It's fixed now, the access denied problem is gone! And just know, if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm often available to talk on certain platforms
Dear Yuni, I think it's a very good and correct idea to directly ask viewers to leave comments.
Look, all YouTube content creators always ask viewers to leave a comment and a like if they like the content and want to support the creator.
I think it would be very useful to put a message on the site directly asking viewers to leave a comment if they liked the image, and a short explanation of why it's so important to you, the author.
It would be better to put this message not on the first page, but right next to each image in the most visible place. Maybe before the 18+ message. I think this message would be useful in any case. It will be a reminder to people who care, or who just consider themselves polite people. Sasha M
P.S. Please don't disappear. I'm very worried about you.
It's kinda hard to leave comments when everything is "Access denied". Even all the pages that I have left comments on in the past are off limits. How does this new system actually work as there is no way to register as a user/member?
Sorry for that little prank with access, I was just fed up with the concept that one could opt out from supporting the site completely while still reaping all the same content as those who invest hours writing feedback and trying to help...
It's just unfair, but ultimately I chose to accept that everyone has their own different situations, some have to labor in coal mines, some are stuck on a desert island without internet connection, some are cats and can't type to save their life, and trying to pin guilt upon them will only make ME feel bad in the end.
I hate to be forced to do anything unpleasant, so I decided to keep struggling and providing my stuff for free. And you guys should also try to provide your stuff for free - your thoughts, ideas, time etc. We all win this way.
Hi Yuni. I have the same problem as below comment. No matter how I tweak the swtiches in the Setting Page, there are always many "Access Denied". Is there anything I missed, please?
My apologies for the inconvenience, but I thought it would be good to show some appreciation to those who make an effort to share their comments on my content. People who never comment will only have access to the latest updates. And your comment counts as well, so you should be able to view everything just like before π
Sorry to bother ... but it seems that all of the NSFW images now show Access Denied. Tis a shame, really, as all of your images are gorgeous. You've even inspired me and given me confidence to start posting my own work on DA. Here's hoping they all return in their *cough* naked *cough* glory.
Sorry about that, but I figured it'd be cool to give some extra love to those who take the time to leave comments on my stuff. People who don't comment won't get to see much besides the most recent posts. And of course this comment counts, so you should be able to see all the stuff like before ^^
It might be just me, but is there any reason why almost all the pictures give a "no permission to view" warning instead of showing?
My apologies but I thought it would be nice to show more appreciation to those who take the time to comment on my works. Visitors who never comment won't be able to see anything except the latest updates.
And by the way, your comment counts, so you should be able to see everything as usual now.
Huh, it keeps saying "access denied" when I try to look at NSFW pics even though I have the settings set to "super kinky"
I'm sorry to hear that Valri, let me know if it doesn't get fixed immediately :o
Suddenly all images are "Access denied" :( Is it some temporary maintenance or I am banned?
You are definitely not banned! You are one of my most respected commenters, always commenting on each picture and never said anything bad to me! π€―
I am indeed testing some new weapons of mass distraction... So please let me know if the problem persists... Normally, you should immediately get full access after posting even 1 comment...
THANKS for listening once again :) everything seems to work now including merged galleries.
The older ways to style web are usually as you said simpler and works better. If there is ever super new browser functionality beyond showing html, images, videos, music then I won't nagg you to ommit it dont worry X-)
In fact, the Firefox from 2018 is not so old, browsers have pretty much plateaued since then. I mean, there's nothing more you can do in 2024 than what was already possible back in 2018.
I've been building websites for as long as IE6 has existed and it was a huge problem, then MSIE fell from grace and Google Chrome made everything work like it should, but it's not like there has been a great evolution since then. I can't think of a website that works only in Chrome 131 and couldn't be implemented to work in the earliest versions of Chrome.
It's like Minecraft, we have v21 now, but you could play v1 or Beta for virtually the same experience if not better. You could punch trees, build a "house", fight off creepers. Everything they did in later versions feels like mods on top of that base game, not some fundamental evolution.
But I'm not advocating for outdated browsers, even on my retro-laptop I install the latest versions because they're faster and take up less memory. And if you're concerned about Google's malware and their recent co-ops with the US military, there's Ungoogled Chromium which is pretty much what Chrome should be without a single line of code by Google and without any auto-updates:
For me, the left menu has always worked perfectly. Although I do not use browsers that were developed by Archimedes himself in ancient times. :-P I think that this classic type of menu is most convenient for desktops and laptops.
