I like a lot of the updates, and the site's been running smoother since.

But one of the email updates might cause some issues. Right now, all accounts need an email attached (great idea) but they also need to have seperate emails which is where things get inconvenient. I have two e621 accounts (one main account, one accidental account. But having a backup was handy when that login issue happened recently). Right now both accounts require an email to be attached to them, but it can't be the same email address. So either I create a second email just for that (I'm not thrilled over that idea), or I'll just abandone the secondary account.

This post is mostly meant as feedback about an issue some users will be facing after this update, but might not be obvious. I am curious though: is this new email policy meant to purposely discourage any user from having more than one e621 account? Or was this entirely unintentional? And is it at all likely to change in the future?

ETA: Looks like this may have been fixed. Thank you to whichever behind-the-scenes magician did that! *high fives*

I'm loving the BloodLust Theme.

Also pretty neat that posting a comment or forums post instantly puts it on the page, instead of reloading it.

Absolutely. Though does anyone else experience a problem where it generates your posted comment with a bunch of spacing errors that you didn't make? It gets restored once I reload the page, so I don't suppose others get to see your message in that misshapen state, but still.

Hmmm... interestingly perhaps, it doesn't seem to happen here in the forum, just the comment sections.

Edit: nope! While my previous post showed up fine first time around, this one had the errors again.

Not just you. I'd noticed that too since the update. I hadn't noticed it was only temporary though, so that's a relief. I'm glad it corrects itself when the page is reladed. I've noticed the initially missing spaces occur after things like commas, periods, italics, etc.

Yeah, that seems to be the case with me too. It's not just the text itself either, the Respond | Edit | Hide box (sans Edit in post comments) can get all weird-looking as well.

The fact that I don't have to scroll up to see the green field telling me that a post have been updated, favorited, added to a pool or something other, is neat, to say the least.

This! I LOVE this new feature! It's especially great when I'm on my phone, where there's less feedback when you click something that the event actually went through. Thanks a bunch!

I like that, since it hovers instead of popping in at the top of the page, it doesn't end up shifting everything down a couple of lines. Can't tell you how many times I hit +Favorite, then tried to click Resize Image only for the shift to cause me to hit -Favorite instead. Still happens occasionally when my name being added to the "Favorited by:" section causes it to start a new line, but not nearly as often.

I do wish it would go away on its own after a moment, though. It's kind of awkward having a green bar floating on top of everything for a while before realizing I have to manually close it.

Actually it does (even when the bar is fixed to the window, there's still a blank space for it at the top of the page to prevent scrolling issues when it snaps in/out. But the browser scrolls the page a bit to compensate for the space being added when the bar is shown so you don't notice it :)

Just went to check that out. I can't even take it. IT'S SUCH ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY!

http://puu.sh/9r3zk/5aae8d42d6.png

Do you think they should change it back so the titles display useful information instead of the post number? If I have a lot of tabs open (wink ;3), then I end up only being able to see about 4 characters on the tab title, meaning I'd see a bunch of #490's. If it's the first tag, or the artist name, or really anything that's english and unique to each page, then I'll most certainly get some sort of use or utility out of that.

Quick question. How comes I'm IP Banned? I just got this error when posting (or trying to post) a blip:

"Error: Your IP is banned, you may not create blips"

I haven't checked elsewhere, btw and didn't want to make a new thread for something that can be quickly fixed...

I even forgot what I was going to blip...

Edit: I just checked and I can't post with the other router (different IP) Long story short: we have one from cable's and the other from the phone's, basically we jump to the other when one is slow/dead

Can has account button from main page moved to the end / right side of the links rather than the first? I keep going to account edit rather than to posts because muscle memory.

Sorry about that, looks like we haven't been staying on top of it too well lately. I just spent an hour+ knocking out the majority of the queue. Will get to the others as I have time, or hopefully someone else chips in too.

So it just occurred to me that we don't have a thread for providing feedback about the site, the moderators, the administrators, or whatever else.

Want to praise somebody? Want to disagree with the way we're running things around here? Want to vent your frustration about me or anyone else on the staff? Do it here! You may very well be bringing up a point that's on many people's minds, and one that we might not be aware of or have been slow to address.

PLEASE KEEP YOUR FEEDBACK DETAILED AND RESPECTFUL. Saying something like "you guys suck because you couldn't properly run a website if your life depended on it" might make you feel better, but that's not going to help us improve at all. Give us specifics.

If you'd rather provide feedback directly to me for fear of making yourself a target here, that's perfectly fine too. Just e-mail me at [email protected]

I never want it to be said that we, or at least I, was not open and RESPONSIVE to feedback.

Alright, so, I'll start this topic off with an issue that has been bothering me for quite a while now.

