...and what change would you like to see made?
I wanna start trying to think of stuff to ask/say in journals to interact with people here more, as I wanna make this my main site.
My favorite thing about Weasyl is the banners we can add to our pages. I still have yet to make my own to replace the bat.
The one thing I am waiting for to change is how notes are. It's frustrating you don't get to see the previous message in the same note. I'm sure that will be fixed/changed in time, though.
for me its the Character's feature as well as the Ignore button. Cause it actually does what its supposed to do!
the Character Feature makes it easier for me to have all the info in one neat lil submission on a specific character rather than spread out on 50 submissions and 10 journals.
tho I dont like the note system either. it makes it confusing and hard to find information to resend someone when you need it. -.-
obviously folders thru Banners are a nice touch too even if i dont see my self utilizing them anytime soon. On the other hand a major issue i have is with browsing and search, at this point there is no function it seems to change between popularity, pageview, newest or random type searches. Also Character submissions are a good thing but wish the interface would allow the feeds of both character and normal submissions to show rather then one or the other...
My favorite thing is the website's overall reliability. They're very on top of keeping up the service, as well as to their promises, when ever they announce them.
What would I want to see changed? Blocking someone, or being blocked by someone, or even filtering out their name in the preferences, stopping their submissions from appearing. It's very frustrating when I don't know that someone blocked me, and I go to favorite something, and it says they've ignored me. I've always felt as if this were a rude thing. I'd like to make it so that, if someone blocks you, or if you block someone, that it's as if their profile vanishes from your client side completely. No going back to it. For example, if you type in the URL of their page, after blocking them, or them blocking you, it simply comes back as a 404 page, or something. Until you go through your preferences and unblock someone. I also feel as if this would cut down on potential trolling. Being able to stare at someone/art you wanted to fave, but can't show any appreciation for it is like waving meat in front of a dog's nose. I follow the KISS method of things, and I find that this falls into that category.
The customization you can do it nice.
But the notification pages lack a lot of continuity. (Different buttons, a confirm for removing some but not other etc)
Also, the interface is not too tablet-friendly
I personally love the features that Weasyl has. It seems to be a combination of DA and FA but is more user friendly in my opinion. Granted I've only been on here for barely a week I love the Character feature as well as many others such as the banner. I also love being able to have my Commission Information openly displayed for users to see rather than having to point to a journal that goes "Here, this is what I'm doing for commissions at this time" and it's nice being able to link to my other galleries such as DA (Which is my main one) and FA (A somewhat less used one) on my page as well. Overall I just really enjoy the site as a whole for many reasons.
I haven't really had too many issues with the site as a whole, I personally enjoy it as it is but I can see there is room for improvement as there is with many other sites out there.
I love the gallery organization. I think the site itself is nicely designed.
Dunno what I would specifically see changed. Wish the callout thing didn't happen.
I really like the character feature, adore it! I love that the staff seems to be on top of fixing things here and listens, I like how clean it is, the overall style of the site makes things so easy to read and artwork looks great here! I LOOOVE the collections system! It's like, now they can see work that others have done for me and don't have to assume that I was the one who drew it because I'm not uploading it on my own page. ...I hope that makes sense... pretty much it drives me nuts when I want to show off some art work that I got, as well as promote the artist but they jump to the conclusion that I did it, because it's on my personal commission page and some people don't like to read. Submitting is fast and easy and I don't have to go through multiple pages or annoying tags (that tagging system on Sofurry annoys the piss outta me!) I'm sure there is a lot more, this is a pretty good site ^^
Well, I haven't noticed the noting system, but now that I do, yeah that needs fixed. I do have a habit of forgetting what people say or what I said to them, I kind of need that there. Oh and... well this is an obvious one... the traffic, unless you have a loyal fanbase, the traffic here is horrible. Not much the admins can do about that but I do hope people swing by and join in ^^
The banners are pretty high on my list! They're so cool. Least favorite would probably be the thumbnails.

I agree fully on the notes. It bugs the hell out of me too.
What I love about Weasyl is their organization and the character gallery.