And I am very glad that I can see all the art in one gallery again. Thank you! Nudity and sex in art is the most normal topic of all. Religious, conservative people are so pathetic. They have fun with wars, but they don't want to see people giving each other pleasure. You gave them settings and turned off erotica by default. I am sure that is enough.
They hide behind their religion like cockroaches under the fridge in a rotting house that should have been demolished long ago. The worst and most dangerous people on earth have the highest level of power and they're not ashamed to exploit it in the most disgusting and cynical ways. You're left with no other choice but to build walls over walls to have the most basic protection from this walking human waste.
Enjoying nudity and sex in art as something normal should be a privilege of the gods who bless this planet with their divine presence, not a right of the random Tom and Jerry, whose infantile beliefs forbid even the existence of various inconvenient parts of the body.
Iam still orienting in new layout so I might missed something. But here are some impressions hope they help. Spliting normal art and erotic art into two categories kinda looks like second named is something well secondary :( if you feel that way it is ok but if you do it because someone is leaving shit comments it is bad .-/ If I may suggest - when user sets options to "kinky" level arts should merge into one gallery like they used to be. In normal mode they can be separate to not waste your work.
Secondly that left menu is "janky" or how to say it jumps here and there if it was possible I would like to be option in options to keep it "up" without moving when scrolling.
Iam almost sure I forgot something X-) Thanks for listening to feedback.
Thanks for reporting the issue, Shifty! It's really strange that in old browsers, scrolling with the keyboard is fine, but once you drag the scrollbar with the mouse everything freezes until you release the button. However, I just changed the implementation of that side menu to a much simpler approach, which seems to work as intended in both old and new browsers.
I've also added an option to merge the Safe and NSFW galleries into one, but this is not the intended behavior. The reason for separating them was the new series of FleX-Men, which I didn't want to show right next to explicit content. I was considering creating a whole new website for safe content that doesn't belong in the adult gallery, but then I thought that using a side menu could be a good way to have multiple galleries on one site without mixing them up. I never considered that it might make some people think that the NSFW Gallery is "secondary" - to me it just made things more convenient. But of course, I respect those who prefer the old behavior and don't want changes.
Speaking of bad comments, we now have a powerful banhammer tool that doesn't need cookies or IP addresses to block bad actors. However, I rarely ever receive comments that I need to delete - 99.9% of people are nice!
I really enjoy you unique work. True masterpieces!
Character page is very nice and you take effort to create all those cute thumbnails! Yet Iam missing "comment" section in top bar now. It allowed for quick check of new replies and such.
Thanks a lot! I've always wanted to make some adorable anime portraits instead of just cropping their faces out of actual pics, so I finally figured out a way to stylize the cropped pictures in an anime style. But my biggest goal rn is making them look good, rather than like well-known images with just an anime face slapped over them ;D
I hope they'll turn out great in the end - it's also a good exercise for me to better understand their image because it's often tricky to tell if it's Yasha or Leslie, etc.
And yeah, I've noticed the issue not being able to easily access different sections, so I tried to fix that problem :P
Thank you! The character page is very useful. How else would I know that Sarah and Kyle are the most lewd characters in the gallery: they have no safe images at all! :D Seriously, I think this is very good. And now the main page menu has room for a couple more sections if needed. Like music, videos, or games.
I'm really happy that you encouraged me to finally add the character page and that I came up with this idea of tiers to give it a more structured look... The ranking of characters will naturally change as their pictures get more views than others. But hey, I was right, there are 4 times more characters on this site than in the English alphabet! ;D
The most daring decision was to replace the main menu with this folder-like structure... But I think folders are more fitting for a contortion website, and with this kind of flexibility we can now have unlimited sections :D
Speaking of an SFW account, it's not always what you think. Many people watch Twitter in public places and they just don't want erotica or porn to appear on their smartphone screen at the wrong time and place. But given your fairly reasonable skepticism about Twitter, it's probably just extra work.
It seems like it's not me who needs to make an SFW account, it's them who need to make a separate account for looking at porn.
