FA Obsession Collection / Re: Upcoming UI changes

I had never noticed before, but it seems instead of having separate icons, they all come from 1 image, and then use CSS to change the offsets (see attached). If anyone can offer some insight into the possible reasoning behind that, I'm all ears.

I'm pretty sure it's a technique used to "lessen the load" on the server speed up web browsing by reducing the number of requested files, but it really doesn't make that much of a difference when people are downloading the 1-2MB that it takes to look at a Fender Journal.


Edit:
Yeah, this Wikipedia section sums it up.

Even in the demo site at http://preyfar.dev.furaffinity.net/ it appears that no one has taken account that not everyone has wide screen displays.

Also, the File Type icons aren't broken there.

We've barely had the new header for a week and they're already preparing another new header and theme.

In other news, the option to "remember me" when logging in is gone, the "Activity Log" has been disabled, and the active sessions tracker is reporting incorrect IP's and wrong browser versions.

Strange, the IP (at least for me) is pointing to somewhere in England. Wonder if it's the same IP for everyone? 2.25.127.111 is the IP...

Also found this interesting, take a look at at the Browse page:

The little file type icons are glitched.


Edit:
Aaaaand, FA is down.

I have always wondered what was up with the whole high/drunk look on fursuits.

Went ahead and [reluctantly] backed it up.

From Fenders journal:

Some people have noted that FA may not render/work right on some mobile devices/gaming consoles (e.g. Nintendo Wii). Officially, we do not support mobile devices or game consoles. That said, we will try to improve compatibility on those handheld devices (iOS, Android, Windows Phone).

That made me laugh. Yeah, we will work on improving compatibility on devices we use, but if you use a Wii or other game console your S.O.L.

Funny how they suddenly mention they don't support certain devices when they release an update that breaks functionality for them, rather than do it right in the first place.

Also funny how half of FA's POST is still unprotected from outside scripts. You can still note bomb people, and submission comment bomb people. Way to half-ass it guys.
