After the fact you can designate a folder in your gallery dor it, but during the upload? Nope, just gotta spam it, sorry.

Yeah I feel you. No sadly with FA you can only post one at a time. I'd say space them out you can upload like 3 a day make sure they are spaced out with enough time or else FA will hault for you.

There is a program that can help called postybird that helps manages posts to other sites as well.

this - I've seen a lot of ppl here use postybirb for automated uploads

as for dumping a comic, just make sure the pages are numbered correctly in the title and put in a folder

It's great not only can you spam upload in it but also set times for upload so you can sit back and just have your stuff auto post at those times

[warning you must have your computer on and running to be posted at your scheduled times]

Yup, I use Posty myself. It's a pretty good solution for mass uploading.

FABUI is good to upload in bulk, don't know if it's in any other browsers than Firefox tho

Works in chrome and OperaGX, that's what I've used sometimes

Yeah, spacing them out to like, 3-4 pages a day would be the best way to go about it. It won't be as overwhelming for you, and the consistent uploads over the course of a few weeks would help bring in a lot of new followers

Could do 6 a day spread over several hours to avoid being dinged with a spam, or one an hour should be fine as well. I don't think there's a bulk upload system unless you use something third party (like posty or whats-it-called).

I think it only qualifies as spam if you post something back to back to back within seconds of one another. You should be fine otherwise!

No other way than to spam the uploads, I’m afraid. That said, you can cut down on the number of uploads by stitching pages together? Some comic creators upload single collages of 5, 10, even more pages all as one. Turns 50 uploads into 10, or even 5.

Postybirb is the closest you're gonna get to being able to mass upload. It's a shame: even Itaku, which is relatively new, is much more feature complete than FA.

There's a program called 'postybirb+' that I use for uploads. you can queue up a pile of images and stagger them with delays to all your sites

#notsponsored I just like it.

Just spam them all, we'll survive

Just make a journal to warn your watchers about an upcoming art dump and you´re fine.

Do you know how to make the Prev First Next Buttons?

And I assume you will upload your Morning Series. Better to give every chapter it´s own foulder and have them numberly organiced.

Now I understand why people are complaining about FA being outdated. I had no problems with it over all those years.

Ive seen people use postybirb

I'd suggest PDFing the whole thing and putting it up in one fell swoop.

You’d think this is the best answer, but one page at a time is each a new opportunity for people to notice or see it.

There's no disputing that. FA just makes everything such a chore and if you've got fifty pages... oh, man.

Not sure about uploading, but here is how to set up navigation for your comics to make it easier for people to follow in order.

[369022, 98655, 375898] --> <<< PREV | FIRST | NEXT >>>

This is a quick way to make the navigation links for those artist that do comics. The number in this code refers to the submission ID number. The submission ID is the number shown in the URL bar, after the /view/ or /full/. Notes:

1. Only one whitespace character is allowed anywhere between the numbers, semicolons and square brackets.
2. To disable a certain link, for example you don't have the "next" link on your latest piece or the "first" link on your first one, replace the ID with a dash, "-".and that link will be disabled.
3. Works only in submission descriptions.

I know you probably get more +watches spamming the pages out, even if slowly to annoy your current watchers less. But i tend to un-watch artists that just spam comic page after comic page, its really annoying. IMO best to be hosted off-site on a different service that allows better management. (literally every other furry site has better comic management)

But if you do upload them here, definitely best kept in scraps too rather than main gallery as it makes for a terrible portfolio if people are checking out your gallery if its just endless comic pages. Post the comic title page and maybe chapter begin/finale pages to your main gallery, and the rest in scraps IMO.

For the actual uploading part as many have said, postybirb is the answer there. Just do it slowly, dear lord. No more than a couple a day, IDK about everyone else but i check my submissions once, maybe twice a day so to come back to 50+ more than im expecting makes it a chore. You'll get different people on different days too so its probably better for your exposure to do it slowly anyway.

Im currently sitting on 10'000 unviewed submissions i just cant get through, for context and thats with constant culling of watches. Its a chore, and dumps just make me cry. Wish i could at least do things like weed out YCH/Sale/Adopt/Raffle posts/reminders.

But, in the end i understand a lot of artists are fighting for their next meal so that kinda post spam is just, required. So no judgement.

I'm going to echo what everyone else is saying:
1 - make a custom folder for the comic
2 - pre-load all your pages into Postybirb, and set the drop location to that folder
3 - As LesserNeon above me said, make sure to add last | first | next buttons (these will be painful because you won't be able to program them until after the corresponding uploads are done)
4 - Set scheduled dates/times for them (Personally I space mine out by 15-30 minutes if I'm doing bulk uploads, and limit it to 6 a day)
5 - Just remember to open Postybirb every morning

FurAffinity I haven't had any issues with in regards to spam, but Weasyl mods have DM'd me about it when I first started using their site.

Being a +watcher, I saw the notification for this not long after it was posted. But I sat on my input for a couple of days to see the trend of the replies.

From the initial question, I can get that your viewpoint is probably "Ugh, I'm sooo far behind posting stuff on this site that isn't even my primary hangout...I just want it over and done with..."

But you also want your fans here to see the work. Might even want new viewers becoming fans. I know, crazy right?

Your 'most loyal' fans will put up with art floods. What about the more casual ones though? (not to mention folks peering through FA's 'Browse' function)

Most of them will be watching more than just you. Some of them are watching a <poop> ton of other accounts (I peek at the homepages of unfamiliar names +faving my works, so I see....stuff) and will have intimidating-looking numbers of new submissions if they're not here every day (if not more often) scrolling through the new material and culling the stuff that doesn't <Neuron Activated> right away. Art floods are a good way to insure they skip over most if not all of a mass upload.

So I'm a proponent of spacing out the uploads. If you need to resort to automation (postybirb) to moderate the flow of posts, then so be it. Definitely establish a folder for the comic first (assuming they're all part of the same title) and point the 'birb to that.

Entering the navigation links after the fact will be the biggest time-sink since it's a manual process requiring the index numbers (the one at the end of a FA URL) of each pic, which only get assigned as each new upload goes 'live'. The last time I did this, I copypasta-ed each new URL into a text file (along with the comic's page number) so I had a ready list of these index numbers, simplifying as much as possible the process of grabbing and pasting the appropriate numbers [previous, first, next] in the descriptions after the fact. Doing this will help keep viewers engaged since the "See More from (user)" side panel rather non-intuitively leads off with the next upload, followed by the one before the one you're looking at. Oh, and that panel also ignores folders so anything added to the main gallery in the midst of comic posting will be mixed in there without context. Confusing much?

TL:DR: Those who control their flow avoid clogging the toilet of viewer attention :D

Well, in my case it wouldn't be spam. I mean, you subscribe to an artist for their uploads. Of course, receiving 50+ pages comic in a single day would stillbe too much. At least one daily, or every two days. Or weekly.
