Again, this is something we're aware of and trying to figure out how best (and where) to include this stuff so you can dip in and out of it globally.

Could maybe have content rating preferences available via account settings as a default, and then temporary toggles via the different listings, for that particular browsing session? Maybe just a simple SFW/NSWF toggle via account settings, and more detailed ones on lists.

Well, it was obviously designed for a bit different purposes but yeah, that's pretty close, can work for now. Thanks for the tip. I only wish it had its cover or even previews of included entries displayed right in my profile.
You're welcome, glad that I could help! ;-)

Hopefully playlist integration on profile pages can be expanded upon in future, with preview thumbnails akin to DeviantArt's Gallery folders or something similar. :-3

Seems that might be on the do list too. :) Tom wrote a bit about this earlier: https://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1436757/15#bbspost26261282_post_text

Thinking that sounds like a good idea if the alternative view does come around! Still prefer the classic Portal layout over the newer Games/Movies grids for example, and I think it's from a functional standpoint rather than just a nostalgic one. Easier overviews have their advantages. Wish you could skim through all submissions in list mode too.

Oh yeah, I read that post earlier. Thank you anyway, though! ^_^

I'm looking forward to seeing how playlists will develop over time. :-)

Yeah me too. :) Seems like it might be usable for pretty much anything! Hope there'll be an easier way to make a list too, not only adding things one thing at a time.

Seconding the desire for mass editing options. :-3

Being able to scroll on twitter would be extra cool.

That would be a big step. It has been around since the early days.

A blog concept could be a good way to go.

Please excuse me for being late to the party, but I do have one question. Is there a way to search for artists that are open for commissions? It's been sometime since I even came back to Newgrounds, and I am on the hunt to throw some money at artists to get some art done. Though most of my favorites don't even have the commission thing turned on yet.

The commission search is upcoming. Right now liljim is overhauling tag system to break it out of the portals so tags can be used in blog posts and anything else that comes up. Also adding things like tag auto-suggest in the process.

That sounds awesome. :) Going to be interesting to see how it all works when it does.

I'm certainly open for commissions and collaborations.

It make sense what you figure it all out.

Hello peeps!


I tried the new feature for enabling "commissions open" status, to be prepared for this next days, but the entry I did for commission information is not listed in the possible choices I can use for it, only one entry I did for informing stuff in the beggining of the year. Seems like a bug, because the entry that appears doesn't even have the title "Commission", but the entry I just did has it, yet is not detected.


The entry that I would like to choose is this one:

https://darkshadow777.newgrounds.com/news/post/1037229


Also, I have a small request, is it possible to disable this when you are not taking commissions? I normally do this when I am on holidays, so people knows I'm not working until I return to business, if it's possible currently, how do you do it?


Thanks a bunch! Cya!

For whatever reason, it doesn't look as though that entry is indexed. Which is baffling... can you try making a minor edit to it and saving and then trying again?

You should be able to close the entry when you're away and then reopen it when you get back already. :)

Thank you so much!!! <3

I also recommend reading the Newgrounds History to better understand the site.

At the moment we're wrapping up a big forum update but we're also knocking out small items to better support incoming artists.

Open for Commissions

If you visit your user page you will notice a new "Open for Commissions?" link under your icon and short description.

Clicking this link will present you with a list of commission-related blog posts you've made, so that you can link one as your official commission sheet.

When enabled, visitors to your page will see an "Open for Commissions!" link.

There are lots of little things that could be done in this space but we're trying to not to over-think it at the moment. Let us know if you run into problems / confusion / bugs with how the new system works.

We'll soon generate a list anyone can browse to see who is open for commission.

Other pending updates will help in this space, too. For example right now you can't make a blog post via mobile (sorry, old text editor) but that will be fixed in the near future.

When we migrate Art publishing into the Project System, we'll introduce co-authoring and the ability for both commissioner and artist to share credit on a piece.

We'll also likely add an "Open for Collaboration" link if you have an entry in the Collabinator.

Still planning out things like multi-image art entries, full art pieces in feeds, tag suggestions and multi-tag search, all high priorities.


I'm still a bit confused about what a commission is
