It's so agravating trying to upload an image now. Three attempts in the last two days failed with problems posting the thumbnail. Each time I had to retype all the fields again. WHY on earth is that necessary???.Then the recommended images for me I find totally insulting. All of them are photos of naked women. Most are from artists I've never looked at and galleries that I've never looked at. I look at mainly vue and poser and DAZ studio so how were the recommendations determined? If I wanted to be directed to a porn site i would go and find one .Where is the information when a favored artist uploads an image ? No emails anymore? As a lesson on how to wreck a website you did a good job.
As to missing images. Many have discussed this and most say that they have backups so the loss is not critical. A little over a year ago, our home was burglarized. All of my electronics were taken including my computers and the back up HDs with all my art and photographs. The only "backup" I had for many were here. Now they seem to be gone too. The site is difficult to navigate. With the hassles to post and create a thumbnail, I may have posted my last image here.
Get your act together!
