New deviantART ThumbnailsIn the weekly Site Updates, we've been telling you all about the changes that have been launched to deviantART, getting your feedback, and reporting all the bugs that have been fixed.
This change is a little different, since it involves a feature that has been in place for a long time. We think it deserves an announcement of its own, ahead of time.
The current deviantART thumbnails (the smaller versions of deviations) have served the community well for years; however, there's always room for improvement.
Some of the problems with existing thumbnails are: they leave a lot of blank space around them, there isn't a lot of room for text for literature deviations, and the thumbnails don't present very tall/wide images well.
The New Thumbnails
Now, we've created a new style of thumbnail, which hopes to solve a lot of these problems.

Why must you credit your stock?Hey, photomanipulators!
How are you? Hope everyone is doing well tonight.  
I need your help with something, if you don't mind.  I've been digging pretty seriously through deviation after deviation, looking for DDs to feature to show everyone how awesome our community is. And, oh my gosh, you guys, I found two that are BREATHTAKING  that I really, really wanted to feature. But-- you guessed it-- they did not credit their stock resources.  
This isn't just a problem that I have as a CV.
I still love saying that! I'm a CV!!
Lack of crediting is a problem that affects the entire photomanipulation community, and you should and must care about it. Here's why:
It impacts what we can and cannot submit to groups, features, DDs, etc.It is contagious; when one artist does not credit, others tend to follow suit.It is unethical not to give someone credit for their hard work. Plus, it is against dA policy. Oh, and it violates copyright law.IT Why must you credit your stock? by ^Aeirmid

The 3-month rule is now the 6-month rule, meaning that it must be at least 6-months since the last time an artist received a daily deviation. (This was an overwhelmingly popular suggestion from the community and I agree, it's a good one!)
