Hello all!

It's that time again, time for another donation drive. As was announced previously, the last drive in November raised enough for about three months of server payments. Since then, bro has again been covering the payments.

The payments for the site are about $100 a month, so any donation that can be provided would be greatly appreciated so that one person doesn't have to carry the cost.

Just so you know why we need the donations: we are a self-sufficient site and rely 100% on donations to keep us going!!

You can donate here:
paypal - [email protected]

ko-fi - ko-fi.com/ygallery

All our crypto addresses are at the bottom of every page on Y!gallery

EDIT: WE'VE REACHED GOAL!! Thank you all so much for your donations!

Now with a donation thermometer so you can see how we're doing!

Thanks all!

Hi folks,

We're currently having some technical issues with the site, so this is why you're not able to submit your works at the moment and the themes are all messed up, but bro is aware of it and will be working on fixing things as soon as he's able.

We will be sure to update when things are back to normal. Thank you all for being patient with us.

EDIT: Submitting and themes are fixed. There still seems to be an issue with opening text submissions, but I've notified bro.

EDIT 2: Everything should now be back to normal. Thank you all for your patience while bro got the site fixed.

Hello!

We would like to thank you all very much for the donations that came in. We ended up with a total of 370.70USD. That's enough to pay for our server costs for the next three months. Server payments are $100/month, so thank you all so, so much!

In first place is Zeroboy1696 (their Discord name) with a donation of $99.00US.
In second place is also another person from our discord, Kaikenkeru, with a donation of $58.68US.
Third place with a donation of $69.69US goes to a member who wished to remain anonymous whom I will be contacting via email to send them their prize.

Zeroboy will recieve a commission from ???, Kaikenkeru will receive a commission from ???, and Anon will receive a pre-made artwork specifically for our contest from FallenAngel007. All our winners will be contacted within the next few days so they can receive their prizes.

A very heartfelt thank you to all the artists who donated their time and artwork as prizes to our contest. Please check out their galleries and support them.

Everyone has been so kind and generous. We love you guys! We really can't thank you all enough.

Hello,

We are experiencing issues with the site with images not loading, themes disappearing, broken links and avatars, etc. Our developer, bro, is working on trying to figure out the problem. We're looking into seeing if it's related to the Google outage earlier or if there's an issue with the site itself.

We hope to have things back to normal as quickly as possible, but if you'd like to report a problem you're encountering, you can do so here on this post or over on Y!gallery Bug Club. Please provide screenshots of the problem you're seeing, as Bro finds that very useful.

Thanks everyone.

UPDATE: Things should be fixed now. Bro says to clear your cache or refresh and things should be back to normal. If you're still having issues, just let us know via the links above.

Hello Y!gallery,

Some of you may remember that back in the day we had to ban furry art for a time because our server company considered it bestiality, which they would not allow us to have. What allowed us to be able to bring furry artwork back to the site was heavy negotiations where we were able to strike a compromise, which was rule 1f - "Visible penises may be retractable/sheathed, macro or micro, any color or double (diphallia), but must otherwise appear human."

Us mods have been in discussion about that rule, and since the server company we have now has no issues with it, we have decided to make a change to that rule as well as add a new filter so that those that do not want to see non-human penises can opt out. The new filter will be called "Non-human genitalia" and must be applied to any image where the penis is not human. Rule 1f will now read: Visible penises may be human and non-human in shape and color (diphallia is also acceptable), but all non-human penises MUST be tagged with the non-human genitalia filter.

As well as the new filter and rule change, we are also making a change to how all our filters are applied. From now on, ALL filters will be on by default. If there is something specific you wish to see, just go into your settings and uncheck the filters you want to make that specific content visible to you. This does not change the content of what is allowed on the site, it just changes how that content is handled so our members can customize their experience here on the site.

Thank you for being a part of Y!gallery as we continue to do our best to bring this old place into the 21st century. If you have any questions regarding these changes or anything else on the site, feel free to leave a comment on this announcement or ask us over on Mod Helpdesk .

Cheers!
Your Y!gallery staff.