Yuni, I see you've decided to give twitter another try. I think if you're going to give it a try, you should at least keep it up for a few months. Post new and classic content a couple of times a week, add more relevant hashtags, occasionally post censored (or cropped) adult content, linking to the full version on your site. I'm not very good at this sort of thing. I'm just saying what I've seen from other artists trying to find more viewers for their work.
Oh, that would be too much hassle trying to optimize things. I only joined because I thought almost every contortion artists I know has a Twitter so would be nice to have a kind of portfolio too. But I have no interest in a twitter fanbase or anything.
I only value the comments on my site because I can back them up and know they will never be lost, but when trusting anything to social platforms it's never transparent what they will allow themselves to do tomorrow - will some random noname mod delete your post or your whole account? Will they suddenly ban your VPN so you can no longer access the entire platform, like Instagram, Facebook and DeviantArt do frequently? It's never made clear, they just reserve the right to do whatever they want with your data without any kind of diplomacy. It's like a cop who can simply knock and search your house without a warrant just because he felt like it.
The twitter account itself is no more than a banner on the trafficked road, today it's there, tomorrow it's not, its only function to point toward where you can look at my stuff if you like. It feels like a waste of time to invest into growing a fanbase on the road, or optimizing an account that is there today and no longer there tomorrow.
Now it seems alright I would not change anything :-D People probably didnt commented because at least for me it was just buggy...
It works now and honestly the previous version was already ok :)
Okay, I'm just trying to make it easier to use the site, I thought it would be easier to bookmark a page that contains all your settings, but for some reason this change led to a huge drop in views and I didn't get a single comment in 2 days, so decided to roll back to the version that worked better :P
Apparently for a visitor it's easier to click a few settings than have a lot of garbage in the URL, or maybe the long URL looked too scary, I dunno I still have no idea what was wrong but I guess it's best to use the version that works... Now with Git I can at least easily track all changes and even backup the database and comments every day and go back to any previous state if I mess up, making things finally unbreakable as can be :D
I liked the settings page as it looked recently. The detailed descriptions gave each visitor the opportunity to make a fully informed choice about what they wanted to see. But on the other hand, if you don't use cookies, then if you send someone a full link to an erotic image, they might not get a window with a warning about NSFW and a request to confirm their age. Personally, I would combine the settings window with detailed descriptions (as you did a couple of days ago) and the use of cookies as it is now.
I agree with your thoughts about having too much information in the links, and you're right that the Settings page looked better and more informative in that recent update. I'll try to integrate these ideas into the next update of the website I'm working on...
But I must add that I did not included stories (!) if I did so many older pictures would be on top of the list. And also in other pictures there is so much positive energy and other things that it is really hard to chose ie Lichards jizzum is just so original...
Alright I did it - made personal "Best of" hitparade of you aigenerated images. It is really hard to pick most favorite pictures but hey I tried... I ommited some which looked more like 3D or classical so this is by no means complete list. Just my favourite aiimages from your collection
And those last 3 are my most favorite. It might be that classical models just didnt had full range of colors/complexity. But those newer finaly allow you to flex your muscles :)
I hope you do like the picks it is just my personal list nothing more it was good to review all your works from past few years in one go!
And re: controversial themes, there is no reason to be afraid. To be honest, I don't even get why these are controversial. Whoever's attacking you for it is absolutely in the wrong.
To be honest, re: Yasha and Andrzej, I came up with an idea regarding a cultural belief in some spheres, which is the idea of the spirits of legendary figures reflecting themselves in people who are born later, even in multiple people at once. So the reappearances of, say, Yasha or Andrzej aren't exactly the same person, just similar-looking people who were thought to be reflections of the original Yasha and Andrzej and raised as that.
What's with characters like Yasha and Andrzej not seeming to have a consistent place within Yunia? I feel like every time we see them and there's lore, they have a different role and backstory.
Yeah, exactly.... They're like two homeless boys who sleep in the park, while pretending to be princes, mages and adventurers in daylight to keep their spirits up. It's quite phenomenal how every small character has their own story but these two keep on re-inventing themselves in every single post. I feel like I should give them a proper storyline but they've already had so many that the only way to write about them is to make a new story every time...
Just so you know, when you had the "old site" bit, you (accidentally?) ended up making the ultra kinky art like "The Path of Maulrath" impossible to view. It's fixed now, but. Just letting you know
I'm afraid it was intentional, I decided to remove the ultra kinky art from the site but then decided to put it back again later. Sometimes it feels like something just isn't worth sharing because of scarse feedback or overly controversial themes, so I remove it. I have a full offline version of the site for myself, but sometimes I prefer not to share certain things online.
