Sta.sh
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
More Updates to the New Thumbnails Preview
Several weeks ago, we released a sneak peek of deviantART's new thumbnails. We've been making changes based on community responses, and today we've implemented a few more. In this updated version, the font, spacing, and colors of the text under the thumbs have been adjusted. Also, several members had concerns about the "frames" that were put around thumbs that were either extra tall, extra wide, or small images (such as emoticons and avatars). We've adjusted the visual display of these frames to make them less distracting.
Update: Fair Exposure and Popular Browse
Since the release of Fair Exposure, deviantART's algorithm for Popular browse results, we've noticed a concerted, dedicated effort made by deviants, or groups of deviants, to specifically beat (or "game") the system. This has, rightfully so, resulted in complaints from deviants who submit to deviantART in a fair and honest manner. In an article published earlier this week, we've addressed some of the community concerns, clarified our intentions of Fair Exposure, and explained how we are enhancing it.

The following Sta.sh bugs apply to features that are only available to Beta Testers:
- On Writer deviations, GIFs and PNGs were missing the preview button. Fixed by $adahacker

- The literature thumb shown on the new editor could be dragged to the collect bar. Fixed by $samshull
- The share buttons were missing when looking at your own deviations. Fixed by $samshull
- Visiting the Sta.sh sidebar section would break clicking on thumbs in all other sidebar sections thereafter. Fixed by $kemayo
- Beta testers should no longer have issues with skins overlapping the Writer toolbar. Fixed by $inazar

- Link titles in IE8 were broken. Fixed by $inazar
Your Feedback
- When browsing through Journals in your Message Center using the "next" and "previous" buttons, it's sometimes not clear whose Journal you're reading since some Journal skins have hidden the author's name. From ^pica-ae
- Add the ability to put friends into multiple friends lists. ~LegionaireB in the Suggestions Forum
- Using suggestions from the past few weeks' Site Updates, =katara-alchemist put together a mockup of a new deviation page that includes a list of collections that a deviation is in and shows artwork you might be interested in after favouriting the deviation.
