Just a note - while Fur Affinity is online some users are receiving 522 Error messages when accessing the site. We're aware and are investigating the issue.
Fur Affinity has been the target of a massive DDOS this morning. Our host has contacted us that they are working on suspending traffic to FA temporarily in an attempt to mitigate the DDOS.
The DDOS is so large that over 100+ other sites are being impacted by the event. We continue to monitor.
These changes are currently in testing and are slated to go live by the end of this week. List will be updated with any additional changes once the fixes are live.
Again, THESE CHANGES ARE NOT YET LIVE - patch notes are provided as a preview.
New Features
Submission Footers: Footers have been...
We've upgraded submission removal nukes to help people keep their account notifications clear. They will now remove up to 25K submissions instead of 5K.
If you are not receiving your verification email to verify your new account please email dragoneer@furaffinity.net with your forum email. We've had a few reports from users that these emails are not arriving, and we're investigating it at this time.
We made an update to the forums today to push it into HTTPS-only mode.
This will have no impact to most users but will fix a quirk in Xenforo's default behavior that occasionally would make the user think they're logged out and be unable to log back in again until they deleted the forum's cookie.
Just a general reminder to try to keep discussion on the forums SFW. While we strive for open discussion on just about everything this is a public facing forum and we ask that you create your posts with that in mind.
Just a quick note to let you guys know we've implemented additional anti-spammer methods on the forum. Our previous attempts to combat forum spam brought down visible spam by roughly 80% but we're still seeing a lot of it on the admin side. Which is good for you, the end user, but frustrating...
Just a note -- I am currently cleaning up spam and trying to tweak our anti-spam filters. All of Xenforo's built in spam tools seem kind of lackluster so I'm taking some time to try to clean them up today. Once I'm done I'll re-enable forum account registration.
Universal
General tweaks to the template and improvements to layout.
Improved how comments look (removed some clutter).
You can now use hot keys (Ctrl-B to Bold, Ctrl-I to Italicize).
User Navigation
Made improvements to the standard desktop navigation. Should prevent issues where the Logout...
Beta Changes
Re-wrote, re-styled almost every page of Beta.
CSS platform has been changed to CSS Less.
"Dark" theme has been completely revised (goodbye, gradients!). We have also removed the other Beta themes as the templating system has changed dramatically. They'll come back once once all...
We've made improvements to the way the site generates thumbnails. Thumbnails will now generate much faster and consume considerably less memory, especially when dealing with animated GIF. Previously, animated GIFs would not properly render a thumbnail. That has been fixed, and thumbnails will...
