I went and saw Red Dawn last night, and it was amazing! O___O They did an excellent job of making you feel as if your part of
It was a pretty awesome! I had my My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic cake and got some pony toys too! ^^ My sister got me a huge 12 pony set with lots of pony accessories, and :iconjennidash: got me a Glow-in-the-dark brushable Zecora! 
Personally, I think we're perfect for each other 
He doesn't find me creepy at all, he doesn't mind me being a tomboy (I almost look like a guy now haha) and he's totally cool with it. I mean, most guys would be freaked out by how I look/act. Most guys dream about a feminine girly girl. Not me! 
NEW INFORMATION!
Mozilla Firefox 
IE Internet Explorer 
Recently we have come across a couple of cases where founders could not see most of the settings in the manage members area. Resetting did not help.
It turned out that both these founders were using older versions of IE Internet Explorer - as soon as these founders either upgraded to IE9 or used another browser such as Firefox, they could see the settings!
PLEASE CHECK IF IT IS YOUR BROWSER WHICH IS CAUSING PROBLEMS WITH YOUR SETTINGS - Firefox seems to be the best browser to use with DA. Chrome and IE9 also work.
Let us know if you find any other browsers which cause problems with your settings please.
Q:
What do these admin permissions mean?:
- Have Full Control
- Can Add/Edit/Delete Most Content
- Can Edit Some Content
A:
Have full control = Can do everything in that section (eg: home)
Can add/edit/delete most content = CANNOT alter PERMISSIONS in that section (eg: manage members)
Can edit some content = CANNOT alter PERMISSIONS and CANNOT ADD OR REMOVE WIDGETS in that section, but can edit the current widgets in that section (eg: about us)
Can only view = Can see but not edit or alter anything
Cannot view = Cannot see anything
HOW TO USE THE PERMISSIONS - TUTORIAL
When trying to manage permissions for a particular level of membership (eg: members or contributors or co-founders or 'any deviant' which is non-members) remember you MUST first select that 'people set' in your MANAGE MEMBERS control panel:
to do this....
click ADMIN AREA
click MANAGE MEMBERS
on the left hand side click MEMBERS (or the level of membership you want to manage)
on the right hand side SCROLL through the different permissions and look at them first
Each of these permissions will manage a different ability for the people set you are editing
The permissions which can be changed are:
ON HOME (the page this permission will affect)
JOIN REQUESTS (this allows people ONLY to join THE LEVEL OF MEMBERSHIP SELECTED) (eg: members)
NB: ONLY open join requests for MEMBERS but not for other people sets or you will have people applying to be co-founder and contributors etc - those positions should be by invitation only. However MEMBERS should have their join permissions automatically approved as there is no reason to check them ... you want all members (they can be booted or blocked later if they are rowdy)
ON ABOUT US (the page this permission will affect)
This affects the ability for ADMIN PEOPLE ONLY to add a description next to their name in ABOUT US
This permission can be turned on or off for any of the admins eg: founder / co-founder / contributor. If you want all the admins to be able to write descriptions, choose EDIT (some or most content or one of those choices) if you want one people set NOT to write descriptions (eg: contributors) then choose a non-edit permission (like can view, or cannot view) AND goto the ABOUT US page and edit the WIDGET (click the small pencil next to the top of the widget) and turn OFF the contributors so they won't show on ABOUT US.
ON GALLERY (the page this permission will affect)
This affects the ability for THE LEVEL OF MEMBERSHIP SELECTED) (eg: members) to submit stuff to the gallery
PLEASE NOTE: there are TWO important things to remember about the gallery...
1. SUBMISSIONS TO FEATURED
FEATURED can either be used as the entire gallery with no further folders OR it can be used as a SPECIAL folder to show the best works. If you are having it as a special folder, I suggest you turn OFF permissions for members and contributors to submit to it, and have only founders and co-founders adding COPIES of the best works to it (founders and co-founders should always have full control of all permissions to enable them to manage the group properly)
2. SHOW ALL FOLDERS
In the FOLDERS area, you will see the permissions for any EXTRA FOLDERS you have added to the gallery...** (add them the same as you would in your own personal gallery by clicking new folder and naming it. To change the positions of the folders, just drag them and drop them ON TOP of the one you want to swap places with (it's a bit different than personal accounts in this respect).
In the folder permissions I suggest you set ALL folders to ARE SUBJECT TO VOTE and VOTES NEEDED (1 or 2 or 3 depending on how many admin people will have a say in approvals) - this way you can appprove or deny pics that suit (or don't suit) your gallery standards.
3. GALLERY SUBMISSION LIMITS
This is a new feature so I will describe it as I understand it (which hopefully is correct - please let me know if I got it all wrong!)
