no, that's much sillier!or, the conservative Leadership election
Hey, DeviantArt has had a makeover.
A bit baffling at first, at least to this technophobe -
I fairly soon worked out how to find and do most of what I wanted,
but there are some features of the old site that I can't find so far.
One tip - if you've managed to log in and find you're totally lost,
click on 'Eclipse' on the top bar, it takes you back to the old-style site.
Oh, it's a whole new look, black background (like here, you can change the theme to white),
new stylish fonts, everything rearranged and not all that easy to find!

"Eclipse" referred to a "Java development container", but it's old. Maybe they've upgraded the software they use to maintain the site.Hey, DeviantArt has had a makeover.

Eclipse is a major re-design.. it’s made a lot of DA users furious, and many are threatening to flounce off if the “old” DA is pulled down. I quite like the new look, though they seem to have stripped out a few features that I’ll definitely miss. On the other hand, it’s still a work in progress so who knows. Anyway like @Barbaria1 I’m on mobile (unlike her I don’t even have a laptop that works).. so I can’t see eclipse anyway, for the momentHey, DeviantArt has had a makeover.

Although I had a peek, using a friend’s computer.. my work looks SEXY A.F. in Eclipse!! Way better than the old soviet grey-green they had before...Ahhh ... just as I expected
Yeah found that one....shame it doesn't accept new members.Also you could try the “Cruxinart” group on deviantart, you’ll find lots of good stuff there including many names you will recognise:

I can appreciate the view of those with extensive experience on DevArt, but I must say, I've never spent much time there. Perhaps I'm an old fart (not perhaps, I am an old fart) or a Luddite, but I have never been anything but frustrated there (and not sexually). I have found the user interface opaque with no help or explanation. I spend about 15 minutes each time getting lost, sent down blind alleys and generally unable to find anything. Each new time I go, its back to square one with no idea how to look for something.everything rearranged and not all that easy to find!

Is the new format anymore user friendly?
I guess any site takes a bit of getting used to.. I personally find DA both easy to navigate and a delight to visit, though I know @Eulalia is always moaning about how difficult it is. If I can help with any specific problems, just ask, otherwise I’d just encourage you to explore and enjoy the art, and pretty soon you’ll be swinging through the galleries like TarzanEach new time I go, its back to square one with no idea how to look for something.

Agree, I also send a join request but group is not active, wanted to share some of my pics, then post them with commentsYeah found that one....shame it doesn't accept new members.
I believe 'Cruxinart' is active - Ramon requested some of my pictures for the group a couple of weeks ago.Agree, I also send a join request but group is not active, wanted to share some of my pics, then post them with comments
