dA is the widest and most popular Cyber Gallery.
dA is the best place to expoze your creations, to get recognition, to discover other's art. And for many other reasons you may be happy to be a Deviant.
Therefore dA have bugs...

strange, peculiar, or unusual in an interesting, pleasing, or amusing wayThis article will provide you with just that; the quaintly pieces of deviantART. Here is a list of interesting and unusual things that you can find and do here on deviantART. Some of them are known well, whilst others are not, but all of them one would consider... quaintly.
Here are two very handy but widely unknown quick links which can be used throughout the site. A number of these already exist and for a full list read Edition 01. For another two additions to the list, simply use::devhelp: = Help Desk

One of deviantART's features is the ability to see how many pageviews each deviant has received over their time on deviantART. However, two deviants in particular have always have some interesting statistics on their page:$chris - A programmer of deviantART who up until recently had over 2,000,000,000 pageviews. Currently, he has none. Also note he first signed up for deviantART in 1982.
+silvein - Also a programmer of deviantART and his pageviews are currently under -2,000,000,000.
Up until deviantART first introduced dAmn, the community Shoutbox was an enormous part of deviantART's communication. Then, with the introduction of v5, the number of Shoutbox posts was removed from each page. These days activity is rather limited, however it still remains as a significant part of deviantART's history.
You've been able to search for deviations on deviantART for quite a long time, longer if you've been a subscriber in the past. However, with the introduction of v5, you can now search in other areas, including:deviantART has also introduced a new feature when logged out (or rocked out as its been labeled) where by you can do a Google search limiting the results to www.deviantart.com.Journals on the Today page.
Articles on the News page.
Threads on the Forum page.
Edition 01 showed you how to link to your latest deviation with ease. Another useful URL allows you to quickly link yourself to your deviantART page, simply using the following:http://me.deviantart.comCould be quite useful if you have a rather long username but more just something worth knowing.
Before the introduction of v5, a few privileged members were aware of the Secret Forums. These days they no longer exist however an old area of the Forums has been forgotten. The Gallery Forums can be access on the Forum page, although the are tucked away in the drop down menu. These once thriving threads appear empty, but still an area worth investigating.
Don't you just hate it when you try to link someone to a website or ask people to copy and paste a piece of code but deviantART turns your links into [link]? You could overcoming this by using the <code> tag which can be both ugly and confusing, instead why not try the following::link:http://www.website.com: = http://www.website.com
Did you know that deviantART's servers are named after famous artists? Some of the most inspirational, talented and influential artists of both past and modern times have servers named after them, including anything from Picasso to Kare. Unfortunately a full list of names cannot be obtained due to deviantART's policy.
