Thumbnail system failures

[piñardilla]

I would think that this issue would have been prioritized so that it wouldn't take several years before it was fixed, considering how big a deal thumbnails are to an art gallery site.

It is a priority. It's also a substantial overhaul on the backend. Add in that Weasyl was never in a finished state to begin with, having been and still being in the beta phase that whole period of time, and there has been plenty for the devteam to do, especially with the marked rise in traffic due to the events of the last year and a half. Those devs are also all volunteers with day jobs; the time they put in on Weasyl comes out of the remainder of their personal lives.

We are taking the need to change the thumbnail system seriously, but it's a big change and it takes time.

The midwidth 200px looks really good there! I could definitely see that being an improvement for the submissions that are a bit narrow

We're going to have The Big Discussion soon amongst the technical staff about revamping our thumbnails

It was just one of those spambots that copies peoples posts to bypass spam blocking measures.

You could've deleted mine too in the case. :p
