Lately we celebrated Deviant Art's 15th birthday.All of us got a well done

advertising message how fine everything around DA is.The core members

(formerly known as premium members) got a (ugly) red sign besides their

name.But this is finally a question of taste.
As well as they notice us about every little and mostly unwanted change of

DA's interface, there was no word about this change. No notice, no journal,

nothing.While renaming the membership they raised the price for one year

from 2400 points to 4000 points(50USD).I know they kept the old price for a

long time but it is definitely wrong to do it this way.Communication is

what keeps a community strong.This behaviour is like firing someone while

he is on vacation.
What's up with DA's staff to do such things without explanation? It is not

really expensive, but maybe to expensive for a lot of our young DA

members.Although the difference between free membership and core membership

is to small to keep the offer attractive.It is more a kind of donation.But

most people don't wanna be forced to donate.I can't believe this tactic

will be successfull.
I heard some rumours that DA is in need to get more money because the

rebranding and the servers cost a lot, and that they fired half of the

staff without telling them why.Next fail in communication.Once again:

What's up here?
You cannot run a big community like Da and ignore what the members want.It

will have a bad end sooner or later.
I don't think Da will care abou this, but i don't wanna give up hope.

By the way:We have no community volunteer for customization since months.
          We cannot upload exe files since years.
          We lost our beloved webcam.
          We got a new branding which needs a very long explanation to    

      tell what it is.
          We got some more annoying changes noone needs.

Help to wake up DA's staff before it is to late.

If you repost this in your group, the avatar of your group will be shown on

this journal.Let's stand together to get some changes to avoid DA from

dying.Bring back the spirit of the good old days of DA.

No access to emoticons while you are logged in. This means you cannot use them, because you have to be logged in to comment. Great.:thumbsup:
This only happens to premium members who are in beta tester state.This can happen while things are in beta stage.But it shouldn't take so long to fix it.
Much more important: The back and forward button for a deviant's gallery is gone. Probably this happens because they try to implement mostly useless new features to DA. PLEASE stop this and fix the servers first. " An error occured while displaying this deviation" That's what has to to be worked on.:(

I'm pretty sure, i'm not the only one who faces these problems.
The second issue  seems to affect all users, not only premium members.
