It tells import wont work and suggest going to Settings/Control Panel/Theme and these menu items are nowhere actually to be seen

The theme the importer is indicating is actually the one you use on Fur Affinity.

You can change it to Classic in Account Settings on Fur Affinity.

Direct link to artwork on private profile displays nothing.

Lothaekor 8 years ago updated by Digby (Community Manager) 7 years ago 1

If you were to provide a direct link to someone who does not have a FN account (or is not logged in), that person will be presented with a blank page. No indication that the profile is private and that they must log in to view the content.


If a guest user is direct linked to a submission, and the submission is not visible because the owner of the submission has made their profile private, the site should indicate that the user needs to log in to see the content.

Answer

The site has undergone redesign. Links now take people directly to submissions even if they are not logged in or registered.

Account Activation email

CL_Himself 8 years ago updated by Digby (Community Manager) 7 years ago 1

I've been trying to join the site for the last five days and I'm still unable to do so. I've checked both my Spam/Junk folder and the Trash folder. It's not in either one.


So what exactly am I supposed to do at this point?

Put gifs under artwork

Miyuni Doxaei 8 years ago updated by Digby (Community Manager) 7 years ago 2

I'm aware that gifs can be uploaded under multimedia, but many people coming from FA are use to gifs and artwork being grouped into one. It would be nice if gifs were able to be uploaded under the artwork category as well.

why are support accounts and main page accounts different?

fareydoon 8 years ago updated by Digby (Community Manager) 7 years ago 3

title says all, why make people register twice? or is this a beta thing?

Answer

Support is run by a third party service. There might be a way to integrate it with FN's accounts system, but they probably decided to focus on getting features finished.

A Better What's New Workflow (Improved Shortcuts and Full View)

rudderg33k 8 years ago 0

A lightroom-esque workflow for the what's new page would be fantastic. Being to zoom into an image full-view and then being able to quickly do the following with sample keys:


Z: Pass/Move On/Dislike/Remove From What's New

X: Promote

C: Favorite (Maybe an option to auto advance?)

V: Download

Arrow Keys: Browse the Grid or List


Right now the Favorite and Promote shortcut keys are in a rather counter intuitive place considering there is browsing with the arrow keys currently so you have to move your hand back and forth between the key areas versus keeping one hand on the shortcut keys and one hand on the browse keys or mouse. While not married to those exact keys for the shortcuts I think there should be a Remove and Download hotkeys at the very least.


Thanks For Reading!

Endless Art Submission and reappearing after Refresh

Shadow 8 years ago updated by Digby (Community Manager) 7 years ago 1

Is anyone else having an issue of clicking new art thats been submitted removing it from feed gallery only to have it pop right back after refreshing page?

Answer

At the moment, this doesn't appear to be a problem. However, there have been issues in the past with indexing items in the gallery, and that could have been the issue. This should be resolved.

Offline Commissions/Messages

Sekioh 8 years ago updated by Digby (Community Manager) 7 years ago 1

Problem

While downtime is never planned, it can be hazardous to artists and commissioners. While this can be mitigated by manually copying and pasting every commission and private message down to a text file, someone may have been out of town or at a convention for a weekend and viewed it on phone or mobile device unable to save a copy to cloud or with the rest of the files such as desktop. When sites go down or are unreachable either because of a hosting issue or a local user network issue, even already established commissions may not get completed because of lack of access to refsheets or such. While the following suggestion may help with already sent messages and commissions, there would still always be the issue of a down server preventing new communication from occuring and this does not find a solution for that at this moment of time.


Solution

A mobile/desktop application to take push notifications or occasionally check in and sync down copies of all the private message threads as well as the commission entries and their attached or linked files, if the domain goes down then, users can run from the local cache and as soon as it comes back up it can check in again and sync with any changes by timestamp+nonce order of newest modifications.


Though programming an app or executable would be more development time, a subdomain with HTML5 manifest file may be quicker alternative, for offline 'web app' caching, sites set up like this you can browse to even if you have no network connection, the cache saves all the sites assets from manifest file in root domain and meta header tags allowing the localStorage api to pretend a browser is unaffected by network status.


This would provide only an interface to simple email like interface of entries that when clicked expand or shift to new panel or page of the information. Just having this redundant backup would increase confidence that even if there was a loss of service for gaining new commissions, at least they would have the ability to work on already established projects.


Technical

For a mobile app, can be even a webview with locally downloaded and cached html and javascript, only using the mobile app platform to allow for push notifications to trigger more syncs and a more guaranteed persistent storage as well as security of being tied to a device id.


If browser based, something like webapp.furrynetwork.com or offline.furrynetwork.com would contain the project from complications of caching too much or the wrong things and preventing dns issues mixing up if the site does go offline. If on the live site you include the manifest headers to force the sync and download to a browser simply because someone is logged in, then if they don't explicitly log out, it may cause security issues with people logging on to FurryNetwork on friends computers or other nonsecured devices. On the other hand, if you don't do the automatic sync and download cache of the manifest simply with using the site at all, the entire concept of protecting the user becomes useless simply because of forgetfulness or laziness.


Perhaps storing the cache with an encryption of their username and password, so feeding the local storage back through the load function returns garbage and it detects that it's not correct and shows a failed load, I think that'd be adequate for commissions and messages while it'd still be stored locally and possibly vulnerable to brute forcing with physical access to that computer during the time that the user never logged out and their cookie session for staying logged into the site is still valid. If it ever detects the user was logged out and the sites not down, purge the storage and sign the user out.


If a mobile app or desktop app, it would typically be assumed that mobile would be secure due to the sandboxing nature of each app and someone would be less careless with leaving a desktop app installed, running, and signed in if it was not owned by the user. The biggest threat to security is web app idea having to rely on a localStorage cookie and having to secure with pure html+javascript only.

Answer

While I can see something like this being valuable, it would also lead to a large amount of data being transferred, and this would put a significant load on our systems. In addition, mobile apps for websites with mature content are extremely difficult or impossible to get approved. We don't plan to create a tool specifically for this purpose. However, we will likely release an API, and members are welcome to create apps that will be helpful for them.


In general, we recommend that sellers save essential commission information in case there is an issue. There are online and offline organizational tools that can help keep work flows organized.
