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

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say here.

By the incorrect context of your search, you are stating that searchs and favorites by 'bob do Not show up.

If you replace "searchs" with "uploads", yes, that is what is being requested. Test-Subject_217601 would like to be able to find images that have NOT been favorited by a particular user. An example use case:
I might like to search for x y z -fav:snowy, so that I can find images of x y z that I haven't favorited yet, and possibly add them to my favorites, because I really enjoy images of x y z.

Even if you hadn't faved them, there are still an assload of stuff to sort through and 'bob' might not have want you want uploaded or fave.
By the incorrect context of your search, you are stating that searchs and favorites by 'bob do Not show up.

What happens when bob is you?
What happens when you have over 20,000 favorites?

It would be a good feature to have, trust me.


Can I suggest something? ...well I will anyway, so I guess asking doesn't matter, it's just a matter of will my suggestion get positive or negative attention, or will it even be noticed at all. Anyway, my suggestion request thing is this- is there a user counter? you know, to tell how many users are online at any one time? if there isn't, that might be pretty nifty, if only for the sake of curiosity.

yep but only available to the analytics users.


Please remove the ability for new users to submit tickets. We've had an influx of spam accounts abusing tickets for trolling purposes.


How about a little counter on the posting page that tells you 2 things.

How many Posts you have that are "Pending" and how many posts you can make in total (the whole 10+(Approved/10)-(Deleted/4) thing).

Just as a quick reference to see how many posts are available at the moment without having to go all the way into the Profile. Not sure if it can be done, but I would appreciate it as a reference.


Request: Have the server include Content-Length header when sending images.
Why: So clients (particularly on crappy connections) can display download progress and retry failed downloads.

(Unless it already does, and it's just being ignored on my end for some reason... >.>)


Feature: Add "Remember to use underscores for spaces" on the "no posts matched your search" dialog
Why it would be useful: Whenever I tell someone about the site they come back and say "I typed in family [space] guy and got nothing, what kind of crap site is this?"

Even when I tell them they just say forget it and move on

This seems like the most missed thing for new-to-booru users

Requested feature: When people use the "post without bumping" when commenting it shouldn't affect when you are viewing comments on your posts

Why it would be useful: so you can see all comments you get on your uploads


Requested feature: The ability to track/favorite tags (and possibly receive a small notification if any new images are uploaded with that tag), if it's able to implement of course.

Why it would be useful: To be able to quickly find any new uploaded images that have been tagged with your tracked/favorited tag.

That's kinda how tag subscriptions work if I'm understanding you correctly.

disregard that last post then

shit, i didn't see that because i have a lowly basic account and you have to be privileged to subscribe to tags

that is bigotry right there

I don't think you know what that word means.

I don't think so, I have a basic account and I can add them (just tested right now). Though I don't know how they work exactly *pokes around*

Edit: Forget it. You can add them but they won't work until you're privileged u_u OK At least I tried ┐(´~`;)┌

i was implying that it was a horrible discrimination that i could not subscribe to tags

'twas a joke

i will make sure to use more caps lock next time so it's easier to tell


Request: Remove access to us mortals (member level) to the Tag Subscriptions list so we don't have fake hopes in them working for us...

Workaround: Use RSS feeds for them, they can update anytime we want :P


(This idea is not my own, but was suggested to me via e-mail by an e621 user who I never got the name of).

Requested feature: Implement an ability to search for pools via the tags that the images contain (particularly on the Pool page's search ). I think this should also be extended to the main search feature as well via a new meta-tag like "inpool:". So your options would be "inpool:yes" and "inpool:no".

Why it would be useful: This would allow you to find comics/collections specifically that contain images relevant to your interest, in case you're looking for more story or a series of images instead of just one-off pieces.

Requested feature: Two source fields: one for the artist's gallery, and one for a direct link to the work's page. Or n source fields, which would be useful for works hosted on multiple sites (although likely prone to misuse).
Why this would be useful: Some people have the very strong opinion that source fields should link to the artist's gallery. Other people have the very strong opinion that the source filed should go directly to the work's page, since the artist's gallery can be located easily through the artist's wiki page. This would let both sides be happy.


Requested feature: Allow users to unhide his or her forum post(s)
Useful reason: You apparently need to login as a Mod or Admin to do this for some reason....


Supplimental to Snowy's request above (and seconding it) is the discussion thread at forum #42273

I believe you mean "inspiring Snowy's request above".


Requested feature: Overhaul of the "edit posts" mode

What should be overhauled? Currently if you are in this mode and you click on a thumbnail a little text box appears at the top of all posts with the save and cancel buttons below. This is pretty horrible if you want to quickly tag a couple pictures at the bottom of the page and you need to always scroll down again.

How would I like it? You click a post, a new, centered frame appears, with the normal text box and buttons and either the thumbnail of the post above/besides it or a bit bigger preview of the post in question.
Oh, and the position of the text cursor should properly reset to the beginning with every new clicked post.(Had to restore a few destroyed tags thanks to the not resetting >_>)

Why it would be useful: You wouldn't need to scroll down again and again, you could be able to see the picture in question without loading the comments and would probably make that mode more attractive to normal users.

Requested feature: Add a locked thread category

Why it would be useful: would be a lot easier to find locked threads


Requested feature: Comments on your Comments

Why it would be useful: Sure comments on you posts are fine, but what if you wanted to somehow know what they say about your comments?

Surely when your current upload limit is zero, the upload form shouldn't even appear? I assume it'd just reject anything I tried to upload, but that's a huge UI design fail: don't let the user waste their time filling in information that you already know you're going to discard. :|

But you can fill out the tags and when your upload limit goes back up, you jut hit upload and it's already tagged
