Bug: When deleting a subscription the notice bar shows nothing
Expected behavior: A message confirming that I just deleted a subscription
Actual behavior: This
Steps to duplicate: Delete a subscription from the Tag Subscriptions (one that you just create or you don't want anymore)

Oh, for API calls. It's probably better to actually offer the forum post as it is, unparsed, than to turn everything into e621.net specific HTML/CSS. Which does make parsing it a bit harder. I can give you the DText parsing code if you need it (it's written in Ruby).

That would probably help; at least then I can be relatively certain I'm parsing the same way as the server does. What I'd do though is to give the raw text (as "source" perhaps) and parsed text. But I can see if you're parsing it into classes that rely on your own stylesheets, that might not be very useful.

Also, this server seems to ignore/not send a number of useful HTTP headers, making for both a lot of potentially wasted bandwidth and a lot of failed downloads:

  • Neither of Content-Length or Content-MD5 are sent. This prevents clients from detecting a failed download. Annoying to someone with a poor connection, since you can't be sure an image downloaded successfully except by looking at it.
  • Content-Range is not honoured. This means when a client retries a failed download, it has to start over from the beginning of the file, rather than skipping the part it already has, potentially wasting a lot of bandwidth.
  • If-Modified-Since is seemingly not honoured (even though Last-Modified is sent). This means every view of a post has to re-download the image.

post #236700 seems to have the wrong file size? Only 137K, but it claims some 593K...

No, you're looking at the downsampled image, not the original. You need to either click the "Download" or "Full Size" button to get the original, or disable "Show Image Samples" in your options: https://e621.net/user/edit


Hmm, well something odd happened there. It looks like the downscaled version is actually the same dimensions, just in JPEG format? I thought sample images were only used when the original is >800px wide? Or I'm just confused and insane...

What field (if that's what they're called) and/or post are you reading?
---
Try connecting it to the power outlet and see if the mayo is still white. If that does not work open the request (assuming http://e621.net/post/index.json?limit=1) in a text editor


Well, the JSON shows:
width: 600
height: 800
sample_width: 600
sample_height: 800
file_url: /data/2a/cf/2acf...4807.png
sample_url: /data/sample/2a/cf/2acf...4807.jpg

And then post #87225 doesn't have a low-res version? o.O (sample_width == width, sample_url == file_url and so forth, despite being extremely high res...)

Bug: The website randomly goes to the 500 error page and a few seconds later it works normally

Expected behavior: there shouldn't be problem

Actual behavior: goes to the 500 error page

Steps to duplicate: i don't know it just happens randomly

It's 800px wide OR tall. The text on the setting says "If enabled, images that are wider/taller than 800px will be replaced with a reduced-size image." It looks like it actually kicks in right at 800px though, but I'm not terribly worried about it; we're talking about 1 pixel.

Works fine for me. Which post did you try to change your avatar to?

Tried to change it to http://www.e621.net/post/show/237982

...

And then it works again. Guess it was transient. Sorry!

Yeah, just bad timing is all. The site does occasionally experience brief 500 errors, I think usually whenever it needs to run some script/process. The outages are usually quite brief, but bound to be seen by some users anyways since we have so much traffic.

Traffic? Great. I'm late already ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)
Is something wrong? (do servers have cache?)

Aurali or maybe Tony would have to explain the specifics behind it. But basically, I know there's a script that runs at least once a day that updates tag subscriptions, tag counts, and other stats, and that the site is NOT accessible during that time. I presume this is intentional, to prevent any changes in data being made while the script is running. But again, that's completely not my area of the site, so I'd take their answer over mine.


e621 is really slow for me at the moment.
While I'm waiting for the posts to load, my browser displays this status message:
"Waiting for ad.dragonads.com"

So I went to ad.dragonads.com
=> 500 Internal Server Error

Then I went to www.dragonads.com
=> hello world


I have the same kind of problem. I usually whitelist e621 on AdBlock Plus, but for now I'm "forced" to unwhitelist it, until the problem is resolved :c


I don't get the 500 Internal Server Error, but I do get incredible lag when it comes to loading. Most of the time, the page just doesn't load for me at all. Just keeps waiting for that ad.dragonads.com thing that Munkelzahn mentioned. I want my e621. ;.;

Please be patient. Varka's designing a new simian-unicorn remote-controlled self-lubricating sex toy. I'm sure he'll address this
problem as soon as he's done!


Bug: Cant remove original uploaded tags from an image...

Expected Behavior: Should be able to remove them, like if it was tagged by accident, or something.

Actual Behavior: Nothing happens and the tag is still there. D:

Steps To Duplicate: Added "test" tag, then proceded to remove it.. That still works like normal. Also tried it on different posts and got the same problem..

People are also having the same issues in the comments of post #238807 so I know I'm not the only one.

This isn't a bug in this particular instance. The tag "dog" was on that image, and "dog" implies "canine". You can't remove an implied tag from an image without also removing the tag that caused the implication. (See the tag history here: http://e621.net/post_tag_history/index?post_id=238807 ).

If you ever run across this scenario again, it's good practice to search our Implication list page to see if the tag you're trying to remove is implied to something else. In this case, you'll see that "dog" implies "canine": http://e621.net/tag_implication?query=canine&user=&approved=all&order=tag


Speaking of not being able to remove tags, this one does seem to be an actual bug. post #238262 has a certain tag several have attempted to remove to no avail.

Yeah that one is a legit bug.


How long will this bug take to fix?


Kinda weird because I tried it on a couple different posts before I posted it here.. Always came out the same way. o:
...But, whatever, I guess.

Is that tag aliased/implicated to something? Or it's because it uses unicode?
---
lemme try, I have nothing to do right now
Weird, it's a new tag, it isn't aliased nor implicated. Can be fixed reuploading?
---
I could only change the rating (from e to q, since no sexual acts are present) And the tag history shows that there was a japanese name, that could cause the bug

I don't remember. They were completely random. ;~;

But you tried right? Then they must be in your "Tag Edits"


Bug: Blacklisting something won't blacklist it...at all. At least for me.

Expected Behavior: Should be able to blacklist a tag and a pic.

Actual Behavior: Nothing happens when I put the tag in the blacklist thingy, the offending pics are still there. ><

Steps To Duplicate: Hmm...dunno..help? ><
