I don't know who is the genius behind this idea, but the only thing that this adds to my dA experience is cluttering my message center more and more.
I don't need to have all the news articles submitted by my all the people on my watch list appear in my message center! at least i should have the option to disable this if i wanted to!

Journals and news articles are separate things, this will not only be a great discomfort for people with a large number of deviants on thier watch list but will also add an extra load to the servers.

I don't like this idea and i don't like the fact that its been forced on me without even the option to disable it.

:thumbsdown:

Hmmm, I like the idea of having news in my msg centre since I wouldn't check them, or even know about them otherwise, but I agree that it should be optional.

I don't see why the option to enable journals & news articles should not be separated, expect that the programmer doesn't know how to do it yet :shrug:

I agree, I don't like it at all.
I already get the news come to me. Its a pain in the arse getting spammed by more news. I have "kids" who I watch ( great artists don't get me wrong :D ) Who although very talented artists. Ted to write stupid news articles all the time. So I'm getting shit loads of stupid news things which I don't want. There is already a big problem with Lagg on DA for a lot of people. Wouldn't adding more things to message center just add to the problem.
If there a way to untick it or something ( like journals polls dev's etc ) then it would be fine. But not having a choice in the matter.. :no:

some aspects I like about it, soem I don't. I often forget to check news articles which I do want to keep up with, so assuming that friends of mine woudl have similar interests, hopefully anything in my inbox would be something of interest...Then again, sometimes not. Having a disable feature is a good idea though

Why not? I would love to give my support to a friend if one would ever make an article. I find it really helpful :nod:.

I'm with you about having this feature set as optional rather than forced. Sometimes I've only got five minute to check stuff and I don't want to waste time getting rid of news articles and hot topics. Most of the time I don't read them and don't really give a rat's ass about what they contain.

Personally, I don't mind it. However, that comes from someone who really supports this news system.

I can see where it would be useful to have an option to disable it, although it wouldn't be something I'd use personally.

By the way, did you realise you posted this three times? :slow:

I support the news too.. But I already have it come to me. I dont need it sent to me twice.

I agree that there should be some way of disabling it without having to disable journals all together, but I think we should see how this all plays out. I currently watch a lot of people (600 maybe?) and I've only received one notification every 12 hours or so. I just hope that people don't use this as a form of communication between them and their watchers, and use the news system for what it's supposed to be used for.

Unlike this post... which I believe needs to be in your journal or in the complaints forum.