Fixing, much less IMPROVING, the site has been slow. Really, really slow. I'm well aware of this, and I'm sure many other people are as well. There are still tons of bugs that have remained completely unaddressed ever since the change of ownership in September, almost half a year ago now.

So why aren't we making any real progress in this area?

Truth of the matter is, we need a Ruby On Rails coder. Varka knows a bit about Ruby On Rails, but we need someone that really has experience with it and would be willing to volunteer their time. That's it, really. That's why we've made so little progress. I'd love for that to change, as I'm sure you guys would too. We've got to find somebody, so if you or anyone you know might be interested in helping us out, tell us!
Aurali wuz here.

Responses to this or any of your own praise/complaints are welcome below.

On an entirely new topic.

There's something on this website that I've been getting increasingly irritated with...

MLP porn...

I'm not saying this because I have a problem with cloppers...If a TV show about adolescent ponies, set in a pornographic fashion, makes some select grown men want to yank their tweezers bait? Who am I to judge, let them eat cake, I say. Doesn't bother me none cause it doesn't involve me, or my interests...

However, it turns out that it 'does'.

I'm a big fan of anthro equines, but when I type "Horse" or "Equine" or "Horse cock" or any other idea for how to bring up anthro horse porn...You know what I see?

PAGES, UPON PAGES, UPON PAGES, UPON PAGES, UPON PAGES, UPON PAGES(you get the idea) OF MLP PORN!...With 1-2 actual anthro related pictures mixed inthere somewhere...followed by even more PAGES, UPON PAGES, UPON PAGES, UPON PAGES, UPON PAGES, UPON PAGES(you get the idea) OF MLP PORN!

It became a problem for me when something so incredibly 'NOPE.JPG' for me is so completely overflowing my interests. There's in fact SO MUCH MLP porn on this page, that 8/10 animations made which has even the slightest tag in common with MLP? Will be MLP related! Most likely pornographic.

I'm sorry, but my daughter watches this show, and I enjoy this show in a pure, PG-13 fashion, I'm a brony myself in fact. But I cannot accept seeing something this innocent becoming so corrupted by peoples' need for a good fap, it, quite frankly, sickens me, and turns my stomach...And I'm forced to look at it whenever I try to search for good old fashioned NOT MLP RELATED horse furry porn.

So, due to the overwhelming surge of MLP porn, and for the sake of those of us who do NOT want to see page after page of this....this...'stuff'!, I ask that e621 implement some kind of means for us to completely separate the two apart...I dunno..rig the tags or something? I don't know, and I frankly don't care, I just hate it, passionately, that I'm forced to watch my favorite pony, Rainbow Dash, overweight and obese in a latex outfit and stockings while being plowed by a futanari version of Fluttershy...It just...It's just something I cannot and will not accept to be forced to see...

Prince_Vaxis said:
[clipped]

What you're looking for is your blacklist. Try this:
Go to My Account [link is in the topmost navigation row of links on every page]>then go to 'Settings'[second option in that list on that page] > then click in your blacklist [first text box on that page]. Then paste this into it (fixed it now, this version should work):

my_little_pony rating:explicit
my_little_pony rating:questionable

Keep it exactly like that, keeping it grouped in two lines just like that. Then save your settings. This should make it so that from now on you'll only see my_little_pony images when they're rated 'safe' and still be able to see all the non-mlp horse porn that you want.

ETA: Got it fixed now. This should work fine, I tested it out myself. Add those two lines to your blacklist and you should be fine from now on.

Adding to what furrypickle said above, this is already totally possible with the current system. If you wish to omit specific types of content from your search results, you can either blacklist the content entirely, or you can prefix a tag with the "-" operator in your searches.

For instance, a search for "horse" will bring up tons of MLP, while a search for "horse -mlp" will omit all posts that have the "my_little_pony" tag. Using the "-" operator even works in your blacklist too, except it has the opposite effect (e.g. blacklisting "horse -mlp" on one line says "don't show me pictures of horses UNLESS they have the my_little_pony tag too".

You can find all your possible search options under the gold "Search Help" link above the search box, which links to here: https://e621.net/help/cheatsheet

Help with your tag blacklist can be found here: https://e621.net/wiki/show?title=help%3Ablacklist

No problem. I'm sure lots of people still have no idea about features like those. We're hoping to make them a little more obvious in the future.

That would probably be good. I know it seems obvious to long term users. But when I first joined it took me a good month or so of seeing it mentioned in the forums now and then before I finally went looking for information to understand it. A lot has changed since then, including a sticky thread. But judging from comments made around the site, I'm thinking it's still more of a well-kept secret than it ought to be.

