Can't enable Nsfw settings

Hi, I was trying to enable nsfw content on my phone and people said I needed to do it in the browser so I went and checked and it wouldn't let me change the settings there either, nothing happened when I clicked "E+R18+R18G" just didn't switch...???

Home page IOS App problems

I don’t know if anyone else is having this issue but r-18 content doesn’t show up on my recommended home page. I changed my settings and my age is valid but it still won’t be recommended to me. I still see it on the explore tab when I search for it but never on my home tab. I would greatly appreciate any help.

anyone have experience with fanbox, how subs drop off and then join every month, the cycles? also tips?

I have only been using fanbox for 3 months and Im trying really hard to understand the cycles, I'm not sure but I think fanbox has a rule where if you join close to the end of the month you still get charged for the full month , so there's a huge dis-insensitive for people to join towards the end of a month, I know im not nuts, my fanbox is very dead towards the end of the month, I also lose a ton of subs around the last 3 days of the month, but i regain a lot the following month, they tend to trickle in, I don't have a ton of supporters (about 200) but I'm curious if there anyone has insight on this and what are some tips to manage/encourage more supporters. I tend to save big projects towards the beginning of the Month, like animations or comic pages.

Pixiv Slow and Sluggish tonight?

All evening Pixiv's been taking awhile to load images or not loading them at all, both as thumbnails and on the image page itself. No idea what caused this, my internet seems to be fine. ISP's East Coast Comcast if that's important.

Ci-en dlsite = fanbox?

Sorry if oot but recently i found some artists uploaded their paid works to a website named ci-en dlsite, example like this artist. My question is, does this website have same system like fanbox with one plan you can see all the contents or is it more like fantia which also have limit like their 'back number'?

Question about pixiv request

Hi all, it's my first time doing a pixiv request and I just wanted to ask here to be sure.

I paid the money and sent a request 3 days ago, but the artist still hasn't approved it, even though he posted a new artwork. Is this normal? If by any chance it doesn't get accepted after 7 days, would it be completely alright if I send it again?

I just don't want to be a nuisance to the artist if anything. Thank you. (The artist is japanese)

I have to rant about systems like Fantia's back numbers

It's genuinely like the most scummy thing ever. I understand the argument of "its not fair if you can subscribe and get access to everything!" Well that really shouldn't matter if you ask me. Artists should definitely be able to make a living off their work but I as a paying customer shouldn't be forced to pay each and every month to see the new drawings. It's stupid. It doesn't help some artists don't put up good previews so you're really taking a gamble on getting back numbers. Idk it's just really annoying cause there's no way in hell I'm going to pay 200+ something dollars for like 40 drawings. That's like Onlyfans territory of predator.

TLDR: Fantia has a scummy ass system. I paid my subscription fee, let me get access to everything or at the very least make a tier that has access to everything.

Please help an OCD sufferer, is it easy to accidentally like something on this website ?

I created a Pixiv account a few years ago and used it once or twice. I recall having used both the mobile app and browser. I know I used it to see some GL art but I didn't really enjoy my experience on it (a bit difficult to navigate and understand, having to see a lot of art I don't like before finding a tiny percentage of good things...) and left, forgetting I had an account.

A few months ago, I remembered having an account there and checked it again to see if I would like it more than when I first used it. While browsing my profile to see if I may have liked something (or bookmarked ? I don't know if there are different ways to keep trace of an art you want to revisit), I notice there's one drawing.

This one drawing is something extremely upsetting for me. It has nothing to do with GL and when I saw it I was extremely repulsed. I never saw this image before. It would be totally illogical for me to like this one only, especially something so vile and disgusting to me. And since my sole purpose for creating a Pixiv account was for GL art, why would I like it? Is it possible I may have stumbled across this image and wanted to mask it or something and I accidentally pressed the wrong button? Did I double tap without knowing? Why would this image appear when I was looking for GL? I have so many questions as to how and why this pic happened to be the only thing in my likes/bookmark.

I'm not even sure why I made this post because I know I will have answers like, yeah maybe just an accident. But how? I really don't remember this image at all. How easy is it to stumble across pics that have nothing to do with the tags you're looking for?

