I am not liking the message area for submissions by shorty-antics-27
I've noticed that on here I don't feel compelled to actually look at the art that I get in my messages. Like if I have over 100 in my inbox and I'm looking at the submissions, there are way too many thumbnails next to each other that my eyes can't just stick to one of them.
FA, with the large icon option, makes it better for me to look over each submission and to determine if I want to click on it or not.
Also, people seem to be choosing really bad cropping areas. GUYS, IF YOU CROP TOO CLOSE UP IT'S NOT THAT INTERESTING TO CLICK ON.
I don't even bother with cropping. I just click "continue" when it comes to the cropping page. lol...
I personally like seeing the whole thing in the preview so I know what I am about to click on. If it's cropped on just the head of a character, I just don't care to click on it, or very rarely I do.

suggest the large icon option to the staff. I know they are open to suggestions.
as for the cropped thumbnails I like em but i understand what you mean
-
I'm seeing a lot of the thumbnails seems to be bothering people with their square shape alone. However, considering the site's compatibility with mobile devices of any sort, I'm starting to think this was a compromise of sort.
Lines of standardized square thumbnails of various forms: much easier to modify the layout when loading the site on mobile of different screen sizes or format. Or for the site to adapt it's shape to continue fitting properly within the screen of a device when this one goes from being held in an horizontal screen position to a vertical screen one.
On my end though.... I don't feel too compelled to look at the art from my images notifications, but that has more to do with the amount of migrating users using automated tools to transfer their galleries all at once making it hard to follow the art in the first place so until now I'd been mainly paying attention to journals(both within my own text notifications, and the site's own journals browsing section to read more site-at-large users stuff).
This said, from a chat with another users(admitedly it's hearsay though):
"I have heard that they plan to phase out the way that thumbnails currently work. Personally I would be cool with it if it was something like, hovering over a thumbnail shows the whole image or something." -
Yeah, I agree on this. I've noticed it as well that I don't really feel compelled to click to view the commissions.
-
Totally agree. I've emailed the admins to suggest that they add the artist and title as captions, instead of as a mouseover. For some reason I don't feel compelled to click on anything if I don't know who it's by or what it's called.

There is a huge amount of criticism regarding the submissions inbox; there is a long thread in the forums and many people have been posting journals and comments about it.
-
Yeah, cropping is to be used sparingly... And with some brains behind it.
-
Oh, maybe I should recrop it all... or rather, uncrop. XD

good points, also the 8 icons you get when i click submissions, before chosing the submissions, not characters and all those. Nota fan of that.
I dont know how it is now, but earlier you were forced to crop a tiny image
