Rules

This is an important announcement about a site rule clarification.
Linking to fundraising sites, donation sites, Paypal, etc. and/or otherwise asking or implying a request for monetary donations is not allowed on Aywas, as part of our Terms of Service. We've noticed a number of these types of threads pop up recently.
In addition, offering things in exchange for "donations" is not allowed. If you are in a bind and in need of USD, we advise making a sales thread to sell your art for RL$* and follow Aywas sales rules (See: Sales and Breeding Rules in the TOS). Offering pet PSD colorings or other Aywas items for RL$ "donations" is technically selling those items for RL$ which is against the TOS (See: Sales and Breeding Rules and USD Sales and Cross-Site Trading in the TOS).
No fundraising in RL$ is allowed, unless it is on behalf of an official 501 (c)(3) charity where the money goes directly to the organization, or with prior arrangement with the Aywas site owner and Aywas administration.
If you have a post/thread that breaks these rules, we expect you to remove the links and rephrase the post (if need be), or remove the entire post immediately following this news post.
All of the above is covered in the Site Rules section of the TOS:
"- not solicit any asset - whether points, pets, items - from any user without offering proper pay (begging)"
We felt the need to clarify that the above TOS rule does not only apply to site assets, and does in fact also apply to IRL assets also.
* Note: RL$ = Real Life Currencies or anything that can be exchanged for Real Life Currencies such as gift cards, etc.
Thank you for your cooperation!

Item Gallery Fixes
Site Update

Just a quick update about Item Galleries to inform you that the default category now works properly and so does sizing, so feel free to upgrade to whatever size you like! :3
We'll be looking into adding more sorting options in addition to the other things I originally outlined (like quickstock) and will be addressing HTML/CSS issues.
Thanks for working with us on this! I think Nova's done a pretty stellar job for his first project on Aywas!

Item Gallery Expansion
Site Update

We've made some adjustments to the Item Gallery based on your feedback!
- Default viewing your own gallery now shows Unsorted items and a new link for All Items has been added.
- You can now move items into your gallery directly from the Deposit Box.
- The size cap has been removed, but still needs to be tweaked. Go over size 19/20 at your own risk! I'll let you know when it's adjusted.
- You can now set a Default category for other people to automatically view when they click on on your gallery... but it doesn't seem to be working yet. Getting this fixed!
- Oh, and slots now apply to item type instead of item count. So if you have 1000 Apple Coconuts and want to show the world your lovely collection, you can do so with 1 slot. If you want to display 50 different potions, you'll need 50 slots.
Therefore, if you went crazy on the slots and bought too much space and REALLY don't think you'll use it and thus want to be sized down and refunded, I can possibly alter this manually for you. PM me and I'll see what I can do, but pretty please with sugar on top, only do this if you don't plan on using the space. <3 ;.; Get your message to me by Sunday night (April 7th), por favor!
