Because of the most recent FA update, I'm forced to lower the resolution I upload at here. Previously I'd been posting at a res of 3200 * 3200 using the file replacement workaround but that's no longer possible. I will continue to upload at this res to other platforms, including InkBunny, My Discord Server, and e621. Even higher resolution versions are available to my subscribers on Subscribestar. I'm also trying out Itaku, though time will tell if I continue uploading there since I have yet to get much traction there.

I can't help but feel a little frustrated, since FA was my only gallery that didn't really have a caveat. e621 is arguable the best place to find a collection of my work going forward, though there are a few things missing and you can't really watch artists on there. As far as the rest of the site update goes, I can't say I'm a fan. The UI is super lacking in cohesion. Sometimes avatars and things have rounded corners sometimes they don't. There's the weird gutters on the sides for no reason other than to waste screen real estate. The comments section just has a completely different visual design from everything else???

I will say one positive thing though, profile banners are a very welcome addition. I was planning on doing a banner for my substar already so I'll definitely be making use of the feature. For now though it is the fish. Also I am happy for LaPatte getting the opportunity to do the site banner. He's a pretty nice fellow from my limited experience interacting with him and he did a good job!

So overall, pretty mixed feelings about the site update, and most of them aren't super positive. All would be forgiven though if they just added the username change feature please I'm begging you!
