Seriously, what is up with all the bitching? So much work has been put into making this site more user-friendly, putting in tonnes of new features for easier browsing, easier access to msgs and a whole load of other stuff. Think about the amount of planning, coding, designing and testing that had to happen before V6 officially launched. We all knew it was coming, we were given so many updates and we were given the opportunity to be involved
I can now go through my messages very easily without having to refresh the page. I like that. It saves me a lot of time. I love how everything's organised. I had an issue earlier about DDs not getting enough exposure -- but that was before I saw the new msg centre. It's at the bottom right there every time - and at the bottom of each deviation, and the front page. So the exposure for DDs is still good
I don't particularly like the front page putting extra attention on the most popular devs, but there's good stuff too: like the menu at the side that shows all the categories and makes sub-categories easier to browse. So I can deal.
It just irks me to see so many people whining about how awful it is and how it's the end and WAAAH WAAAH WAAH
Ok, so non-subscribers can now see thumbnails but don't you think dA would be working on extra features that are subscriber only? If there was only a tiny difference then they would lose their subscribers. They're not stupid, people From ^Ikue's journal:
Q. What is the point of a paid subscription anymore? Every deviant has the same features! A. deviantART has not over looked it's actual paying members. You are in fact the people that helped pay for the upgrade. The powers that be have upgrades to these upgrades, and they will be subscriber only. I cannot say what these new features are or when these extra features will start to roll out (I'm assuming sometime after all deviants are migrated to the new system) However, if you thought thumbs in your inbox was the best it could get... Think Again.
Please go read that journal before you decide to post ANOTHER journal complaining about V6.
Thank you.
DISCLAIMER: Anything written in this journal is not directed at any deviant in particular so please spare me the drama. I also do not claim to have enough watchers to expect any sort of significant response. That statement was to avoid any accusations of self-importance . Now go read and enjoy these features!!
You know what? So what if we're going over with next to nothing? We're going to make it. That's life. People get jobs, people make money, they're able to make ends meet. My mom and I can do it. All this stuff has been happening for a reason. Our money was stolen to make us stronger. That's what's going to happen. We knew it was going to be a struggle in the beginning. We're going to make it
And I'm going to be a kick ass graphic designer once I get to start focusing on my art more. I'm going to save up my money when I get a job, and I'm going to buy a computer and I'm going to buy a camera, and I'm going to get my plane tickets to visit Paul in Canada. It's a new beginning and I won't let this get me down any more.
Paul made tonight perfect. He took me out to dinner. Omg, the food was amazing. I ate 'till I almost felt sick...lol Then we came home by me and we cuddled on the couch...and we told each other how sad we'd be apart...we let everything out...and then we counted off the things to look forward to while we're apart...and everything is going to be ok. I've never trusted anyone in my entire life like I trust Paul; Paul is the only stability I've ever had in my life and boy is he a keeper Have I ever gotten all mushy about Paul here? If not, it's about time . He's the most honest person I know. He's the long-term commitment type. He's funny, warm, loving, and down to earth. He's a geek like me...a little misfit...but he's not afraid to be himself. That's one of the things I admire the most about him. He treats me like a queen. He's never shouted at me. If one of us is mad at the other, he doesn't let it rest until we've settled the matter and both of us are happy again. We've been together for almost 2 years and 8 months and even though things are going so wrong in other areas of my life, I feel like the luckiest person in the world.
Remember that US$4500 I spoke about in my last journal? [link] You know, all the money we had to leave with? Guess what. The money's gone. Someone stole it from us. So now we move to Germany with $150 Euros. Man does the universe love my mother and I.
The tickets are already bought and we won't be able to afford it for another 3 months after we get the rest of money for the house so we've still got to leave.
Well I've gotten used to being strapped for cash so I can deal. We'll just have to work harder in the beginning. My poor German language skills will not help me get a job right away...but maybe some hotel needs an english-speaking tour-guide or something while I do my German langage course lol we'll see how it goes.
You either laugh or you cry, right? I chose to cry...don't feel very much like laughing at this one but I've stopped crying now. This shit is happening for a reason. Maybe I was a thief in my last life or something . Yes, it's ok. Things will work out. It's just 2-3 months until we get the rest of the money for the house. It could be 6 months from now, with my family's luck...but let's hope for the best
Sorry I'm burdening you with personal shit. Man I just needed to get this out...and I really like hugs.
who did it?! omg omg omg!!! *jumps up and down* 
Yet another V6 Journal :)
