Pixiv Community Artists

Heck, go to Bugmenot. That's how I skimmed through Pixiv. Couldn't figure anything out, so I decided it wasn't worthwhile to register my own account, since I'd have no idea how to use it.

PrBlahBlahtson,

Would it help if I took screenshots and made a mini-guide for the basic functions of the site?

If you have further questions. Feel free to ask. I did an overview of the account home section and the illustration viewing section. The profile page is about the same except you can view a small sample of their bookmarks, favourites, illustrations, messages, etc.

Is "Watch" like adding someone to your favourites? Or is it like something where you get an alert if the user you submitted to your favourites adds something new?

Something that would keep track of any updates by selected artists since you last checked, so I suppose the latter.

If you add an artist to your favourites and then go to your home page, you'll see a list near the bottom that shows new works by your favourite artists sorted by their upload date. Also, when you add an artist to your favourites, you can dictate whether you want that artist to be listed publicly or privately as your favourite user.

Update: added ちる (Chiru). See first post for link. Samples at the bottom of this post.

So how do I set it to show favorites privately or publicly?

*shrugs*
I wouldn't want to ask you to go out of your way. For people who can read Japanese, it's probably a good site. But if I have to keep track of a bunch of URLs and check them individually every day to see if there's been an update, that's a hassle. Given how much BE material there is out there, it seems counter productive.

Which is not to say that the art there isn't worth going to a little trouble. I just couldn't find anything resembling a "Watch" feature and didn't feel like fiddling with it at the moment.
