Regarding the Avatar Builder, is there a reason why, when I select the option to ‘view opposite gender’, any subsequent actions except for ‘Get Naked’ that I take only apply themselves to the built avatar of my (current avvie’s) own gender? I’m trying to build a male OC and if I can’t work with the male base… that’s going to be a bit of a problem. (Of course, I could work around this by having the female base in the Builder wear limb mods and all, but it’s just not the same thing.)


There are some slight limitations with the avatar builder as it works with the current dress up program which assume you are staying the same gender throughout the experience. We are actually planning on expanding the functionality of avatar dress up to allow gender changing. That should be an option down the road, hopefully within the next two months.

The previous ATS said any fangame that would be sold for profit, would need to contact Gaia for a publishing deal. How would one go about that?


You can PM Lanzer if you plan to release a game based on Gaia asset for sale. Typically we just needed to make sure the game doesn't break TOS.

Is it possible to have a quick "find and replace" of old image urls on the forums? Thumbnails are broken all over the place in old threads due to the change from "s.cdn.gaiaonline.com" to "graphics.gaiaonline.com". If not automatic, as it could easily break some posts if they almost reached the characters limit or something else, at least a quick button a post writer could press on which would let them preview the fix before proceeding. Another possibility could be to have a button which allow users which find a post they want to see properly to view it with the content replacement. Guides and item lists are rather useful and a shorter way to edit them would greatly help.


Good point on the broken images. We can add a filter to replace all the old URL to the new ones. Expect a patch within a week or so.
Ask the Staff Rules & Guidelines


  1. 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 for not following this.

  2. Repeat posts will be deleted.
    Please only post your question once. Repeated posting of the same question multiple times on the same day may result in the additional posts being deleted or in 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 seen.

  3. 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. Questions about support issues may result in your post getting skipped.

  4. 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 are asked that have been asked and answered previously and the answer given there hasn't changed, therefore we don't answer that.

    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.

  5. The thread may get locked periodically.
    Should the thread posts grow faster than we can handle, we may temporarily lock the thread while we catch up. We will post if the lock is because of us catching up, or due to the event being over.

  6. Item suggestions and requests.
    Questions specifically asking for item requests will not be answered in ATS. They may not be responded to individually in the interest of getting to other questions. You may also post your item request and suggestions in the Item Request Thread in Site Feedback!
Questions should follow the following format...

FEATURES / BROWSER EXTENSION

Hey everyone. So why are you guys building a browser extension for your own website? Isn't that kind of bizarre? I don't understand why it's necessary to implement a dark theme on the site instead of just editing the coding and giving us a toggle switch.

Also, what is this "secondary ad revenue" about? I don't feel safe using the extension at all with that wording. Are you going create pop-ups, override or break our adblock extensions, sell our information, or what?

      I wasn't sure if the update was delayed or if Miasmal Viperex is just super-rare, so...

      Could we please get an announcement or staff notice when Miasmal Viperex gets added? You might be planning on doing this anyway, but I figured it didn't hurt to ask. Thanks either way! emotion_bigheart

Game items are still stuck in many people's trades. I haven't heard an update about this in quite some time, when can we reasonably expect an update about the issue?

The Heartbreak Cafe's next event is coming up, and I was wondering where in the forums I could post to ask for help in terms of staffing, since it's my responsibility as Head of Staff to do recruiting. Do you have any suggestions that are not Chatterbox? We all know that thread would get buried incredibly quickly.

How do we know if a user made item is open for re-release or not?

When will merchandise be sold again, like shirts sweatpants hoodies and keychains?

Distinct Dabbler

future Gaia Browser Extension
I can't get excited about the potential of this until I hear more about it. While I don't expect you have much to share at this time, is there a rough estimate of when we might get more information/details about the browser extension?
ex: days/weeks/months/halloween event/2020

Is there a date set already on when the LK update will be out? I'm just excited about it so I'm being nosy o3o

Thank you for doing another update to add new stuff and adjust the drop rates, I will finally get the kin I want! <3

We'll soon have an FAQ on the browser extension for Gaia, it's a sponsorship to promote a 3rd party search engine, and in turn they help put resources into building some features for us, and that happen to be dark mode for forums. There aren't anything crazy like selling user info, and no overriding adblock, those types of stuff.
