hello friends it is time to be informed about your iso

FIRST THINGS FIRST as you may have noticed I have been very... not active. Like I've mentioned before I think in some bulletin or another, an old friend group of mine got together so a lot of my time I'd spend browsing here or other websites is now spend chatting with friends and maintaining RP activity. Also doesn't help that I've been unexpectedly busy with school stuff this semester, have life stuff on top of that (getting kicked out on August 1st so I need to have my entire life put together by then oops,) and keep sleeping in until like 3 PM every day.

Toyhouse isn't the only site I've been neglecting - you should see my poor dA notifications - but it's probably the one I feel the worst about neglecting since I dig people's OCs and I used to try and be a relatively active member of the community!! Now I pretty much just check in to see if people who owe me things have PM'd me about them yet or not and if there are any urgent bulletins I should check out... I haven't even been bumping my trade/resale thread or the Generator Freebie Bin! I still have so much stuff I need to read and get back to people about, both profiles and writing things and it's like aaaaAAAAaaaaAaAAAaa ya feel me!!!!!!

So on that note, the next thing! The Toyhouse update!

With respect to images, I'll be going through and editing my multi-character images soon, probably, maybe... I might just do it as I update peoples' profiles or visit them for whatever reason. Doing it all at once sounds kinda painful because getting images to have thumbnails w/o watermarks on them while still having the full image be watermarked requires a lot of finagling and I'm wayyyyy too lazy to do that with dozens of images right now.

As for update notifications, I'll be making use of those! BUT I'll still be making bulletins, posting new/updated people in the proper threads, so on and so forth for visibility's sake. As for update notifs for other people, I've gone through and disabled image notifications for everyone I follow. I really want to still see images, but so many get uploaded on a regular basis that my character notifications shoot up to the hundreds within a day and I never end up actually checking anything. So, I'm hoping that with this I'll finally start actually looking at my character notifications since I'll just be seeing newly-uploaded characters and updates!

I think that's pretty much everything! Still hoping to crank out some character profiles at some point, but I dunno. I've been super occupied and I'm not really confident that's going to change, and I might end up deleting all of my backlog instead of trying to play catch-up. Everything's just a big I Dunno in life right now so not making any promises about anything, but I'd really like to be more active!!

What do you guys think about the new update? Any OCs you want to see posted here or completed first?? Just want to talk about your favorite fruit??? follow your heart

also it's my birthday on april 10th which is fucked up im too old someone make time stop pls i need more time to make oc profiles

honestly i FEEL U about the images!! i draw so many group pics that going thru all of them and redoing the thumbnails isnt feasible... i mean i stopped sorting images cause it ended up being an extra two clicks, i aint gonna spend time on carefully picking out thumbnails for 7+ characters in a single image SOB

wait whatty? update notifications?? looks like i missed an announcement!

YEAH toyhouse is incredibly bad at announcements and talking abt its new features... the notify subscribers thingy wasn't actually even In the announcement when i checked just now to link it! here's a thread someone made describing it instead though!!: https://toyhou.se/~forums/11.general/61076.toyhouse-update-notify-subscribers-button

th admins pls make changelogs of things so we can actually use your cool new features.........

ooh NICE, i'm definitely gonna make use of this sometimes. probably when i make Big Updates like "this character has an actual profile now, whereas before they only had two lines of snarky text"
