i'm not one to complain but... what is with this new forum update?!

Every time i add a gif or an image to my profile it just hides it to "protecc my privacy"

why in the holy mother of god would i need that? i'm sorry but i'm just baffled at why this is a thing, i just wish there was a way to turn it off or on for certain things or something in a similar way, just saying

It happens to me too and idk why... But maybe they're doin something to upgrade the profiles/fourm, but rlly idk.

i could take a stab in the dark and say it's probably to weed out people using NSFW in their profile pages

just a guess

I still don't have a logical explanation from the staff

noone uses dah forums [ANYMORE I MEANT!] its not even fawni

there was a lamb drawing i had on my profile for decoration, and its now been hidden. this is really stupid and its a unnecessary feature.
i hope it gets removed, cause it now completely ruined my profile and its terrible.

Staff pls take it back </3

It was added for security measures. It used to be used in private messages only but has been expanded to the profiles as well.

someone said that people were hiding malware download links in images somehow? i don't even know the point honestly except for like NSFW images, but that's why we have sentinels

I hate it as well. ruins the overall experience, as posting pictures in general for too various uses now is more annoying when this wall is standing in your way. doesnt really help much to make your profile look better either, thank god the YT icons are still holding out..

nevertheless i wonder if there is any way for staff to bypass this if possible. i would like to assume that such an option is out there, but solving it wouldnt seem easy is my guess.

It was something like that, I think the first time I heard of malware and viruses in images is when DeviantArt got rid of the Webcam feature "basically you can put whatever image or gif you wanted in there". I lack the comprehension of why virus images are still around, that's beyond me. Considering many of the people who used to use the forums have left or quit the game entirely in the English community alone.

I'm pretty sure this update was aimed for more active communities to protect the minors who use the fourm.