The implication and alias queue, could need some looking at. some of the request are even 3 months old.

not sure where to post this but...on the artist source info page for flucra: https://e621.net/artist/show?name=flucra (flucra, fulcrum...i dunno) someone might want to change the pixiv link to http://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=4545490

the current link leads to a "User has left pixiv or the user ID does not exist." page, so its the wrong link.

Been that way for as long as I can remember, only exceptionally superb or funny non-furry posts stays, for the most part.

It's definitely been that way pretty much ever since the site was created. We did recently edit the Avoid Posting list to reflect that, though. (it used to be in some rules/guidelines a while back but I think it got lost somewhere)

Not too keen on the latest update changes. Feel like it should have been discussed on the forums beforehand. Mainly this change.

I'm also very strongly against this:
"Comments can now be edited for five minutes after they are created, if you need to fix typos. This will also apply to blips soon"

This would allow for lots of abuse by trolls/troublesome users who likes to argue.
It'd be better if admins and mods could see earlier versions of the comment, to make sure that a user isn't trolling.

Peekaboo said:

"First off: we're trying out a new method of changing tag types. Previously, to change an existing tag's type you prepended a type to it, such as species:lemur. However, that occasionally led to tag types being changed inadvertently. For example, you upload a post by the artist "outdoors" and tag it artist:outdoors, changing outdoors to the artist type when outdoors_(artist) was the proper tag to use. Now, changing a tag's type will instead append a suffix if the tag already exists. In this case, adding artist:outdoors will leave the outdoors tag as a general tag and add (or create) artist:outdoors_(artist). This does not happen for tags that don't exist yet."

We're just trying it out, if it proves to be too much of a problem or is seen as a negative change by most people we'll reconsider it.

We figured that five minutes wouldn't cause too much trouble and would be outweighed by the convenience of being able to edit comments. We might add a history if it proves necessary.

What about recording the comments only when somebody makes a report of it? This way you don't need to add the history of all the post but still keep the relevant ones.

Something I've noticed is that the pool dropdown overlaps with the image/comments (depending on the height and tags). It's not a big issue but more like a glitch...

I briefly turned off the eSix Extend feature Apply the HTTPS Tweak on every image (Might cause double image requests. Keep it disabled if using mobile data (?)), and images (including thumbnails) still don't load occasionally, so I'm turning it back on.

Can confirm this, except it also occurs without E6Extend, using HTTPSEverywhere addon.

savageorange said:

The eSix Extend feature "Apply the HTTPS Tweak on every image" does the opposite of HTTPSEverywhere.
It turns HTTPS off for all images on e621, i.e. it turns all image links into HTTP links.

So maybe it should be called "HTTP tweak" in the eSix Extend settings, to prevent confusion.
In the changelog forum post, it's called "HTTP tweak" :-)

The wiki history for tag pages seems to be thoroughly broken.
Can't view previous versions, or compare versions.

Implications
Aliases

Jatix said:
Implications

Aha. I'd appreciate if the implications and tracking thread was cleaned up, got some implications on that thread that still aren't done.

On that topic, I still wish that thread wasn't locked. I find it useful.

Just noticed the improvement when suggesting an alias: I like the new feature of having the difference between alias and implication explained clearly right there above the text box when you're suggesting a new one. Very nice.

*high fives whoever came up with and did that!*

I was viewing an nightmare fuel tagged photo, and I read a creepy comment under it and I thought. Hey you know what would add more nightmare fuel to this site? Tagging comments.

Just wanted to says cheers to the administration for somehow managing to go through this DDOS attack with no major slowdowns. The site is fast as fuck for me right now.

How does the popular by day page work? Does it list only images that were uploaded that day, and can upvotes made days, weeks, or years later change a day's rankings?

It shows the 32 posts created in the last day (or the given day, if a date is supplied) with the highest score. It's a really old page in need of an update someday to make it useful though, but it's very low priority.

Works fine for me. What would you do, bump the post count to 40, 48? Set a minimum score? Pop up calendar?

So let's see:

Aliases and implication:
5 pages of pending aliases, 6 pages of pending implication. Some of them 6 month old. Even excluding ones with long discussion then there's still forum #133532 - 3 month old.

Flags for deletion:
about 60 pending flags and TBH I don't know why post #550727 and post #550726 weren't deleted.

Are you going to dress up as furaffinity during this halloween?

Joking aside - current way of handling implication and aliases is awful. Implications and aliases lay there forgotten just waiting till some admin accept them without reading discussion. (see forum #138669 for example)

The way how forum works does not help at all. I mean wouldn't it be great if there was separate forum section for pending aliases and implication so they wouldn't drown in post about how to self suck? If that's too bad then how about a better search? Just look at this. It's pathetic - you can't even search by thread title.

