Site Overhaul

[crazeejosh]

I think the Imagefap UI could use a serious overhaul. As a member since 2006 (20 damn years), it's really looked the same since I've been here and now, with all the missing profile photos, it just looks abandoned. Is there only one moderator that works the site, as well?

I doubt anyone here disagrees with you, and the problems with missing profile avatars and club logos will hopefully be fixed soon.

Well said. I whole-heartedly agree. It does tend to feel like we are participating in a sinking ship.
Such a lot of the basic tools on this site fail to work, some have not worked for years. A number of the quaint old rules too need revising for the modern day.
The whole condescending atmosphere here of treating members like naughty children and slapping down their contributions - whole galleries deleted for just a slip-up for example. The life of the whole site relies on the willingness of its members' participation, this high-handedness is far extreme, outdated and unhelpful. Major changes are needed before the sense of dereliction becomes even more obvious - members can't be bothered any more and leave.
And that would be a great shame. CEG.

Just at this point:

Avatars - they are "probably" gone forever. Knowing that users should just upload a new avatar.

Avatars and club logos both have the same problem because they seem to be the "same kind of data" in the logic of the site programming: Avatars.

So this problem will be fixed as soon as every user uploaded a new avatar and every club manager set a new club logo.

The answer of @longhairfish tells me that obviously there aren't backup files from the avatar images. So deleted is deleted. And the "magically reappearing avatars" probably are the user's cache content.

It does tend to feel like we are participating in a sinking ship.

Yuuup! So take hammer and nails, get some wooden tables and some teak doors from the dining room and nail them together. Don't be a dumb little spoiled brat waiting until you occasionally find a wooden plank to climb on and let your lover drown when you are in the ice cold water already.

Perhaps it would help already if each user will upload a new avatar to make IF look better. Just like you. Nice one btw.

But an overhaul? I think it would help a lot if all the bugs are fixed. One can't even write "can't" at the moment without distorting the text. It began with characters like ä á and other special characters in the gallery titles some years ago.

In the comment and status update section this is fixed meanwhile for new entries. Perhaps by programming but that's the wrong way I think It's a database problem with character encoding because gallery titles with special characters did not display at all after upload but appeared correctly after the title was edited then.

So before this site gets any overhaul it needs quite a lot of bug fixes.
