Pulled back — living with a bare head

Hello, just wondering if everyone knows what has happened to the gallery. I was able to assert that last week but suddenly not able to.

I have already read the announcement and followed the steps. Thanks

It couldn't be kept with the forum upgrade. Skylar has mentioned it elsewhere. Sadly we have to do without now, but you can still upload images into the main forum.

Sorry, Kylar ... not Skylar.

It's asked and answered here: https://pulledback.org/index.php?topic=4077.0
And it's mentioned in the forum updates thread here: https://pulledback.org/index.php?topic=65.msg27942#msg27942

I think a new gallery can be downloaded here (just tried it and worked):

Should be possible to start over with a new gallery. As this forum exists for so many years, most penises in the gallery were even older than mine Yet do not forget this forum is for free and us beggars can't be choosers. Might be nice to add a donate button on the page. If not for the money than just to show appreciation.

For years the only version that kept turning up was the Pro version which would have cost a ton... which was the reason why I never upgraded the forum in the first place.  Might give it a try and who knows it might work, once I feel like touching the site again.

Nah, the last thing I'd want to deal with in this day and age of payment processors and donation/subscription sites going after anything even remotely not safe for work, is getting donations.

The pro version costs only $49, not a ton. On a sunny day, I would toss it in. Other users as well.

I don't see YOUR problem.

We have an introduction section on the site. What if we simply add the same sub-column there to allow users to add pictures, replacing the gallery?

Pictures is always a risk when you run a site. Depending a lot as well on where someone runs the site from. Because you never know what the cat brings in. Many happy retractors here but it also can attract weird people. On a site that is for free to use. That point is very clear. And lots of respect for the guys who have been keeping this forum up and running for so many years. And keep the floor clean. I signed off, several years ago, then signed up again. Back then, I would get private messages from men who actually wanted to take a plane to check out my member. While I already have someone on the sofa to do that. And if anything is not a public place, it is my penis. The fact you can see mine here in my profile picture is something I would never do on any other site, it is a sign of confidence and respect.

Many years ago, I found the blog of SoundsGreat. Then this forum came. Great work, not just for me, as I suppose I am not the only one with a penis thinking about retracting mostly all the time. Even better because with the update, what works now works a lot better.

What you suggest is not so bad, adding pics in the introduction section. But I think us guys, serious guys, like to compare. So a gallery would be nicer to have.

Again, as I said, when I'll feel like messing with it, I'll take a look at the free edition of the Gallery — which is what we had always used anyway — it's just that I don't want to do hosting stuff right now.  I'll get back to it eventually.  And because it seems like I might have not been too clear about it: the last couple of years whenever updating the forum software came up, all the links pointed to the paid version, I had thought that the free edition was abandoned and discontinued.  I'm glad it isn't!  We don't need any of the paid features, and I didn't want to spend extra money on something I deem unnecessary, so I was (time to time) looking at how to get around the whole issue that the last version we used only supported SMF ancient-dot-whatever.

tl;dr: Nice find, thanks for the link, I'll look into it when I feel like looking at a terminal at home in my free time.

Hi Kylar. Can I assume that the pictures in the old gallery have been deleted?

I have them all, and if I'm not mistaken the relevant database data is also in place. Whether that will be useful for newer versions of the gallery remains to be seen...