I'm sorry this post may sound a bit emotional and panicked. I'm anxious as an OCD sufferer over the thought I may have done something I don't recall, especially something which totally goes against my values. After this, I deleted the image from my likes/bookmark and my account altogether. Till this day I still don't how it possibly could've happened.

What was the Pixiv ban controversy of last year ago?

Sorry for not knowing about this subject, last year I saw videos popping up in relation to pixiv banning Loli, shota incest and any other nsfw that are considered controversial, I am questioning, other then some few accounts that just made a new account (like for example borscht that had made a new account on the same site) why is it still visible? I mean it is a good thing, I am questioning what was that hole mess that happened last year?

How to purchase from booth when I'm in Japan?

Hi, so I'm currently in Japan for a while and want to purchase some things from booth. My only issue is, it takes me straight to PayPal to pay before asking for my address, making me think it'll just use the address linked to my PayPal?

Is there a place to add an address after they have confirmed my payment details? Thank you

How long does it take for an artist on pixiv to finish a commission?

A couple of weeks ago I commissioned an artist and it's been more than a couple of weeks, by now I should've recieved a notification on if the payment was good or an update on the progress of the work... I just want to know if my money was well spent, this was my first request on pixiv...

Is Pixiv good place to commission an art?

Tried Fiverr quite a few times but some of the art that came out aren't really up to what I wanted , only a very few game out the way I like.

And I don't really trust using Twitter due to how many shady stuff and scams happen there, so now I'm wondering if Pixiv Is a good place to commission and art.

I'm pretty new to Pixiv so could use a few advise and help.

Can I upload Illustrations/Ugoira from my own visual novel?

I'm currently developing a visual novel and wanted to upload some drawings/Ugoira that will appear in my game. Pixiv states the following:

-Works created by others, images of products on sale, images that third parties have the rights to, works that include captures of games or video works, or screenshot images.

It says "works that include captures of games" however, I imagine that in the context it refers to screenshots of games you did not make. I just want to be sure though. Can I upload images from my visual novel?

Example of Ugoira I would post:

I’m looking for the artist that made this character.

I tired to commission an art piece and I was given a sample which I think comes from an artist that usually posts on pixiv. The person I got this image from claims this is an OC.

Fanbox rejecting my payout request ''due to certain questionable activities''

Hello, i'm trying to request an early payout and i keep getting a ''Payout Failed''

i've contacted the support to see what's the problem and they replied this:

'' Dear user,
This is the pixivFANBOX office.

After checking the details of your activity on FANBOX, we are unable to transfer your pledges received due to certain questionable activities.

--------------
■pixivFANBOX Article 15. Direct Deposit Request
https://policies.pixiv.net/en.html#fanbox

In cases where doubt concerning the rights and so on to a Supporter-exclusive Posted Content published by a Creator or a Privilege arise and in cases where the Company determines that a problem arising between the Creator and a User on the basis of inquiries and the like from the User cannot be resolved within a certain period, the Company may suspend remittance to the relevant Creator, and Creators agree to this. ''

I tried to get them to elaborate to solve the problem on my end but they just replied this.

'' We may withhold our reply in the future if the content of the reply would be duplicated. ''

¿Has anyone ran into the same issue?

NSFW Artist that use Fanbox, how is your paypal still not suspended ?

Im trying to muster up confidence to set up fanbox account but the payment option being only paypal got me worried. Since paypal is not at all nsfw friendly.

What measures have you taken or know any loopholes that helped you maintain your paypal account undetected.

I would really appreciate some help!

Does Fanbox accept payout to overseas bank accounts ?

It says that it can be set to paypal or bank account. But for pixiv's Request profits the bank account option is mentioned for users in Japan only. So does the same apply to Fanbox or not?

As for paypal option, with it being not nsfw friendly, doesn't that mean you put your paypal account at risk getting suspended when linking with nsfw fanbox accounts? or is there a loophole that since they dont really have access to paid posts for fanbox creators (my assumption) unless banner or profile pic is nsfw they cant identify it as nsfw hence letting you remain safe?
