so i'm just gonna leave this here i had to submit a thing anyway. i know my voice is cringe-worthy, i probably left out some very important thingamabob, and there's 16379489 people that could make a better one but no one has yet soooo it exists for now! if nothing else it's motivation for you guys to make a better one x3 also writing up the ping group directory as we speak because it seems like no one really wants to do much of anything until someone else does something, so i guess i'm gonna start this.

Something I didn't see mentioned or maybe I missed, but I think the CW Submission categories need to be updated and broadened some to fit better price points.
Instead of everything being blocked off by price, would be nice if they blocked off by type.

Example: WIGS instead of all going under a 5000csc submission it is broken up based on what is gong on with the wig. Is it a simple basic short wig? Is it a super long wig? Does the wig have an accessory (beads, hat, etc) built into it? Each one would fall under a different price.
BODY MODS This one is where I have the biggest issue with. Someone simply adding a tail or tiny kitty ears pays the same thing as someone who is changing the body itself (turning it into a different creature).
TATTOOS I also have issues with tattoo submission. Someone submitting a tiny little tattoo pays the same as someone who may be putting in an entire sleeve tattoo.

It may be hard to do this because I know I sit there already with some things going (esp accessories) "What category does this fall in?" BUT if they did better descriptions or even a locked thread saying specifically with examples of what would fall under what I think that would help.

IDK thats just what Ive been thinking about for awhile.

I LIKE THE VIDEO!!! I think you did a good job covering the process.

I don't think it would be a bad idea to cover direct to shop in depth (mostly shopside stuff, not so much submissions) and CW shops in general (locked items, changing prices/amounts in shop, etc. etc.). I actually plan on submitting something direct to shop soon, so I don't mind covering that process + CW shops in general if you think it's something we need. I know some users on the feedback thread mentioned confusion over CW shops. O:

thank you!! <3 i was kinda thinking about that too, i have a couple things i should put onsite as well so i could make a voiceover covering like.. from the time you get the event that it's been approved, pulling an artist copy, pricing, and setting quantities and passwords. i could also move something over to my shop that isn't there yet - i've definitely heard people ask how to do that a few times. so it'd be a general CW shop tutorial but also cover some stuff on the releaser side of direct submissions. if you wanna do it, go for it (you probably have a much better radio voice than i do! cx) but i don't mind attempting either! or if you wanted to make a specific one on submitting directly, that'd be great too! i think the more voiceovers we have covering things, the better.

Don't have a ton of time to type something huge, but I did want to let you know I watched your video and it's very clear / very well done. A+

I'm fine with whatever!! If you'd rather do it, that's a-okay with me, and if you'd rather not, I'd be happy to do it!! 8) I'd probably do a quick submitting directly guide and then do the rest once that was accepted and cover CW shops then!! O:??

HEY GUYS HELP ME FIND EVERYONE'S GROUPS

Ahh, thank you so much!! I'm really glad you like it and that it makes sense. ❤️

I actually have no idea how to cut voiceovers together, so I probably couldn't do one showing the submission process AND what to do once it's accepted! If you wanna do that, I'm totally cool with it. n_n If you do, depending upon what you cover as far as CW shops, I may make another general CW shop one, but that's mostly just me trying to be overly thorough.

Okie doke!! I can put it together over the next few days, then!! :P Being thorough is definitely good, and I don't think it's a bad thing to have multiple guides to similar/the same topics anyways!!! Hopefully once we have these together we can make a thread with a bunch of general tutorials/guides/how-tos on the CW process and have it stickied on the subforum somewhere!!

ALSO THAT FORUM GROUP THREAD IS REALLY NICE!!! I like that you listed artist pings too!!! Thank you so much for being so thorough and helpful!!! ; u ;

DAT VIDEO GURL!!! Honestly, I wish stuff like this would have been around when I first started because this would have made things so much easier. It was definitely put together really well. high-fives

If anyone ever needs me to make anything/help out in any shape or form I'm totally down for that. I know sometimes putting together shops and whatnot and keeping things organized can be such a pain in the butt for people, so if you think something like that might be useful, I'm totally down for explaining stuff like that if you think it might be needed?

GURL YOUR VOICE IS MAKING ME SWOON <3 <3 <3 LOVE THE VIDEO

Oh, this is nifty! Some things I would find nifty and convenient:

• Ability if items were locked in a CW shop or not before trying to purchase it through this page.
• Ability to see the artist/releaser of an item?? I know this might be difficult bc a) off site artists and b) the artist fill in the blank obv wasn't there when this all started
• Ability to see the name before hovering over the item? Kinda extra, but something I would prefer

I really like how this is coming along, and I'm super excited to see a paginated version. I also like how fast it loads. :)

I see an item of mine on the page and when I click to purchase the item, it brings me to the buy page even though I don't have any in stock right? I don't know what happens if I actually try to purchase it bc I don't need another one haha.

[edit] Locked items seem to be doing the same thing. IDK if it's actually something someone could use to bypass items being locked or not, but worth noting.

i was wondering why suddenly there was a white margin on the left of the site LOL

i do have an issue with the view that with the theme i use. the top banner kind of overhangs and makes it a little difficult to get to the drop down kind of have to get it in juuuuust the right spot to use it

also i went to click and test the buy link on an item that was cute and seemed to have been able to buy something i don't think i should have had access to? this is something i would definitely assess because this definitely takes away user control from how they want their items on site i'm having a bit of a moral quandary now about what to do with the item...

EDIT ----- LOL FUCK it totally bypasses locked items because i just accidentally bought something that's not even listed in a shop (i mean, yeah i clicked to buy the item on purpose but i didn't realize it wasn't even displayed in the shop)

things that are locked in usershops will stay locked? So far I do not have many items in my shop, but I've always looking there will not be unlimited available. So if they are locked on my shop, they will stay locked?

Other then that - great thing!

Items that are locked or not priced, are included in this list! This should be fixed as there is no current way to remove items from the CW shops once they reached a batch limit or are retired for another reason. And I hope I don't have to explain why locked items should be excluded as well (psst remember all those tickets and the drama regarding privates? :P) Yeah, that definitely shouldn't happen and if, it should include the password prompt!

(though I didn't try if it works and you can actually buy this item, just wanted to point out those shouldn't be included as you technically shouldn't be able to purchase those) (other than that, it looks good! maybe a filter to search for keywords would be nice)

Yay! Thanks for the quick fix! I was worried it might be exploited.

I imagine they will be added back once the database is complete? O: I definitely still want to see things, even if they're locked or completely unavailable. :P

Yay!!! Super excited about to see this come to life! ✨✨

Hover doesn't work correctly. If you choose one category and hover over some things and then choose another, it doesn't trigger the right item, but the one in the same position you hovered over before.

Example: I was first in Neck and hovered over . Then I changed to Hat and it still shows me the Strings even if it should show the
