Just to change journal and update everyone, issue has been resolved. A few more steps to get to where I need to go, but you may have noticed, artwork for past week has been approved. Many thanks to those who sent me a note to offer help & advice.


Expired submissions coming up this weekend, pending any RL setbacks.

***NOTICE***

(Disruption in approving submitted art)


With DA now having switched all accounts over from Old DA to Eclipse, I have found I'm no longer able to approve submitted artwork that's being submitted to the group as an admin.


Anyone reading this fill me in on how to find new submissions under Eclipse for this group so I can approve them?  Any advice would be greatly appreciated, just send me a note/private message.  You have my many thanks!


One reason I stayed with old DA until the end was I could never figure out how to approve artwork from Eclipse, the feature wasn't there, or if it was I couldn't find it.  On old DA, I just clicked on 'All Notifications', looked down the left side bar, clicked 'Adorable Ponies' under Groups and was able to approve items sitting under the "Correspondence Items" section, quite simple to do.


The Group message icon on the Adorable Ponies group itself says I have 79 messages waiting for me to approve, but clicking on it just doesn't take me to the group correspondence page, but instead back to my main Eclipse homepage. But the Group still looks like old DA as I don't think they've converted the Groups over to Eclipse yet, so the links are broken it appears, at least to me. Haven't gotten no response from DA support about it, so I'm really stuck. Guess they don't know how to fix either? *shrug*. But I'm sure other group admins have found a way by now, reaching out to you all for help.


Until I can figure this out, any submitted artwork will expire, I apologize for that. Just resubmit in hopes I can get this issue resolved sooner than later. Thanks for reading and any help/advice you can offer.

Dreaded this day, but it has finally happened. I used old DA until they forced me here kicking & screaming to use the not-so friendly Eclipse interface with no way to return the more user-friendly old DA. First time looking through it trying to do stuff, but nothing is working for me, it's confusing. I guess over time I'll either figure it out or leave for another art site. Please bear with me as I try to figure out this confusing new artwork website.


And where is pagination? The site gets so laggy when it starts loading up more pictures underneath more pictures, instead of being able to display X amount of pics on a screen at a time with pagination.


Group Admins - How do you find any artwork that's been submitted to your art groups that needs approval? They've made sure Eclipse isn't as easy as two/three mouse clicks and done like on old DA. If it is, where is the feature to do it here on Eclipse.


Quite frustrated with Eclipse, not as simple to use as old DA was.

Hello, I haven't updated my journal in several months, time to change that.  Still alive, have managed to avoid this bad virus so far, but wonder for how long and if I'll survive it when it happens.  Several things to go over, I'll try not to bore you too much.

1)  Loving this stay-at-home thing, as a strong introvert, I could live like this forever.  I'm going to enjoy this while it lasts, as I'm sure this won't last much longer.

2)  Still into MLP-G4 and will remain a MLP-G4 fan for life.  Nine seasons of reruns to watch and enjoy along with all the spinoffs, movies, shorts, and fan-made videos.  But I haven't been able to keep up with all the recent stuff going on after Season 9 ended, but still looking forward to Season 10 in the comics.

3)  Still keeping up seven MLP DA groups, when RL time allows.  While four of them I'm still active on, three I've had to put on maintenance mode, but still keep check on them weekly for any issues that may come up.  Life has gotten busier for me than expected, even with the stay-at-home stuff, but I refuse to abandon any MLP group I was entrusted to keep alive & going.

4)  Plenty of art stuff(MLP. Little Tails, & Second Life) to still post on DA if I ever get time to complete them & still playing catch-up on posting past art on my Twitter & InkBunny accounts that has already been posted here on DA.

5)  Gaming wise, LoTRO is on the back burner, but still log on occasionally once a week for an hour or two.  Still playing Runescape daily for around 30 minutes on average.  World of Warcraft, after going hard & heavy on it for months, not playing as much as I once was, but did manage to level up 12 characters to level 120 before burning out on the leveling part.  Now just going back enjoying all the content I've missed for past few years(WoD, Legion, BfA expansions) between all 12 characters in one form or another and doing transmog runs in older dungeons & raids for a couple hours a week.

6)  An online platform that I recently rejoined to is Second Life, after many years of being away.  I'm really enjoying it again and hope to start posting in-game pictures on one of my avatars in my gallery soon to show them off on their adventures and different clothing.  A few other Deviants on DA I've noticed are also playing SL and posting their avatar pictures and thought that was so cool, I'd like to do that here myself.  I'll try to keep it to a picture or two a day once I start posting them so I don't flood everyone with so many photo shots each day.

I think that's all for now, still ended up being pretty long though.  Stay safe, take care of yourself, and pray you remain healthy or survive any form of the virus if you are infected by it.  And a shout out to all our medical professionals, THANK YOU for being on the battle front and risking your own health for the care of others.

Happy New Year to everyone!

Lots changed in the past 10 years and I'm sure these next 10 years will bring even more changes.  I pray for the better, instead of the worse.

If in 2010 you'd told me that within a decade I'd fall in love and become a HUGE fan of a show featuring pastel colored ponies promoting the message about friendship, I would have assumed you were just trolling me and told you that you were out of your mind.  And now 10 years later, here I am, a fan for life to the MLP-G4 ponies and own T-shirts, drawings, plushies, and toys featuring them.  You never can really tell where you'll be in 10 years or what future thing might inspire you and change your direction in life.  People, friends, can come and go so quickly.  Even though I had ideas where I wanted to be and be doing in 10 years, those original ideas from 2010 never even happened.

With any new year, comes ideas & resolutions to "TRY" and do some of them.  Hopefully none of mine are too ambitious to do.  But mine involve hopefully more MLP Vectors, Little Tails artwork(request or fan-made drawn), trying to play my favorite MMOs in moderation, get back into playing some Bluegrass, and survive another year at my job.  There are more, but for now, we'll see how it goes in 2020, let's hope for the best.

Hope your new year resolutions start off on the right track and you have a good year for the new decade that's now upon us.

AND as always, Thank You for being a watcher and supporting the art!
