Sometimes Deviant Arts just drives me CRAZY!!!

Yesterday I went to split up one of my favourites folders which had gotten a little bloated at 37 pages of fav's.  So I decided to move half the contents into a new folder.  Easy peasy; it's something I've done often over the last four years because lets face it; nobody wants to work their way through humungous fav folders! 

So I did it like I always do.  Move over one page at a time until it's done.  Should have taken about 30 to 40 minutes max.  BUT after about the 5th or 6th page move, I suddenly get a message on screen saying I've exceeded the number of fav's I can add in a certain amount of time!  WTF??? 

First I'm not adding any fav's!  I'm SIMPLY MOVING THEM!!!  Second, when I check the new folder over 80% of that page of fav's is GONE!  It's not in the new folder yet it's been removed from the old folder.  In other words deviant arts has simply eliminated them!  Try again with half a dozen fav's, same error message and only two appear in the new folder while all six disappear from the old.  Damn am I pissed. 

Through trial and error, I find that it seems to crop up after about four or five pages and I have to wait up to about an hour or so between each attempt.  So obviously DA has instituted some new asinine policy without bothering to warn us or tell us what in hell it is or how it works?  And couldn't be bothered to check to see if it would accidentally delete user's own previous favs?  Therefore a routine splitting up of a single folder took me most of a day and the loss of about 4 pages of fav's that I can never recover!  (Since I don't know which one's were deleted. They still show up in my overall favourites count and listings even though they're gone!) Thank you very much Deviant Arts! 

Sooooo for whichever DA cretins thought this was a great idea and even worse either could not be bothered, were too lazy or too stupid to make sure it wouldn't delete previous favs  (probably all of the above).......  I place on you the following Gypsy curse!  That your car refuse to start on the coldest day of this winter, that your girlfriend dumps you and that you get the worst case of the flu you've ever had in your entire life! 

So if you wish to escape this curse; get off your fat asses and FIX THIS !!! 

Yah like that's going to happen!  sigh........  So a warning to anybody moving fav's around from one folder to another.  Don't do more than about a hundred or so at a time and be prepared for the possibility of loosing up to 5 to 10 percent of them permanently!
