I’ve been having some big problems with Linux users that are trying to visit my deviantART profile. When I first joined deviantART my username was studio28.deviantart.com but I got banned because I was linking to the downloads directly from my site, very stupid. Then I joined as -kol because kol was already taken. I don’t know who kol.deviantart.com is but he have never been active on deviatnART. Anyways I had to add a dash in front of my username and after a while I started to received emails about Linux user not been able to access my deviantART profile. I found that the problem is the dash in front of my username. This is what the Help section in dA says about the problem:

My friends username has a dash before, after it or both and I cannot access their page. Why is this?
This is normal as they’re not standard host naming (aka considered illegal char naming). In IE such usually works, however not in Firefox or on Linux.

To stop this we no longer allow such naming of accounts.

If you have an account with such, you may wish to create a new username.

Workaround:

This workaround has been successfully tested on SuSE Linux 10.3

You will need to add a line to your /etc/hosts file, with deviantART’s dotted-quad address and .deviantart.com as the symbolic name, for instance:

198.172.81.21 -electra-.deviantart.com

(If you have several dA friends with usernames beginning or ending in a dash, you’ll need such a line for each of them, with the same numeric address 198.172.81.21). Of course, any such line will have to be changed if the dA site changes its IP address someday.

Possible ways to determine dA’s IP address is by looking at the heading line of the output of
- Windows: tracert www.deviantart.com
- Linux: traceroute www.deviantart.com

Note: Editing /etc/hosts usually requires superuser privileges. If you don’t have them, you will probably need help from a sysadmin (of your system, not a dA admin).

Looks like there is a workaround but my other option is to create another account, something that I’m not going to do because I’m going to loose all my stats and everything.
Also the other days I was browsing dA from my iPhone with firmware 1.1.4 and I find out that I couldn’t access my profile from the iPhone either but with firmware 2.0 looks like they fixed something because now I can.

Right now deviantART is the only place I upload my work and it sucks that Linux users can’t access my account but it looks that I’ll have to deal with it.

deviatnART got a face lift. Some people don’t like it but I think its pretty cool. Go to deviantART and see for yourself. Here’s a video about dA version 6.
