No issues with BZ on Firefox for me.  Running W11 on my desktop.  Try clearing your browser cache and cookies and doing a malware scan.

If you click on advanced you can see the details of the cert you are getting served. Perhaps someone is trying to steal your traffic? 

I sent you a message Maddog107.

Thanks for your support. What a garbage site, to care about its longtime members’ longtime contributions so little. What a waste of time everything I did here was. 🤦🏼‍♂️

 

To you and anyone else who enjoyed that Orion thread, feel free to send me a DM if you want. I will no longer be contributing to this board, but I get e-mail notifications whenever I get a DM, and I had TONS of additional models who I’d recently ID’d but not yet posted here, both for Orion and many other lingerie brands. I can share it with you if you interested, but I won’t be contributing to this sorry site anymore. Sad. 💩

Last ditch effort here…I still can’t believe a huge and popular thread just vanished into thin air without any explanation or response from anyone whatsoever. Seriously, WTF? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Help me understand why exactly you are upset? I have no clue what happened to the thread(s) you're referring to as I never touched them, however 9/10 threads or posts are removed b/c we received a cease & desist to remove the content or legal actions will be taken. That might have been what happened.

If this is how what you think and how you feel, why do you keep coming back here and post? Genuine question - not trying to troll you. You could easily logout, don't log back on, and never come back to this site again. Why waste your time on something that you view as "a garbage site"  and "Sad.💩 " Wouldn't your time and energy be better spent on something that doesn't cause you negative feelings and thoughts? Also, you said "won’t be contributing tothis sorry site anymore." but yet you are back contributing again.

Yes, all the time, all the time. I have spent a week to collect thousands of photos.

I am about to post them and I get this warning all the time. I upload 40 photos in each post.

And usually I get 4-5 errors like this. And I try not to skip any photos and go back and try to

upload those missing ones. But I need to find it in a folder of thousand images. So it gets

frustrating, disturbing and annoying. Will admins/moderators do something about this?

 

Zinner I am going to tell you something you don't like. Models and brands do not want 100s of their catalog pictures upload. Pick a few photos of each model from catalogs you like before every brand starts cutting models heads off and none of us can upload catalog images. I warned all of you in 2017 about this. More and more catalogs are making it harder to procure these images. Also, no model wants their crappiest work ie catalog pictures flooding the google algorithm especially if they are more than a lingerie model. This leads to models asking their threads to be taken down. Notice it's always the lingerie models who ask for their threads to be down. It's never the very editorial/image/runway models that are asking threads to be taken away. Then there is the mass photo dumping of instagram photos which nothing is labeled leading to duplicate posts. From where I am standing the 40 pictures is a moderation nightmare. I would gladly sign a petition to post 20 pictures at a time and limit catalog pictures unless scans on vintage catalogs to be capped at 20. You may be upset you can't post more pictures. I am more upset I am wasting my time procuring pictures that a dumped into threads not labeled. So let's agree the 40 cap is a necessary evil to keep this place functional and move on. While you might not break all the rules, others do. Judging by the lack of moderators on, its probably way harder to manage this place then it was pre-covid.

For those reading this: Remember to label, group like photos together, and cite any photographers, publications, brands, hair, makeup, stylist, etc when posting. This helps with take downs which fashionspot doesn't have. If you really like a model and you can only find catalog images, you can pm them on instagram asking for a list of their clients to prevent the mass amount of lingerie and/or catalog in a models thread. Also, if you post models use their booking names and not their real names. Privacy is important. Respect is essential.

Lisa B aka Lisa Barbuscia's topic (actress) has disappeared or is unreachable, the links don't work. Can you do something? It would be better in any case to place her among the models, being known above all as a model. Thank you

I think the issue is we need to have discussions on where people are placed. I think the rule of thumb is what agency are you signed to? Is it a fashion agency or talent agency. OR where does a bulk of your income come from? Are they still doing catalog: Model.  When in doubt, leave models in the model section until they are no longer model status. I think people who do not understand the industry should not be requesting for these threads to be moved. Lisa B was never really an actress and I hope her thread can be recovered as someone who posted in it.

Ok, so you’re an admin? Great, then maybe you can help. Could you PLEASE research what happened to that thread and let me know? Reasons why I was upset:

- 30 or so pages and countless hours spent, mostly by me, ID’ing models, for several years

- Hundreds of models ID’d

- 30 or so followers, many of whom had thanked me over the years for my contributions, or asked about this model or that one

- Before your response, no response to a previous Support ticket I filed or anything from my posts on this thread or the previous one. Just nothing.

Re-reading my post, I realize now it sounds a little over the top, and for that I apologize. But hopefully you can understand now why it would be frustrating to lose so much content that I’d carefully curated over the years. And especially to lose it without any follow-up.

So if we can get it back, wonderful. If not, then to at least find out what happened would mean a lot to me. 🙏🏼 As for the DMCA, I can’t imagine what it would be, and Hunkemoller is the only brand listed, whereas I exclusively posted only Orion. 

Whatever you’re able to find, please send me a DM about it. I appreciate you following up. Thanks in advance for your help.

Is it me or does the forum seem a little sluggish / laggy, especially when creating posts?

Cool, thanks. Machine hadnt been rebooted in over a year, so I figured I would start there. Thanks for the update. 

I sent you a message Maddog107. It might be a glitch or a simple issue. 

@maddog107 The board seems to be very slow again tonight and significantly slower than last time.

Update: still a little laggy but much better now.

Im not really sure whats going on. I think I may have to delete/reload the DB. I think that has worked in the past but it takes a while to complete. Maybe I will give it a go this weekend.

It seemed to have slowed down for a couple of hours and then gradually got back to normal.  Thought it might have been some background service maintenance going on or something.  But things are operating normally now.

@maddog107There seems to be a problem with embedded youtube videos. It's a black square. See my post for exemple

edit- all fixed now thanks!!!

It's better that way.  Just post the link.
