Since I have made a lot of updates daily in the last few months, I figure I will just keep everything in one blog post now. If there is anything major, I will just make a site-wide notice. Otherwise, this will just receive updates via edit. So you won't be notified each time. But realistically, you shouldn't need to be notified of every update anyway.

2026 01 01
Animation (Gif, APNG) and transparency (GIF, PNG) should now be correctly resized without visual artifacts on the cropped / uncropped thumbnail or derivative sizes.
Fixing (hopefully) the last of the log-out issue some people might have experienced in the past. Now it should keep everyone logged in for half a year.

2026 01 02
Deleted comments should no longer show up in slideshow...

August 4th

We have improved the site's speed. The original plan was to get a new server soon because ours are already a few years old. Though after some optimization, it appears to be very capable still. I guess this means we should focus our budget on more storage instead.

August 9th

More database settings and query optimization. Traffic yesterday hit a record high by 25% increase (!!!), also exposing some additional weakness that has been ironed out just this morning.

Some users also experienced issues with favoriting on mobile view, which has since been resolved.

August 11th

Fixed some uncommon upload issues where the server is busy and the lock fails, causing an error message to show up when uploading an...

July 1:
Added tag tooltips and previews on mouse over thumbnail/icon to all pages that support them. This causes issues for some 3rd party preview extensions, but I can't account for all the extension you guys uses. I don't know any of them.

July 2:
Fixed tag searches limit for logged-in users. The previous restriction was meant to reduce search load due to infrastructure limitations. Now that we have switched to a much faster search engine, this limitation is not necessary, at least not for everyone.

July 3:
Removed limitation for deep page search; previously, it only applied to blank search due to the complexity of the query. Now it should work on all types of searches without issue, regardless of the number of pages, at least for now.

Mobile update:

* Display width - Image should always be fixed to the width in mobile mode. Similar to desktop mode. The user can simply scroll down. And it won't shrink to a tiny bar. It will automatically load the full quality version if your screen is big enough to show it. It only shrinks if your screen resolution isn't big enough after taking up the full width. So you are always viewing the highest quality at full width.

* Embedded image in document - Should work properly at all times in mobile mode. Previously, it was sometimes not loading properly.

* Document spacing - Should be improved now.

* Darkmode document viewing: Should respect the existing color by inverting dark to light color, depending on the...

I know it is not ready, but it is just for testing right now. I will fix the color gradually. No panic needed.

This is primarily to fix the mobile text viewing experience. Which was subpar due to an encoding issue, especially with RTF file with fancy characters.. This should be fixed for now.

Also comment delete button should show up or be hidden properly. They wouldn't let you do it if you if you don't have permission, but understandably, this caused some panic.

More later when I get to it!

You can now just... well, check it out, see how it is. I'm sure there will be tons of problems, but we will handle it like how we've been handling everything. Taking our time and tackling them one at a time.

It was actually a lot of work, but this was possible thanks to Leshana's hard work. While it was mostly done years ago. The way this gallery software was structured made it very easy for me to add new templates and make changes and modernize So, say thanks to Leshana and send love, or gift, or whatever, please!

Feel free to just drop a line here if you run into an issue, though PMing me directly is probably better. It is not like anyone else will be able to help you.

Just so everyone knows, you can always change back; the setting is...

Hi everyone!

Still can't believe it has been such a long time, this place went through a few phases after the last change. From excitement, normalcy, dissatisfaction, then nolgastic feeling, and loops back to excitement somehow.

Regardless, it is time for a change, right? The site overall won't have a change of purpose. It is going to stay the same as it has always been. Focusing on these niche fantasy quirks and give them a place to stay relevant. Usability-wise, it is going to have an overhaul.

First, we are making some small touch-ups. You might notice a few new links and a bit of extra polish here and there. Nothing major, but these initial updates are paving the way for much bigger.

We're excited to announce that our G4 Gallery is...

This is a post that I've been meaning to write for a while. It is not inspired by anyone in particular, but my own critique toward the criticism we have found in many communities as a whole. I am not a stellar example of giving or receiving good criticism. So, hopefully this post will encourage myself, and perhaps others, into a more… shall we say, “efficient“ attitude toward criticism.

Drawing and writing, for business, personal, or even entertainment like fan fiction and fantasy, as soon as we involve the word “Art”, it becomes a personal thing. We cannot help but make strong emotional connections to our creative work. For us, it is more than work, it is a performance, an unique presentation of ourselves, whether we express ourselves through writing, pictures, sculpture,...

First thing first. Pleasing everyone is hard!

It doesn't really matter what we do, there are no real way to please everyone. For some, this place work just right for them, don't want to change a thing, for other, it just isn't what they are looking for. Now, why is that? I think this should show you a thing or two.

If you have been here long enough, you should know that preferences really have a rating attached to it. Just because you like something, doesn't make you a better person. It make us different (or...
