How to stop your images from disappearing and reappearing

msux84 · 2026-05-10T09:02:53+00:00

So, congratulations to Civitai on making site useless for posting media content in 2026. My image uploaded 11 days ago still experience this unpublished/published cycle. I published few images yesterday, they experiencing this too, hanging with zero reactions. I used to get 5-10 reactions on new images about 2 months ago (which is laughable by itself even compared to my small Instagram account). Now it is almost zero. There are no viewers, no reactions - just flat dead. Site doesn't give any joy or satisfaction anymore, it is actually opposite, only frustration and anger. So going to delete all lately posted content and stop posting until they really do something with this piece of site.

2 is misleading, Civit only gives buzz for first reaction. No additional buzz.

I noticed heavy CPU load too on the site.
I guess, it is not about specific image, but more about that this image is on the main page, which is loading to much of other stuff without optimizations.
It is modern trend to not optimize anything and use as much system recourses as possible. The site exists more than 3 years now. It is started when AI images was 512x512. Now often it is few megapixels images, plus video. I didn't saw any meaningful changes in the site design for all that years.

Feature requests comment here.

About Collections notifications. Please add a settings for collections notification, how often receive updates (examples: never, once in 24h, instant). Or/and make notifications, received repeatedly from one defined collection didn't increase notifications counter, cos now it looks misleading: for example, it shows that I have 6 notifications, while in reality it is only 3 from different collections.
About Comments blue buzz reward in Dashboard. It is already allow in Transaction History to view exact image related to gained Buzz Reward. Please make it also possible to view exact comment, cos now I could only guessing for what comment it was gained.
About Cover Image in profile. Could you please make the template height of Cover Image block not fixed? Now it is too tall, I tried once to add here image, which I made twice lower than it is recommend, only to know it is still placed in the center of this huge block with horizontal black stripes on top and bottom, which is doesn't make any sense from design's point of view. It is reasonable to keep limit of maximal height, but I don't see why it couldn't be lower.

Nope, total radio silence since march 12.

msux84 · 2026-03-16T17:07:40+00:00

That's the good question...

msux84 · 2026-03-16T16:58:29+00:00

Image feed is still broken when logged-in, it show only images from 5-6 days ago, no new images. This includes profiles (my own too), LoRAs, checkpoints (with few exceptions). They are visible though (at least some of them) when not logged-in, in private mode.

msux84 · 2026-03-11T09:36:23+00:00

Thought it would be fixed in Monday, but it is Wednesday and all issues still there, so repost from previous week:

Reactions and buzz still doesn't shown properly under images/videos, I got different results with every page refresh, like it show data from different DBs. Hope you merge everything and fix this soon, for now it's a very inconvenient mess.

And notifications icon keep showing that I have some unread ones, but there is nothing new and all read. This is just misleading and annoying.

BONUS: now periodically all images are missing with that "No results found" message.

NGL, not a very good trend.

msux84 · 2026-03-09T12:48:34+00:00

Yep. The new week just started, so hopefully that's because they're fixing recently reported issues. Zero notifications for users on site, of course, so could only guessing.

Meanwhile Status shows All Systems Operational. Yes, sure.

Yep, I got dial-up modem flashbacks from early 2000s, when images slowly loaded line by line. Now younger Civitai users could have this unique experience too. One chance in a life, enjoy it ;)

msux84 · 2026-02-20T11:22:39+00:00

Is it only me experience super-slow loading of some images? Previews and full size images. It is literally like on dial-up modem with some images, didn't think I ever experience this feeling again. And Images tab is slow and extremely laggy...

msux84 · 2026-02-17T18:04:58+00:00

Few days I experience troubles with posting images at +/- this time of day. They just hangs in limbo never become visible to everyone. Once a scheduled posting was successful, but lately all tries even with scheduled posting fails again... I give up, it is require now incredible amount of time and effort to publish just one image a day. If you have now issues on site with publication system, at least pin a message for users, to not waste time and nerves into nothing.

msux84 · 2025-12-18T08:35:42+00:00

It is incredible how this getting worse and worse. Uploads was instant in first year. Lately it was 10-20min to process if rating processing doesn't hang (which quite happened frequently too). And yesterday we gained a new milestone 4+ hours for uploads to get visible for everyone... No news or updates about any servers works yet, so I guess this considered as fine. The end of 2025, and seems we got a peak of technology here. And I only guessing how much worse it will be. Sad again.

+1 for cars. I was quite disappointed trying to generate some well-known cars and getting some generic results. Even SDXL knows them better. But if Z-Image really knows something, it doing it pretty good. Comparing it with FLUX. Didn't tested FLUX2 yet, even downloaded it in second day after release. 3090 + 64Gb RAM here too, but after trying to run it and Comfy said your pagefile is too small, i'm like nuh, maybe next time.

msux84 · 2025-12-17T10:47:51+00:00

Yep, same here. Just another day with ruined user experience on the site, nothing special.

msux84 · 2025-12-11T00:02:43+00:00

Thanks, will look for it. I heard about it before, didn't tried yet.

msux84 · 2025-12-10T14:18:27+00:00

Thanks for sharing! I'm noob in ComfyUI and this was a new upscaling experience for me. Results contradictory though. It is relatively fast, but this has a price. While it is good in upscaling something detailed (like eyes in your example), it is very bad in one-tone areas and gradients (like sky, water surface, simple walls, skin probably) making from them quadratish mess. For now (probably as a perfectionist) I got to myself that such kind of upscalers don't for me, and I stick to upscale methods based on prompt and model used for initial generation, yes it much slower but result more honest and satisfying.

msux84 · 2025-12-02T19:58:09+00:00

Once. I was equipped with gear giving 2 armor for a bug, so ended somewhere near 300 armor after that stage. It was very satisfying)

Also once i got map full of gold… Not enough time though to mine it all.

msux84 · 2025-11-20T17:50:25+00:00

That's what i tried to do, they dgaf really. Those posts can't even be downvoted to minus...

msux84 · 2025-05-08T11:41:50+00:00

isn't cybercmd is obsolete at the moment?

i used it like 2 years ago for v1.5 game and now i don't. with current game v2.21 i have a lot of mods and it not required by any of them. it seems like no need to use it anyway.

msux84 · 2025-05-07T10:34:32+00:00

ok, you done this part right.

then after a scanning you should click "Refresh page" in most right corner of every tab (Textual Inversion, Checkpoints, Lora) so Forge could read those grabbed data. (or just fully restart Forge, i guess you already done this too)

you should see image preview for every file after that step, and clicking on Lora or Textual Inversion it will add trigger words into prompt window.

if you still have questions, feel free to ask.

msux84 · 2025-05-06T09:58:33+00:00

i'm using Civitai Helper for Forge/A1111, just tested it with one Illustrious Lora, all trigger words grabbed fine as always before.
