There, you've answered one of your own questions. What could be better? Make the uploading of text easier would be nice. It's been so long since I tried it, I have to take your word for it here.
I differ with the notion that FA is a clone of DA. In DA, I haven't the faintest idea where to browse the newest art or look at the new stuff from artists I like. Not even one clue - that's why I don't go there anymore. But FA tells me at login how many journals and images are waiting for me, right there on the top right of the screen. And the word "Browse" is easy to find, too. If FA is a clone, the DA got all the evil genes.
Could be that having a Reduced webpage with only a couple of buttons (unless you click on the Full Function button) would make an art site much easier to use. Reduce the basic functionality to the following:
View my Favorite artists and journals View all new art Search for artist My Page / uploads View Random Artist Full Functionality (switchs to the more complex screen)
This would cover 90% of what furry viewers need in a page. A more user friendly interface may be the key, provided you can have all the functions back again with a press of the button for those who need them.
