attached to, but some were opposed to changing colors to do so.
- It was suggested that opening a new Sta.sh Writer document should automatically load the last skin you used.
Bugs, issues, and feedback from previous Site UpdatesDiscuss! 
Last week we received fantastic feedback on Group Forums, something that has been requested for quite some time from deviants. This week, we'd like to continue our Groups-related discussions:
Super Groups are deviantART's premium Groups platform, allowing for extra customization, including renaming Admin classes, changing your group's layout, using group journal skins, and more.
Are you in any Super Groups? Do you find them useful? What features do you enjoy about Super Groups? What features would you like to see in Super Groups? How do you feel about the differences between Groups and Super Groups?
We'd like to get an idea of how you utilize the Super Groups features, if you do. If you don't, why not?

Uhm, sorry for disturbing you, but I need an answer and this is very important: Since dA is keep getting updated with new features everytime, there's an important thing, I REALLY need to be added. And it's "Remove/Delete comment" in the pen tool were you edit besiddes "hide comment" because I really WANT to get rid off my old comments, chain mails and spams, because it's so annoying and makes my profile wall looks messy, and I HAD readed the faqs about it for LONG time ago, but I can't stand this "hide comment" anymore and because it's too risky. I would be so happy and thankful, if the "Remove/Delete comment" is gonna be added, I will be free and feel more better, so I can clean up my profile wall. Please reply...
