Sta.sh
In our continuous effort to improve the deviantART experience, we're publishing weekly 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
Announcing Rolled Fine Art Paper Prints
Starting immediately, deviantART is upgrading our rolled Fine Art Paper Prints to a more professional grade print process. The new and improved product will now ship with an additional 1.5" (3.81 cm) bright-white border ready to be hanged or framed! This change will not affect the way in which we currently provide Photo Prints, Canvas, or Frame Art Prints.

Discuss!
As mentioned at the beginning of the journal, we're upgrading our rolled Fine Art Paper Prints. However, deviantART's Shop also offers several other options for printing -- including mugs, magnets, and canvas prints. Of these items, which do you most prefer, which could also use an upgrade, or which new products would you like to see available in the Shop?

Consider faving
When I look for a certain kind of pic, for example, if I typed "anime tutorials" in the search bar and click on the first pic the use the "prev/all/next" buttons, I eventually find myself seeing no anime tutorials, but rather, featured deviations! It seems to be fixed when I go to "all", then go to the next page, but it's a bug that should be fixed.
This happens with all my other searches, too. :/
It's working fine. I haven't had any more problems with this. Thanks!
