wandering lazily behind the herd

This Fur Affinity site is really, really slow. Do I really need to be on another site that's furry-only when I'm trying to get away from the furry thing?

Also, it strips out HTML in the profile and in the image descriptions, so helpful links and such are broken. Suck. And I have to provide a thumbnail for gifs.

But it seems to be where people are shamelessly dumping their PR0N. So that's good, I guess. I like nicely-drawn PR0N even if I never do it myself.

Yeah, I noticed that. It's all over my pages right now. I think it's because it's escaping strings for storage at some point, and never unescaping them for display...

Maybe I should just wait a bit for bug-fixes.

My guess is that their add-comment PHP script uses addslashes (or an equivalent) on the posted comment to prevent a SQL injection attack, but recent versions of PHP already do that by default for POST/GET/COOKIE data. The end result is that a mangled string gets stored in the database, hence the slashes everywhere. The edit-comment script does it correctly, so you can go back later and un-mangle it.

Yeah, I thought about that, too.. But the few people that they have working on it are either inexperienced or bogged down by server load concerns.
I'm banking on inexperienced since it seems pretty odd that a forum-like environment like that is buggy. c.c

Glance around for a while. There are tons of incedible artists about.
