Choose any submission.
You will see an "arrow" and an "x".
click the arrow, and click on "remove all deviations from #GROUPNAME".



If you don't want to receive any submission from the group. NO submission at all:

Choose any submission.
click the arrow, and click on "Unwatch #GROUPNAME's deviations".



Add a Thumb or Link

To display a thumbnail, you need to use the :thumb#######: notation, where # is the number of the deviation in which you wish to display. You can find the :thumb#####: for your deviation to
the right of the artist's comments, under the deviation.

To link images you will need to open the deviation you would like to link to by clicking on it in your gallery. You then will copy the URL address from your browser and then paste the URL address into your note. This will create [Link] which will be a clickable link!


Add a Groups Widget to your page

From your main profile page click on the "edit page" button located at the top right of the page.

When the pop up box appears scroll through the widgets on the left and find the Groups widget. Add this widget to your page. All groups you are a member of will show up in this box.

Add an avatar/icon to your journal

: iconusername : will display the members avatar as a link to their page. Change "username" to "naturephotographer" and remove the spaces before and after the colons. Remember, however, that the limit for posting blocks of avatars is sixty four, and this will not work in signatures.

note: you can also add avatars and stamps in the text area of your deviant Id on your front page, which eliminates copying and pasting, for members without subscriptions and is permanently visible

For signatures, : devusername : Again, change "username" to "naturephotographer" and removing the spaces before and after the colons will give you the members name as a link.
