Description Too many images from groups in your inbox?

Flooded into next Tuesday?

This may help.

What is the point of a tutorial on unwatching the deviations of a group?

Not everyone can handle a lot of deviations in their inboxes.

Some people prefer to look at group galleries at their own pace.

A lot of people are in more than one group.

Not all groups regulate their submissions as strictly as #UnseenArtists , which can really add up if you're in a lot of groups.

i get around 150-300 images a day :]]
i am tempted to unwatch some groups, but i prefer not to. because you never know when you stumble upon a great photograph or drawing. so i prefer to patiently browse through all of them and fave what i like

I do it with a few groups that have a lot of members but don't have submission or quality controls and some of the groups that get the same submissions as another I'm in. It makes it a bit easier to focus on other, smaller groups and avoid seeing doubles.

Hah guys, I`m on more than 500 groups XD
I watch as memever all of this, but I unwatch particulary all for deviations. I love to watch only best of the best for me - groups with rare interests or fanclubs x3

I admit I'm tempted to unwatch groups when I'm flooded, but then I see an AWESOME picture which makes me think, "Dang, art this good is practically what I joined dA for..." and so I keep it 'cause if I were to drown, I'd go down in awesomeness.

Yeah, I'm kinda like that too. Especially since, unlike some people, I'm not on dA every couple of days. I might get on once a week or so.

So I end up with like WHOA deviations. But the art I find is good, so what do I do?

This tutorial is a real lifesaver! As much as I want to view and comment on all of the pictures that're in my message centre, I get overwhemled by the sheer number of all the submissions, as some groups submit up to 20 deviations daily! Didn't know you could do all that with the arrow in the corner...

This is gonna seem corny, but I'm gonna fave this, becouse I find this tutorial that useful!

I would rather check my group's gallery in my own pace & time usually every month..

thanks

stevensevert In reply to TwinEnigma [2010-02-03 13:22:13 +0000 UTC]

lol, I would imagine that would become frustrating. It would be cool if all deviations were automatically sorted by group, even if you click the messages link rather than the deviations one. That might make it easier to keep track and temporarily ignore the ones you don't want to see at the moment. Sometimes I do just sign on for a quick peek at the people I follow, and don't like going through other stuff to get to it.

Thank you so much for this! I've been flooded for the fast month with groups and was considering quitting.

TwinEnigma In reply to aisemicr [2010-02-03 00:06:41 +0000 UTC]

No prob.

Just keep the journals for UnseenArtists watched, so you still get access to monthly features and updates.

Sometimes, I feel like dA's 'thumbnail view' option is more of a curse than a blessing, so I'm hoping this helps.

LukkiStarr [2010-02-02 19:08:27 +0000 UTC]

Huh, I didn't even notice that little dropdown arrow there...

But even then, I keep the submissions in my inbox until I've looked at them, though I admit deleting those with a thumbnail that doesn't get my attention... Which still leaves a big pile of submissions for me to check.

As I see it, I 'block' them temporarily, so I can check them on weekends (for me)

Neenya [2010-02-02 17:45:20 +0000 UTC]

Umm, I don't see the point. Why would I Watch anyone or join any group if I didn't wanted to see deviations? Inbox is the best way to see deviations I want to see.

TwinEnigma In reply to Neenya [2010-02-02 17:50:07 +0000 UTC]

Sometimes people like to look at galleries or groups on their own pace, or their connection can't handle a massive load of images in their inbox.

That's the point.

I do this with a few groups that don't limit their submissions, though I tend to check in on their galleries later on in the week.

And then sometimes other groups they have don't limit their submissions, so they just get buried.