I'm impressed by what you've done on Yunia! It's actually the basis for my own setting containing my own interpretation of some of the same ideas
I'm glad you found some inspiration in my work! I'm still trying to think how to properly organize this world as a wiki but it's been a difficult task. Many things have a lot of conflicting versions, many things seem completely unnecessary or uninteresting, and many things are not even known at all...
Hi Yuni:
Long time fan of your work. I particularly love the contortion / missing limbs hybrids. I don't recall but do you have a Patreon?
Thanks so much for your kind words. I'm glad you enjoy my work! I don't have any plans to join Patreon, I'm just a private person who enjoys sharing some of my works online.
Yuni, I don't think this commenter wanted to offend you. I hope he/she didn't. It's just that people who aren't creative don't always understand how much imagination, effort and time it takes to create something truly original, special and unusual.
Also, not all people are good at expressing their thoughts. I often screw up too, so I'll try to formulate my question very carefully and thoroughly:
Is there anything I can personally do to prevent you from "gradually deleting" your old classic super kinky/extreme works, but rather to encourage you to "gradually bring back" the old ones and publish new ones?
I'm sure Shifty and your other regular viewers and commenters would also be happy to know how they can help.
PS I thought you were deleting some kinky pictures because of self-censorship or because you yourself haven't been very interested in making sex/kinky pictures in recent years. But I never thought you were deleting them because of lack of interest. Look, super hot picture of Yasha and Andrzej ( yuni.us/the-unseen-footage ) has more comments than most others and is still at the top of views. And some of the comments on this picture are very cute and passionate, in my opinion.
PPS I understand you don't have enough time and energy to answer all the comments, but I really, really hope you answer this one!
Thank you very much for your kind words and helpful suggestions. I really appreciate them! It's true that sometimes people can be misunderstood or taken the wrong way, so it's important to clarify things...
I'm glad you've noticed how much people enjoy certain images, like The Unseen Footage... It shows me that there is a demand for such works, which encourages me to continue creating them ;D
Regarding your question about what you can do to prevent me from deleting my old classic super kinky/extreme works, but rather encourage me to gradually bring back the old ones and publish new ones... I think it's great that you're asking this. It shows a genuine interest in my work and a desire to support me. Next time I'm about to delete something, I'll try to remember your question and think about it before doing so. Your support means a lot to me! Even if I can't always control my feelings and emotions while dealing with negative comments from jerks...
besides all the good stuff thats already been said i think its a shame that you kinda moved from the more extreme kink stuff towards the tamer content you do now
To understand that you have to ask yourself why I might have started making anything extreme in the past. I did that because it was interesting and there were people who actually liked it back in the dark prehistoric times, so it was fun to make.
In the recent years, I've tried many times to keep sharing something interesting and extreme and every single time everyone simply ignores it, turning their noses like it's some smelly shit. The only shame is accusations like this - assumptions that I must sit there for hours a day, making some free extreme art for you while you don't need to move a finger other than 1click to open and close my webpage. Beautiful life, keep it up!
So if you lose something good in your life, always blame it on yourself. On my part, I keep making more extreme art but I won't share it anymore, I'm also gradually taking down old extreme works. Nobody is guilty here but you - again, on my part, I keep making free art every day and I've never asked for anything in all these 20 years, other than a few simple comments. I don't want to post stuff and then feel like an idiot for posting it because everybody just turns their noses.
Yuni, on the one hand, you are right, of course. Especially since this will require technical changes to the site.
But on the other hand, it can be much more difficult to systematize a large amount of material than to create a Yunipedia section and add new subsections and articles to it one by one (as needed).
For example, if you have materials about L'amouriel, it is much easier to immediately create a "Yunia/Pantheon/L'amouriel" subsection (or hierarchical tags) and collect materials there too, than to display them only in the main timeline, where you yourself can lose them over time.
I mean, I accidentally found a page about the god L'amouriel when I was looking for pictures of archers. And now I would like to read the texts and look at images of other gods, but I just don't know if there is any information on this topic on the site or not yet.
It would be easier for you yourself when all new materials are added in a systematic way. And you can always refresh your memory with the necessary information.
