Hello Catherine,

I'm contacting the moderator to see why they removed the author during the moderator process. Feel free to edit the content, and add the author back in the meantime. I'll reply again once I know more.

What do you want erased?

Hey JerseyGirl😃

Yeah, we should have infinite scroll (continuous viewing) in most places by default now if its a page for viewing a set of images.

We will still be making little changes/improvements but most of the major changes in regard to this should be done now.

anime21,

You should be able to re-add yourself as the author if that's the case.

I personally really enjoy things like this, and have a couple from this set myself, and can attest to how amazing they are😃

Nuyube,

Sorry for the late reply. I'm not seeing notifications about new posts in Community Abyss very well.

As long as it doesn't infringe on anyone's copyright, you're more than welcome to link to any stores/products related to your work.

I'm glad that helped🙂If your mouse has a center button/scroll wheel, clicking down on it when your mouse cursor is on a thumbnail should open that wallpaper page in a new tab. That's normally how I do things🙂

Hey everyone!

I mentioned this in a reply to the tag rules post, but I also wanted to make a dedicated post.

We are no longer going to allow tags that are duplicates of sub category.

Additionally, we are going to retroactively remove ALL tags that are duplicates of the subcategory.

As an example. If I submit content to Animal - Cat, both the tags animal and cat would be automatically removed from the content.

 

 

Why the change?

In the end, having identical sub categories and tags creates pages with very similar content. It can actually make it harder for people to find new wallpapers.

Hey everyone!

I've made another update to the tag rules

We're working on having less redundant duplication across the site. For this reason, please no longer submit tags that are identical to the subcategory you are submitting content into.

In general, you'll also see moderators being a little more strict about removing tags if they aren't a prominent part of the image.

Hi JerseyGirl!

Yeah, it's a downside of the new default approach. But you do have a couple of options!

1. You can still use the paged view. In sorting options, just choose pagination.

2. When heading to a wallpaper, you can always open it in a new tab (right click instead of left click on the image), interact with the wallpaper in the new tab, close the tab, and you're right where you left off.

 

Also a note to everyone else - infinite scroll as the default is live everywhere on Wallpaper Abyss!

Hey everyone!

A bit of sad news - we're going to retire Cover Abyss.

It's always good to experiment with what types of content our community wants to consume; especially if it's images. In the end, Cover Abyss hasn't really been a source of community for the sites, or a great place to first find a new image. It's been great for someone searching specifically for a Facebook Cover/Twitter Header, but really only things like that.

The message of Cover Abyss has also conflicted a bit with the 'Personal private use only' that most of our images have. 

If you're worried about Avatar Abyss - don't be. That's a lot more personal, the community around it is a lot more active, and while the 'private' part of it is a little sus (😅), we think it will pretty much always be a good fit for the community here.

Thanks everyone. Let me know if you have any questions!
