Sooo, FA just updated UI and changes after 17 years and.....
3 years ago
General
Heyo guys!
Honestly? I have a mixed opinion about this.
UI have been changed by it looks, custom banner finally added in, avatar shape and comment/shout box style changed, moved around "home-gallery-etc" right under username, and monthly subscription FA+ were introduced as well furrified next to username (Just like Twitter verification).
Rest of others remained unchanged is general profile layout of galleries, favourite, watchers/watching, shout, and journal sections which is good thing. Settings option layout still the same so I'm not getting confused when it comes to editing profile.
Only few things I have criticized against these new changes is upload file size limit to only 10mb and no higher resolution and reupload original file size to get around compression 10mb size limit bug is patched (meaning you cannot do get around that limit anymore). Putting everything files upload higher than 10MB and high resolution behind FA+ paywall which is the shittiest move FA ever made and that will drive some artists even commissioners away from FA. Majority of artists today and their work file size tends to be 20mb in high resolution and higher than that nowadays which is why other art sites supported that in modern day.
It making Itaku.ee website 2x better than FA because you can upload tons of pictures in one post (perfect for comics and sequences to saves ton of times), you can upload 20MB and high resolution for free (Want upload much higher than that to 50mb/80mb even 500mb/1GB/2GB video? You can subscribe to Itaku's Patreon to access to those 3 tiers reward for $4.50/$7.50/$10usd a month.), you can upload 250mb video for free, better tagging system to filter out or follow it, etc. FA doesn't support video uploads at all and animation is dead cus of Flash ceased few years ago except GIF.
Lastly, you still CAN'T change username and there is no tagging/filter system as well yet in FA! Cmon! Tons of websites out there have that option for LONG YEARS and nothing new at all. Mastodon and Itaku already have that option as well which making FA looks dated and far behind from modern websites. FA is indeed stuck in 2005 system.
(Yes, I looked into FA+ and saw "Future Development Roadmap" there is username change, tag/fliter word out, and few others in development as higher priority which is good but for how long until they finally release? That is a big question since FA is slow at updating things.)

Let me if you managed get visa and moving to Canada. ^^
I could recall FA had two new UI and classic UI to pick one at that time. That's about it.
So, I suspect FA still runs on older server along with a new server FA bought several years ago.
Itaku upload for free limit is 20mb image and 250mb of video (it's as twice as FA and FA don't support video). If want more higher than that then they need to join Patreon support in 3 separate tiers to choose to keep Itaku site running. It got positive feedbacks so far.
Most definitely! Username change, tag to filter out, etc is in developtment atm. I really hope they sort out about this dumb 10mb and no HD size limit (Most artists hate that)
