Took 4 attempts to get it to quote, kept taking me to Swiftus' profile page.

All of this whistle and bell bollocks really isn't needed; Bold, Italics, posting pictures and videos and the ability to actually join the site is really all that's required, pal - get that sorted and you can sit back and watch the cash roll in and not have to address a bunch of moaning cunts on a day to day basis.

Truth bomb.

Ed, you've said you'd welcome offers for the site. Why not just be transparent and say how much you're looking for?

I thought about it awhile ago, but apart from the 3 letter domain, there's not really anything of value here. Would take a lot of money to get it competing with other fashion sites to get any traffic.

Doubt anyone wants to join Fuk. The community here is insular and older. Posting fits on a forum is just archaic, young gen would be posting on Insta anyway to get likes and popularity. Then there's the "politics" which could put people off, it's the popular topic here that always rises to the top and personally poisoned Fuk.

unfortunately i completely agree

as stated above I think all changes (except allowing people to recover passwords/ sign up for new accounts) should be reversed

Yeah, I agree. Although TBF we did update the site's back end that was basically falling apart and also fixed signup/registration that hadn't worked for years.

Cash roll in from new sign ups?! I'd bet no more than 5 people a month sign up and the vast majority of that aren't even active.

Use https://postimg.cc to upload.

Once uploaded you can ​copy all the links needed forall images under 'Hotlink for websites'

Imgur works as well

I've been posting images using the sun/mountains icon and uploading to server and it seems to work fine for me as long as you change the image size.

Way easier than faffing with image hosting
