Hello! I thought it would be helpful to have a place for people to submit their queries in advance for the next Ask the Staff event. So, ask away! Pre-Event questions that we answer will go in first post of the next event. If your question didn't get answered last time, you may re-post your question here.
Please be sure to follow the Rules and Guidelines posted below. These apply not only to this thread but to all Ask the Staff events!
NOTE: Ask The Staff is currently held once every two weeks, unless otherwise specified.
Please check the Frequently Asked & Answered thread before posting your question.
You can find that thread here.
One question per post.
Please only ask one question in your post. Asking more than one question in your post may result in your post getting skipped.
Repeat posts will be deleted.
Please only post your question once. Repeatedly posting the same question multiple times on the same day may result in the additional posts being deleted, your question being skipped, and/or your loss of being able to post to the thread. This is to help keep the noise in the thread down and allow questions by others to be reached more quickly.
Do not recruit people to come to AtS to ask the same question.
Similar to one person repeatedly asking the same question, multiple people collaborating to ask the same question will not increase your odds of an answer, and may be treated as spam.
Do not post support issues.
Do not post issues regarding account bans, billing issues, warnings, and other support issues. Instead, please file a ticket about them at our Help Center or write into Live Chat. Questions about support issues may result in your post getting skipped.
Do not post bug reports.
If you encounter a bug or glitch, please post in our Bug Report & Technical Support forum. Post in an existing thread about your issue if one is on the first page, otherwise create a topic of your own. We are frequently checking this forum for reports and passing them up to our developers.
Do not post item suggestions or report avatar item bug/glitches.
We have designated places for these posts to be made, and questions or suggestions about items will be skipped. If you have an idea for a new item, please suggest it here. If you’re wanting an item re-released, please use the form provided in this thread. Or, if you encounter a bug/glitch with an avatar item, please let our artists know here.
All posts are seen but not all questions will be answered.
There are a few reasons why a question might not be answered. Here are some of the most common reasons why that happens:
There are questions that have been asked and answered previously and the answer given there hasn't changed.
There are questions that we simply do not have an answer to at the moment.
There are questions asked in a format other than the one that we recommend you post in.
We will not quote or tip you to confirm we’ve seen your question; if you posted it in this thread, we saw it.
hi there staff, I know tons of inventory stuff is in the works, but I wanted to ask about these in particular:
1) a lock toggle for items: to prevent said locked items from being sold, traded, or gifted until the lock toggle is turned back off.
EX:
I have flipped the lock toggle for Kiki the kitty. Two months later, I am doing a massive trade and accidentally try to add it to the trade. An error pops up stating the item is locked and it cannot be added to the trade. But what if it wasn't an error and I want to get rid of it now? well, go back into the inventory and flip the toggle off, and now she's good to go!
I figure this could be added to the item details window that pops up when you click on an item in your inventory from the inventory page
2) a permanent equip toggle: allows an item or items to always be equipped to your avatar, even if you select "get nekkid" (for users who always wear the same item, or are reworking cosplays, etc it could be really handy)
EX:
I flip the permanent equip toggle on my favorite flair. Now the item is always equipped and unable to be taken off until I go back into the item details and turn it off.
I figure this also could be added to the item details window that pops up when you click on an item in your inventory from the inventory page
*picture of the item details window I am referencing above*
IF number one is something staff is amicable to:
3) addition to number 1's item lock toggle... a "lock all items" option for saved outfits! I do not have a good suggestion for where this should be located sad I wanted to say in the outfits tab, but all the buttons there don't really seem to have space for it. I suppose it should ideally be near the other toggles then?
As always, thanks for your time and consideration! Like I said, I know there is a lot coming for inventories and maybe this has already been on the books, but I hope it's something y'all've considered gaia_duck
So I think something similar was asked in the just recent ask the staff. This is similar but different question.

Question
With quite a few people now having reallllllly long mp lists, it really difficult to find things. Is there a way to have stuff on your wishlist show up on/at the first page of peoples stores, or is that to much coding.
Maybe toggable if people don't like said organization.
Thanks gaia_kittenstar
Could you either just delete the sell button for those items or add a sellback price.
I'll gladly sell the ears back for 500 a piece but if I'm not going to get anything back why is there even a Sell button?
Those items have a sellback value of less than 1 Platinum but selling these items will grant the correct amount to your account; it just won't be reflected in your Platinum count until the hidden amount of currency (visible when account is set to Gold) you own that is less than 1 Platinum(10,000,000 Gold) exceeds that amount.

Ah thanks for the explanation. Should I just change it to gold while selling then?

You know how in the Game tab in your inventory, it tells you how many items you have with that little number in the corner? It'd help wonders if the Equip tab did the same thing. It would make getting rid of any duplicates faster.

If you want to be able to see the numbers you can change to Gold while selling them but you will get the same amount added to your account even if you sell while on Platinum. Whether you're set to Gold or Platinum your account just has 1 pile of money, when set to Platinum it visually rounds it down but the smaller amounts still exist.
