Llama Badge Locking
Suggested by *C-91 and written by ^ladygagz.Did you know that you can lock your Llama Badge to the version of your choice? In order to do that, open your
badges page, and click on your llama badge.
As an example, say you have a Fancy Llama Badge, but you want the Albino Llama Badge shown on your profile instead. From the list on the right, click the Albino Llama and it will lock your Llama onto the Albino version (illustrated below).
Congratulations, your Fancy Llama Badge is now locked onto the Albino Llama Badge!

It can be also handy to mention that you can post a journal to your personal profile and groups in the same time through sta.sh, and that you can use the :bigthumb: code to make pictures bigger in a feature.
I had a dA friend who was online the same time I was ,I wanted to chat with them ,but I didn't know how . So we just had to settle for notes at the time.
Do I have to be a premium member to do that ? and can I make the chat exclusive for just the two of us or for a small group of people ?
Choose a chatroom, send your friend a link to it and chat! Or create your own, where you would have privacy. You can't make it exclusive, I think, but it's not very probable that someone will come there if there are not many people, it will be on the bottom of the list. And you can kick out people you don't want there.
Thanks a lot