For the development of a new world, the online encyclopedia format is much more suitable than a blog. At the same time, the main blog can continue to display absolutely all new works, regardless of whether they are related to the Yunia project or not. Sasha M
PS Thank you very much for continuing to improve the site! Sorting by year and best pictures of the year is a very nice and convenient addition.
Thank you very much for your feedback and suggestions!
I agree with you that the current structure of the site can sometimes be confusing and it's often hard to find a specific post, while older posts tend to vanish into oblivion.
I've considered making a wiki-like system many times, but every time it's very hard to think of the structure. I remember the last time I tried dividing Yunia to kingdoms and describing each of them, it ended up being a lot of information, and as usual I got the impression that nobody was impressed... XD
So I'm still on the way to find the right structure that would be helpful instead of feeling unnecessary...
The new site logo (with the unicorn) looks so beautiful and festive
Thank you so much!! :D I was really surprised it didn't look off in the end :D
Yuni, sorry about Twitter. I was just trying to be helpful.
I see with annoyance that often much less talented artists have large and very large audiences on Twitter. They just put as much effort into promoting their art as they do into the art itself: they interact with each other, exchange links and likes, post their art in thematic community channels, and on other sites and social networks, sometimes even hire professionals to promote their art.
And don't judge me too harshly. What if one day I come up with a really good idea, and I won't tell you because I'll be afraid to anger you. ^^
I would love to see more pictures about contortions.
I remember. We all do. So much so that we're thinking of doing an entire section dedicated just to your precious little requests. The whole team at Yunius is working tirelessly to meet your expectations, don't worry. We are putting everything together and making sure it's exactly how you want it. Just for you, because we know you have such high standards. Keep in touch! You already said the same thing like 10 times - don't hesitate to tell us again and again how important it is to make things for your own personal amusement. You truly inspire us!
In the grim dorkness of the 41 millennium there is only contortion.
This is exactly why I told Sasha M it was a bad idea posting on Twitter. All my predictions are always coming true in the end but nobody ever listens to me.
Dear Yuni, thank you for your art I am following your journey for at least ten years and every time I am stunned with your creativity Please keep on Your art means a lot for many people
<3 Your art Yuni. I've always liked contortion which was how I ended up finding your content years ago. You aren't just a niche flexibility artist though, your characters have always been so appealing such beautiful feminie guys. I used to comment on everything but I thought it was a bit spammy so I only comment sometimes these days, especially given how busy you are you can't always respond.
Hey, what was with that short period of time where all your main art was on the "Old site"?
I was trying to think of the case when someone unwanted (e.g. an intrusive ISP provider) may want to check what's that "yuni.us" site people are visiting - and when they check the site, all they would see is some cute AI art. And people who know that they actually want to see contortion and everything would check the settings, see the "Old version" and try it out, hoping to get back the old view - and they would indeed get back to the usual site this way.
However, most people were unable to find the way to get back to the usual site and assumed that I simply wiped all my content and replaced it with garbage, so I had to return to the less secure but more accessible version.
Ideally, I know I need to implement logins and user accounts instead of just "security by obscurity", but I don't want to collect people's email addresses, since any server can potentially be hacked, so I choose to not collect any data in the first place.
I really like the new Random page. There are always some pleasant surprises there. π
Thank you so much!! It's fun for me as well because I've never had this kind of function before, and I tend to have a bad memory of older works, so it's quite enjoyable to look at them π
I love your art, Yuni! Me, personally, I always wish you'd do more foot focused stuff:3
I've followed your work for many years, starting on DA back who knows when. Obviously there is some work I like better than others, but overall I think it's great, or I wouldn't still be here!
I have enjoyed your work for many years and yes, I do have favorites, especially Martin, Yasha, Amtril, Faelerin, and Yralan. Would I offer counsel to Matisse or Rembrandt regarding a direction with their art, if they were still among us? No, and I won't interfere with whatever muse is guiding you in your work, for it seems to serve you very well. In whatever direction your work is headed I intend to be there, to enjoy it.
Hello, I like your pictures very much and I'm always happy when there is something new to discover. I missed rubber wrestling with Wolfy and Helmut at the Olympics. Rubber wrestling is an Olympic discipline, isn't it? π
I love your work and have been a fan for some time. Glad you are able to do more with your own website without DeviantArt's restrictions. As a fan if NBM, I would like to see more of your realism in that area, but really just keep up the fantastic work!
