A thought, as I upload my gallery by SnowyPenguin

Weasyl could use two things, now that I think about them more.

One: A FN-style FA importer. That might be some annoying coding, but I think that really picking up the people who are frustrated with FA is making sure uploading to their galleries here was easy. FN has a lot more emphasis on mass post editing, so that may not even be a thing that could be done without a buttload of coding. But even if under the "submit art" screen, you could put in an individual FA submission page, and it'd pull the picture's tags, description, and image file without having to copypaste everything individually, then let you tweak it. That would save half the time right there.

Two: An expansion of the "Characters" feature. Right now, they're just regular submissions, with a few more info fields and a special folder. That's nice, but what if I have a SFW and NSFW refsheet? Should that be two characters? Or what if I had a picture that had one important tweak on it, should I leave that in my submissions and link it, where it probably won't be noticed? I think the characters feature were more like a mini-folder, where it would accommodate multiple image files with the same description (and possibly brief subtitles on each one). That way, I could put my SFW and NSFW refsheets under one heading, and it'd be easier for artists, rather than opening up a whole bunch of links for people whose references are scattered.

Overall good site, just needs more traffic.

    Weasyl is going to be making their source code open source if you had not see the update for that yet.

      Yeah, I've seen it. Now if only I knew code more complex than HTML/CSS :p

    So one thing that might be useful for you. In the Chrome app store, there's an app called Waxpost that we manage. It puts a Weasyl icon in the address bar for submission pages on a bunch of different sites. Click that and it starts a new submission, copying description, image, tags, etc over. It only works for images but that might help!

      That definitely seems useful. I'll check it out, thanks!