There are a couple of ways to use the submissions limits:
1. If you ONLY have a FEATURED folder then set it as follows:
Submissions to Featured = Are subject to vote (1 vote) -OR- Are automatically approved
Global Submission Limit = Unlimited (or a number) deviations per (day/week/month/year)
This means any MEMBER can submit (X) number of deviations per (Y) time period into FEATURED
2a. If you have NUMEROUS GALLERY FOLDERS as well as FEATURED folder then set it as follows:You want people to be able to submit to the gallery folders BUT NOT FEATURED then....
Submissions to FEATURED = Are Not Allowed
(FEATURED) Global Submission Limit = Unlimited (or a number) deviations per (day/week/month/year)
Submissions to EACH GALLERY FOLDER = Are subject to vote (1 vote) -OR- Are automatically approved
(GALLERY FOLDERS) Global Submission Limit = GLOBAL deviations per (day/week/month/year)
This means any MEMBER can submit (X) number of deviations per (Y) time period into GALLERY FOLDERS BUT NOT FEATURED.
2b. If you have NUMEROUS GALLERY FOLDERS as well as FEATURED folder then set it as follows:
Submissions to FEATURED = Unlimited (or a number) deviations per (day/week/month/year)
(FEATURED) Global Submission Limit = Unlimited (or a number) deviations per (day/week/month/year)
Submissions to EACH GALLERY FOLDER = Are subject to vote (1 vote) -OR- Are automatically approved
(GALLERY FOLDERS) Global Submission Limit = GLOBAL deviations per (day/week/month/year)
This means any MEMBER can submit (X) number of deviations per (Y) time period into GALLERY FOLDERS AND ALSO FEATURED.
Clear as mud hey?
ON FAVES (the page this permission will affect)
FAVES is set up pretty much the same as GALLERY permission-wise so refer to gallery on how to change the permissions. The difference between faves and gallery is:
on GALLERY, all members and watchers will get a message in their INBOX when new art is added
on FAVES, no-one will be notified that a fave was made (original artists are not notified either when you fave their work, so that's different than on personal accounts)
ON BLOG (the page this permission will affect)
This enables selected peopple to write a BLOG (like a journal) - all members and watchers will receive a copy of it in their inbox so try and keep it limited to people who will not abuse it with non-group related stuff.
ON ADMIN AREA (the page this permission will affect)
This is a special portal where all ADMIN people can come to see what is going on in the group. You can have a private forum (chatting in threads which only admin people can see, and which all admin people will receive in their inbox when a new thread or message is added). You can make annoucncements and check group notes, check group activity etc. You can add extra widgets using EDIT PAGE on this page and set it up to suit yourselves. This is why you need to set the permissions so only founder / co-founder can edit everything, but other admins can view or 'edit some content' so they can comment on the forums.
ON MANAGE MEMBERS (the page this permission will affect)
This is where all the permissions are held.
be sure to SELECT THE LEVEL OF MEMBERSHIP YOU WANT TO EDIT ON THE LEFT before you change permissions, so you know WHOSE permissions you are editing.
CONFIGURING YOUR AFFILIATE-RELATED PERMISSIONS
Since the new Affiliate system came in we have more permissions to deal with (sarcastic yay!)
Here is what you need to do to get your affiliate permissions working properly:
Goto ADMIN AREA
Goto MANAGE MEMBERS
Starting at the bottom and working up....
Click ANY DEVIANT -
Incoming Affiliation Requests / Are subject to vote (1 vote)
Click ANY MEMBER OF AFFILIATES -
Incoming Affiliation Requests / Are subject to vote (1 vote)
Click MEMBERS -
Incoming Affiliation Requests / Are subject to vote (1 vote)
Click ANY ADMINISTRATOR -
Incoming Affiliation Requests / Are subject to vote (1 vote)
Outgoing Affiliation Requests / Are Not Allowed
Click CONTRIBUTORS -
Incoming Affiliation Requests / Are subject to vote (1 vote)
Outgoing Affiliation Requests / Are Not Allowed
Click CO-FOUNDERS -
Incoming Affiliation Requests / Are Automatically Approved
Outgoing Affiliation Requests / Are Automatically Approved
Click FOUNDER - (This should already be set up by default to auto-approved)
Incoming Affiliation Requests / Are Automatically Approved
Outgoing Affiliation Requests / Are Automatically Approved
DON'T FORGET TO SAVE YOUR PERMISSIONS AS YOU GO!
What this all basically means is ALL Deviants including Members, Non-Members, Affiliate Members, Admins etc CAN send an incoming request (1 vote needed to accept it)
BUT ONLY FOUNDER / CO-FOUNDER can send and OUTGOING affiliate request (auto approved by the group)
This way your Founder and Co-Founders will be able to invite only affiliates who they choose and who suit the group theme. If you want, you can auto-approve the Contributor permissions too. Only admins can sent out-going requests (not members).
If you have any permissions problems, just contact `Tetsuk0 and I will do my best to help you out.
