We apologize for the downtime you experienced today. It would seem some Christmas elves got into the hardware and made a right mess of things.
In truth it was some unexpected maintenance downtime as we added two new load balancers to help handle growing traffic.
We have done a bit of tweaking and some upgrades to the recently fantastic upgrades to galleries and gallery folders. Don't want to use the standard three image thumbnail compilation? No problem. Want the choice between a text only or image only icons for the sidebar? No sweat.
We've got some exciting news regarding your Galleries today, check out the short video in this article for a demo of the new features and some hilarity!
Film as a word conjures up something special. A unique feeling. Almost a different texture than words like movie or video. When someone asks you to go see a movie on the weekend you think, “Oh cool, that’ll be fun,” but if someone asks you to go to a film festival the feeling you get is entirely different...
Quite often we receive the suggestion from users that we should offer an automatic renewal option as part of the deviantART subscription service. Reasons for this particular request are numerous and range from deviants not always remembering to renew their subscription before it expires to deviants not wanting to experience service interruptions and desiring a more automated process.
Based on these requests, we're happy to announce that we have launched a new "Automatic Subscription Renewals" feature.

Gallery v2 In review:
Featured Gallery, Everything Gallery, and Category Drop-Down
By default your Gallery will now default to the "Featured Gallery". This is where you can present the art works that best define your Gallery. The "Everything Gallery" shows off every deviation you have ever submitted. And the NEW Category Drop-down Menu displays only categories and sub-categories of deviantART that are relevant to your work!
Gallery Folders
Organize your art and your gallery based on your own categories, styles, groupings, etc. etc.. When you enter edit mode by clicking on the blue "edit" button in your gallery, you have full control over your gallery and creating new folders. Create and title new folders by clicking on the blue "new folder" button on the left side of your gallery.
Drag and Drop Deviations
You can now rearrange the order of your featured gallery by dragging and dropping your deviations into whichever order you would like them in. Additionally, you can drag your deviations right into your newly created folders. The folder icons get automagically generated based on the deviations inside of them. You can also move deviations into a folder by clicking on the blue drop-down menu underneath a deviation and selecting the appropriate spot.
Folder/Gallery Descriptions
You can share information about a specific folder by clicking on the blue "options" button in that folder. These descriptions appear in the top header of that folder.
We have worked really hard to make these new gallery options available to you and we hope you like them. I would like to extend props to $pachunka, $Morris88 and $jekor for making the magic happen.
We hope you enjoy these new features and we all looking forward to seeing what you do with your new Gallery!!
will there be an added sorting feature, like we currently have when putting things into and taking them out of storage.. you know the little check box and a mass action drop down menu or something?
I want to check out the new galleries, but you have forced me to upgrade Safari! Damn you, dA! lol
Once it's done, I'll go play around with it.
-- There's a book that says the world was created in 7 days; heard it was a best seller. Anyway, goes to show you, you shouldn't believe what you read in books
I want whatever they're having. XD It looks like fun. XD

Now my over-organization self to work in my gallery, and it keep neat and tidy. ^_^

Okay, I giggled. Great video, guys. I tried out the folders after watching, and they were very easy to do. I really like galley 2.0--nothing superfluous, all very useful, practical changes. One of dA's best updates yet!
Man, I've barely had any activity on the site for a week and I'm suddenly a total fangirl again.

Critiquing someone's prose or poetry is an awesome thing to do. The supremely awesome Mimesis 3 is available now!
