9/9/20 - Site Migration Complete + Known Issues
3 years ago
We have completed our server migration to the new server cluster, King Ghidorah. This new platform features all new hardware from top to bottom, oodles of RAM, and a full SSD storage array.
This server upgrade is one of the single largest upgrades in Fur Affinity’s history and has been made possible thanks to the generosity of FA+ subscribers. It will allow us to expand the site and more easily allow us to implement new features over time.
King Ghidorah
112 total CPU cores
1,536GB of memory
153.6TB of enterprise SSD storage
We greatly appreciate your patience during the migration.
Our staff is monitoring the site for performance and stability issues, and are working on a few minor issues (as seen below). We will update the known issues list with changes as needed.
- Thumbnails - Loading time may vary for thumbnails. The site is currently rebuilding its thumbnail library, and until the rebuild is complete there may be instances where thumbnails take 2-3 seconds to load. This issue will resolve itself once it finishes the rebuild.
- Time Zones - We have reports that custom time zones are not saving for some users after the move. We are investigating.

Known Issues
- Micro Outages - The site is experiencing micro-outages under very specific conditions. UPDATED:When these outages occur images will not be visible on the site. This tends to last 30-60 seconds and will automatically resolve. We have determined the cause of this and are investigating a fix.- Thumbnails - Loading time may vary for thumbnails. The site is currently rebuilding its thumbnail library, and until the rebuild is complete there may be instances where thumbnails take 2-3 seconds to load. This issue will resolve itself once it finishes the rebuild.

(The literal one was: "furaffinity используют в первую очередь как место для продажи,в любом случае у нас Русских фурианфинити славится быстрой и выгодной продаже адоптов [...] Вообщем furaffinity в основном используют как продажу,а потом уже как всё последующее.")
I have asked and proposed different options to solve that, like a separate ribbon for selling (like there are several for pictures, text, music, suits), but (despite at least a few of the above being recent) that's apparently too hard to implement.
Option to have them mandatorily tagged in some way and an account option to hide them -- "too hard to implement".
For fuck's sake, an option to have submissions by people on your block list hidden -- "too hard to implement".
Looks like staff's opinion on the site's purpose matches the above quote to the T.
subscription to get more money : REAL SHIT
We appreciate all the hard work ;;❤️
Ig it could happen if funding runs out but with how addicted many furs are I can't see that being anytime soon.
edit: it is now working again
I have followed the instructions.
I get an error when I´m triying to submit my GiFS, FLASH documents.
Does anyone know about that? I would appreciate so much...
That's great.
When are we gonna get MP4 support?
... ... and on an pointless note sense they have been down for so long should the last person to post on last post wins before they went down be considered the winner of last post wins
The forums are going to be upgraded pending the stabilization of the main site. They're currently working to fix up the issues mentioned here before focusing on the forum, but it'll come!
Oh well, at least it still runs (mostly?). ^.^
Its what people find first and most and is commercially backed by IMVU.
It's quite definitively not going away any time soon.
Is this something you intentionally switched off, or is it a bug? I might just be dumb and missed something. I haven't kept up at all.

*hyped*
Also please give us a blacklist for tags. Please. Please please please please please. I know we've been asking for quite some time.
EDIT: "Nuke" button on Submissions Page that need to be on top and bottom of page.
Derpibooru just switched to hCaptcha for example.
What even is "here"?
It would be nice to have a blacklist feature (for keywords and users) implemented, so you don't see submissions that are in it. Literally every other gallery in existence has that feature. Despite FA being the biggest one of its category, and has been online for so long, yet it doesn't have such an essential feature. It's embarrassing.
A few sections - for just art, games, intro.'s, books/writings, and maybe a small entertainment section. And, that's all...... and just - *purge* the rest..... and don't go back.
The Forums (at that point) will be (essentially re-born) if you do this - and, in turn - will be a much more pleasant place, for everyone probably.
And, better still - fold the Forums into the main site eventually - where more Staff eyes will be watching it.
I'm a SFW user, but I always need to switch into NSFW to remove all of my submissions.
Is there a way to select all NSFW automatically so we can remove it without seeing them?
to clarify i dont wish ill on anyone who does this i just wish they would go do it on gofundme or someplace else more suitable
Other than that, the site has been great in terms of speed and everything like others have stated.
Thanks for all your hard work and effort :) Much appreciated and I know the end result will be worth the wait and patience.
Bring back the forums!!!!!!!!