Thank you, Yuni! I really appreciate you deciding to add an "Updated" section to your site. I still adore your old images and some of them I've never even seen before. So I'm really happy every time you bring them back to the site, even if you think some of them don't look as good as you'd like.
When I first created Yuni.us in 2016 or 2018 (I believe), I actually had a lot of old works to upload, but I only managed to upload about 60% of them or so, then gave up as I thought nobody would be interested in seeing them. Might need to revisit my archive, see if I missed anything interesting. Actually I didn't bother uploading them mainly because they wouldn't appear on the main page and would be super hard to find, but now with the "updated" section it might be worthwhile ^^ (though I doubt there are any truly exceptional old pics... XD)
Your drawings are truly superb. I really like your works. Thank you for this magnificent achievement. Maxime
I have loved your art for so many years now Yuni, and although my love for all your crafting skills and work is as shigh as ever, I wish you'd spend some time with your lesser characters, like Falaerin. Please, please, please! =)
I really enjoy your characters missing body parts yet still being incredibly flexible, like Jack and Sam Simons, I hope we'll see them return some day :)
Ok! I understand not wanting to do instant messaging, I hope you are doing good as of late! -Valri
I am really enjoying your art to the fullest! Itβs one of the things I check every morning and I feel your art is a great way to start my dayπ I truly hope more is comingβ¦π
Thank you very much! π Yes, I do have some pictures that are almost ready, I'm just picking the best ones to finish and post, while working on improving the others that aren't so good yet. So there will definitely be more to come! :D
yuni i love u
What ever happened to that discord server? Also would you mind being my friend again on discord or Telegram? I sent you a note on FA with my discord id -Valri
The Discord server I started back in 2021 only lasted like a month or so, because I wanted to see what it's like, and I saw what it's like, and was like no thanks... XD I'm not in the best of shape for chatting on instant messengers at this point, I hope you don't mind ^^;
One of your older works, Mirror World, seems to have disappeared from your gallery. What happened?
I didn't like how the head and hair were drawn, it's a difficult angle, so I felt like removing the picture, but I just restored it now: yuni.us/mirror-world
Look, all YouTube content creators always ask viewers to leave a comment and a like if they like the content and want to support the creator.
I think it would be very useful to put a message on the site directly asking viewers to leave a comment if they liked the image, and a short explanation of why it's so important to you, the author.
It would be better to put this message not on the first page, but right next to each image in the most visible place. Maybe before the 18+ message.
I think this message would be useful in any case. It will be a reminder to people who care, or who just consider themselves polite people.
Sasha M
P.S. Please don't disappear. I'm very worried about you.
It's just unfair, but ultimately I chose to accept that everyone has their own different situations, some have to labor in coal mines, some are stuck on a desert island without internet connection, some are cats and can't type to save their life, and trying to pin guilt upon them will only make ME feel bad in the end.
I hate to be forced to do anything unpleasant, so I decided to keep struggling and providing my stuff for free. And you guys should also try to provide your stuff for free - your thoughts, ideas, time etc. We all win this way.
And by the way, your comment counts, so you should be able to see everything as usual now.
I am indeed testing some new weapons of mass distraction... So please let me know if the problem persists... Normally, you should immediately get full access after posting even 1 comment...
The older ways to style web are usually as you said simpler and works better. If there is ever super new browser functionality beyond showing html, images, videos, music then I won't nagg you to ommit it dont worry X-)
I've been building websites for as long as IE6 has existed and it was a huge problem, then MSIE fell from grace and Google Chrome made everything work like it should, but it's not like there has been a great evolution since then. I can't think of a website that works only in Chrome 131 and couldn't be implemented to work in the earliest versions of Chrome.
It's like Minecraft, we have v21 now, but you could play v1 or Beta for virtually the same experience if not better. You could punch trees, build a "house", fight off creepers. Everything they did in later versions feels like mods on top of that base game, not some fundamental evolution.
But I'm not advocating for outdated browsers, even on my retro-laptop I install the latest versions because they're faster and take up less memory. And if you're concerned about Google's malware and their recent co-ops with the US military, there's Ungoogled Chromium which is pretty much what Chrome should be without a single line of code by Google and without any auto-updates:
Github: github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium
Binaries: ungoogled-software.github.io/ungoogled-chromium-binaries
I think that this classic type of menu is most convenient for desktops and laptops.
