Topic: 'Random' within parameters

Posted under General

Is there any way to go to a random post within certain parameters? For example, a random post as long as there is a 'reptile' tag or similar tag. Basically a search, but without going through the order:random search term.

IF you want truly random, google a random number generator that can generate up to and between any numbers you want. https://www.random.org/ for example

(set max at over 646,000 as that's the sites total atm.

I got the number: 579760

which is this post:

post #579760

But as far as I know, no way to do it with a certain tag.

But with what I just accomplished with the random number generator. I'm gana make a new forum post and see what other people get!

Make a little bit of javascript that uses the JSON api to fetch what you want, adding order:random to the search terms automatically, then grabs the post id of the first item returned and goes to the corresponding url.

I was wondering if I could get a random post within the parameters, but thanks. e621 is blocked for me after midnight (parents) but e926 isn't, and I can click download to view the image.
