RULE UPDATE: Please consult the following thread for an important update, effective immediately, to the site's "Tag What You See" rule: http://e621.net/forum/show/67138

Site Update: We've temporarily disabled the tag sidebar on the post index (when searching) since it seems to be the cause of the performance problem. It'll be back soon once we fix or rewrite it.

A reminder: When flagging a post for deletion (except if its for DNP or against posting rules), please make sure it has a parent for the favorites to be transferred to. Information on how to flag is here and information on how to parent can be found here

way too many pictures try to show on one page now causing this website to not load fully on my phone. Also, blacklisting still doesn't seem to be working. Is there a limit to the amount of tags you an put in there? I have them separated by spaces.

The problem above will be fixed in a few weeks at the most (I'd like to have it fixed NOW but the fucking parts that came in were damaged >() Whenever I get my computer back running I'll get it done

seperate them by new line characters and they will work.

Thanks for replying! Blacklisting now works fine and I'm glad the 100 pics per page won't e in the final version. It'd be nice if you could set the amout of images per page like on FA.

Another thing I don't like is I now can't drag and drop to save images. I have to click download then right click on the image, save image as, select location, and save. I used to be able to just drag :<

The drag and drop is actually a BUG in firefox's decryption process.

Also Yes, the set amount will be like blech, but saved so it is remembered in cookies :3

You SHOULD just be able to right click on the picture and save, or whatever, without the step of 'downloading'...

though past THAT...

Assuming you ARE using firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/image-toolbar/

That'll give you a little toolbar when you hover over an image that includes a 'save' button. :)

you'll still have to (I believe) tell it where to save to but few fewer clicks are a few fewer clicks

Snow her previous post says a bug in firefox is the problem.

Yes~~~ But I was offering alternatives that *should* work until firefox fixes their problems <3


There's also the firefox Addon SaveImageInFolder which... does exactly what it says on the tin. It's really nice for sorting images into the proper folders without having to swap between them all the time.


A lot of you should check the first post of this thread before suggesting things :3 Just saying.


Feature request: Allow posting of svg images. Vectors should be vectors, not absurd_res raster images.


Ability to delete (your own) comments from deleted posts?


When you click to favorite or vote, the page shifts because "post #12345 added to favorites" or w/e appears. This could be fixed by applying {visibility: hidden;} to the text instead of {display: none;}. This preserves the height of the text, merely hiding it.

Seconded on SVG images. If compatibility is desired, I know that Wikipedia uses software to convert SVGs to thumbnails and scaled down PNG versions (something that is obviously impossible for Flash). I haven't looked into it but I guess the framework would have to clean SVG uploads of scripts that could be potentially malicious (although arguably SWFs can be less safe). Animations are also possible in SVG without using JavaScript with the use of tags (SGML?).


I'm fine with the page shifting when adding something to my favorites, actually. In fact, it lets me know when it's successful without having to scroll up, although that's lazy of course.

The first one ain't changing, I really prefer the height difference and sudden shift over it, and I'm sure that it'll cause more complaints then it saves.

Anyhow, on the SVG images. This MIGHT happen in the future, but right now I'm not gonna rewrite our custom image parsing software again any time soon. Possible for Ouroboros 2 though :3


Not to mention if you just hide the text, then you have a bunch of vertical space wasted for text that you're almost never going to see.

We need an "Are you sure the reason you're flagging isn't retarded?" warning or something. or maybe "Be forewarned. If the flagging reason is deemed unacceptable, you will be banned for ? days. The length of a banning may be affected by the number of past offenses."


My computer is broken and it will be a while before I can get it fixed.... I was using my droid to browse the site, the last update broke it. The pictures don't load and such....


For some reason I can't see anything on my android phone, why is that?

chrome is a buggered piece of crap when it comes to image parsing, just turn off javascript. and add &limit=15 to your search bar.


Maybe a system could be implemented that automatically tags all images in a pool with the name of the pool itself?

Nooo. The name of the comic should not even NEED to be tagged. We just allow it cause no-one seems to search the pools.

Fix the ambiguous tag modifier system pls.

There was a reason the ambiguous tag system was removed. Once I figure out what it was I'll get it back running.


On the http://e621.net/comment/search?query=user:username page, can there be a column listing the number of comments?

They either want a column for the number comment the user has made to show up when searching comments, or the comment's ID number to show up in a separate column.

Speaking of counting comments... why were the links on a userpage that had the number of how many of a certain thing you have, like comments, favorites etc, changed to "View" instead?
Would it be possible to get the counters back?


See, I was thinkign they wanted a "this picture has XX comments"

Also, +1 for counters here :D


I actually meant "this picture has XX comments". Except just the "XX" o' course. I'd take the width required from the column containing the comment.

A quoted comment should at least be a slightly different colour to a normal one.

Bumping this by request. Also we should have a link to the flag for deletion wiki page pop up for members when flagging a post.