And I am very glad that I can see all the art in one gallery again. Thank you! Nudity and sex in art is the most normal topic of all. Religious, conservative people are so pathetic. They have fun with wars, but they don't want to see people giving each other pleasure. You gave them settings and turned off erotica by default. I am sure that is enough.
Enjoying nudity and sex in art as something normal should be a privilege of the gods who bless this planet with their divine presence, not a right of the random Tom and Jerry, whose infantile beliefs forbid even the existence of various inconvenient parts of the body.
Spliting normal art and erotic art into two categories kinda looks like second named is something well secondary :( if you feel that way it is ok but if you do it because someone is leaving shit comments it is bad .-/
If I may suggest - when user sets options to "kinky" level arts should merge into one gallery like they used to be. In normal mode they can be separate to not waste your work.
Secondly that left menu is "janky" or how to say it jumps here and there if it was possible I would like to be option in options to keep it "up" without moving when scrolling.
Iam almost sure I forgot something X-)
Thanks for listening to feedback.
I've also added an option to merge the Safe and NSFW galleries into one, but this is not the intended behavior. The reason for separating them was the new series of FleX-Men, which I didn't want to show right next to explicit content. I was considering creating a whole new website for safe content that doesn't belong in the adult gallery, but then I thought that using a side menu could be a good way to have multiple galleries on one site without mixing them up. I never considered that it might make some people think that the NSFW Gallery is "secondary" - to me it just made things more convenient. But of course, I respect those who prefer the old behavior and don't want changes.
Speaking of bad comments, we now have a powerful banhammer tool that doesn't need cookies or IP addresses to block bad actors. However, I rarely ever receive comments that I need to delete - 99.9% of people are nice!
Yet Iam missing "comment" section in top bar now. It allowed for quick check of new replies and such.
I hope they'll turn out great in the end - it's also a good exercise for me to better understand their image because it's often tricky to tell if it's Yasha or Leslie, etc.
And yeah, I've noticed the issue not being able to easily access different sections, so I tried to fix that problem :P
Seriously, I think this is very good. And now the main page menu has room for a couple more sections if needed. Like music, videos, or games.
The most daring decision was to replace the main menu with this folder-like structure... But I think folders are more fitting for a contortion website, and with this kind of flexibility we can now have unlimited sections :D
I only value the comments on my site because I can back them up and know they will never be lost, but when trusting anything to social platforms it's never transparent what they will allow themselves to do tomorrow - will some random noname mod delete your post or your whole account? Will they suddenly ban your VPN so you can no longer access the entire platform, like Instagram, Facebook and DeviantArt do frequently? It's never made clear, they just reserve the right to do whatever they want with your data without any kind of diplomacy. It's like a cop who can simply knock and search your house without a warrant just because he felt like it.
The twitter account itself is no more than a banner on the trafficked road, today it's there, tomorrow it's not, its only function to point toward where you can look at my stuff if you like. It feels like a waste of time to invest into growing a fanbase on the road, or optimizing an account that is there today and no longer there tomorrow.
People probably didnt commented because at least for me it was just buggy...
Apparently for a visitor it's easier to click a few settings than have a lot of garbage in the URL, or maybe the long URL looked too scary, I dunno I still have no idea what was wrong but I guess it's best to use the version that works... Now with Git I can at least easily track all changes and even backup the database and comments every day and go back to any previous state if I mess up, making things finally unbreakable as can be :D
But on the other hand, if you don't use cookies, then if you send someone a full link to an erotic image, they might not get a window with a warning about NSFW and a request to confirm their age.
Personally, I would combine the settings window with detailed descriptions (as you did a couple of days ago) and the use of cookies as it is now.

I hope you do like the picks it is just my personal list nothing more it was good to review all your works from past few years in one go!
Long time fan of your work. I particularly love the contortion / missing limbs hybrids. I don't recall but do you have a Patreon?
Also, not all people are good at expressing their thoughts. I often screw up too, so I'll try to formulate my question very carefully and thoroughly:
Is there anything I can personally do to prevent you from "gradually deleting" your old classic super kinky/extreme works, but rather to encourage you to "gradually bring back" the old ones and publish new ones?
I'm sure Shifty and your other regular viewers and commenters would also be happy to know how they can help.
PS I thought you were deleting some kinky pictures because of self-censorship or because you yourself haven't been very interested in making sex/kinky pictures in recent years. But I never thought you were deleting them because of lack of interest. Look, super hot picture of Yasha and Andrzej ( yuni.us/the-unseen-footage ) has more comments than most others and is still at the top of views. And some of the comments on this picture are very cute and passionate, in my opinion.
Please just tell me if there's anything I can do to keep you sharing pictures like these and I will:

PPS I understand you don't have enough time and energy to answer all the comments, but I really, really hope you answer this one!
I'm glad you've noticed how much people enjoy certain images, like The Unseen Footage... It shows me that there is a demand for such works, which encourages me to continue creating them ;D
Regarding your question about what you can do to prevent me from deleting my old classic super kinky/extreme works, but rather encourage me to gradually bring back the old ones and publish new ones... I think it's great that you're asking this. It shows a genuine interest in my work and a desire to support me. Next time I'm about to delete something, I'll try to remember your question and think about it before doing so. Your support means a lot to me! Even if I can't always control my feelings and emotions while dealing with negative comments from jerks...
In the recent years, I've tried many times to keep sharing something interesting and extreme and every single time everyone simply ignores it, turning their noses like it's some smelly shit. The only shame is accusations like this - assumptions that I must sit there for hours a day, making some free extreme art for you while you don't need to move a finger other than 1click to open and close my webpage. Beautiful life, keep it up!
So if you lose something good in your life, always blame it on yourself. On my part, I keep making more extreme art but I won't share it anymore, I'm also gradually taking down old extreme works. Nobody is guilty here but you - again, on my part, I keep making free art every day and I've never asked for anything in all these 20 years, other than a few simple comments. I don't want to post stuff and then feel like an idiot for posting it because everybody just turns their noses.
Yuni, on the one hand, you are right, of course. Especially since this will require technical changes to the site.
But on the other hand, it can be much more difficult to systematize a large amount of material than to create a Yunipedia section and add new subsections and articles to it one by one (as needed).
For example, if you have materials about L'amouriel, it is much easier to immediately create a "Yunia/Pantheon/L'amouriel" subsection (or hierarchical tags) and collect materials there too, than to display them only in the main timeline, where you yourself can lose them over time.
I mean, I accidentally found a page about the god L'amouriel when I was looking for pictures of archers. And now I would like to read the texts and look at images of other gods, but I just don't know if there is any information on this topic on the site or not yet.
It would be easier for you yourself when all new materials are added in a systematic way. And you can always refresh your memory with the necessary information.
For the development of a new world, the online encyclopedia format is much more suitable than a blog. At the same time, the main blog can continue to display absolutely all new works, regardless of whether they are related to the Yunia project or not.

PS Thank you very much for continuing to improve the site! Sorting by year and best pictures of the year is a very nice and convenient addition.
I agree with you that the current structure of the site can sometimes be confusing and it's often hard to find a specific post, while older posts tend to vanish into oblivion.
I've considered making a wiki-like system many times, but every time it's very hard to think of the structure. I remember the last time I tried dividing Yunia to kingdoms and describing each of them, it ended up being a lot of information, and as usual I got the impression that nobody was impressed... XD
So I'm still on the way to find the right structure that would be helpful instead of feeling unnecessary...
I see with annoyance that often much less talented artists have large and very large audiences on Twitter. They just put as much effort into promoting their art as they do into the art itself: they interact with each other, exchange links and likes, post their art in thematic community channels, and on other sites and social networks, sometimes even hire professionals to promote their art.
And don't judge me too harshly. What if one day I come up with a really good idea, and I won't tell you because I'll be afraid to anger you. ^^
I am following your journey for at least ten years and every time I am stunned with your creativity
Please keep on
Your art means a lot for many people
However, most people were unable to find the way to get back to the usual site and assumed that I simply wiped all my content and replaced it with garbage, so I had to return to the less secure but more accessible version.
Ideally, I know I need to implement logins and user accounts instead of just "security by obscurity", but I don't want to collect people's email addresses, since any server can potentially be hacked, so I choose to not collect any data in the first place.
Me, personally, I always wish you'd do more foot focused stuff:3
Thank you for this magnificent achievement.