I have a question about the new flag system.

For the inferior and commercial reasons, can I post a comment saying how it's inferior or where it's being sold at if it's under two years old?

The new flagging will surely deter a lot of people from trying to flag things for being "disgusting", hah.
I spouted that idea in the somewhat recent survey, now I'm wondering if I sparked the change or if somebody else was involved with this.

Mayhaps expand "This post is an uncredited trace of another artist's work" to include cropped and removed watermarks, other than that I think the FDD is pretty nifty now.

-Frazzledragon said:

Nah, flag reasons have been in the works for years :P

I really like how more new-user-friendly the flagging system has become with the whole multiple choice format, as well as the parent post automatically getting added to the upper choice and the reminder at the bottom, but now I can't add a proper flagging reason for inferior versions that goes beyond the basic preset "it's inferior". I feel that's too limiting and can cause some issues.

Like these:

post #530372

post #552046

The newer one is a color-corrected version, so it's not really like the older one is inferior, just that it has been updated. But I can't explain that with the system working the way it does, leading to the flag possibly being denied. Or even the newer one eventually getting deleted, because "it's just the same thing with different eyes".

Can you please add another option that's basically like the old "reason" field? You know, call it something like "Other reason, namely...". Would be swell.

Like Granberia already mentioned, there's an alarming amount of unfinished/unaddressed implications and aliases stacking up, and it's been that way for months. Truth to be told, having aliases and implications backlogs has been a reoccurring problem for a very long time.

There's also unhandled threads scattered through the forum, like correcting the alias in suggested in forum #138669 (which was erroneously passed without reading the thread, which made a mess because it was discussed to be an implication instead [forum #138677] and now it needs UNaliased and then implicated instead. Despite being brought up and bumped, it still waits to be fixed). As well as threads like this forum #138372 which reached a decision months ago but is still in dire need of follow-through on changing an alias and an implication to actually make that decision happen.

Even though links to the discussion threads were added to the alias and implication pages to make it easier, if anything the processing/evaluation of pending aliases and implications has fallen even further behind. On a site where implications and aliases play a major role, this is a fairly big problem. Is there any word on when the loads of implications, aliases and discussions will start actually getting evaluated and processed? Or maybe a solution to the problem so that it doesn't repeat the cycle of backing up and then hanging over everyone like a looming cloud of doom?

Looming cloud of doom is an apt description. I know there's a lot of them, but I hope that whoever ends up handling those takes time to read the threads. There's so many pending ones that should be rejected, and I'm not looking forward to the clean-up if those accidentally get accepted.

It's already happened several times in the past, so seeing such alises on the pending list makes me kind of anxious.

As for the unhandled unaliases and unimplications, I've been bothering Nommy about those. About the ones that I've been able to remember, anyway; I'm sure there's many that I've forgotten about. But anyway, directly mailing the admins about those seems like the way to go.

The new FFD page looks pretty neat. It's also pretty nice that the parent posts ID is already in the inferior/repost deletion field when you go onto the page.

I like the new (?) multiple-choice flag menu.

Except for the Nonsense downvoting system and several moderators which think they have to call my comments as "the dumbest comment they have ever seen" everything is fine... nice pleasure at night. also i dont really like these tons of one pic versions, would be nice if you could upload one pic with attachments with the alternative pictures. the "Post thread" button is pretty well hided... :p Think thats all.

So I'm a guy and I'm not into dudes. This means if I'm doing general browsing, I'll usually use a "-gay" tag to get rid of the gay posts. Excluding certain tags is nice. However, this doesn't filter out images of solo male characters with large erections. This isn't technically gay of course, but it certainly isn't something I want to see. Instead of a solution to just this problem though, I wonder if you could have a more general feature where you allow us to use parentheses to filter out tags. Like for example -(solo male) would remove only posts that have both the solo and male tags. There are lots of other ways this could be useful as well.

Check out the blacklist option in your settings, it could easily save you time filtering out stuff manually. There's also a stickied topic on the forums that you should check out.

But anyway, go into your settings, and in the big field for your blacklist put in these next two lines EXACTLY:
gay
solo male

That will solve your problem :)

To add to this, if you still look at safe art, you might to try using this:

• solo male -rating:safe
• Blocks all solo males except when they are rating:s

But if you're just here for the porn...

• rating:s -female
• Blocks all rating:s unless they are also female - some pictures that are technically safe can be fairly salacious in the right context

If enough people want this I can look into adding it...but I didn't see the point in requiring logins since there's absolutely no barrier to registration except spending a couple minutes filling out a form, and being banned doesn't prevent you seeing profiles either.

Although /user is already on robots.txt so that doesn't really make much of a difference.

and it just works. Thanks, Tony.

I like the site well enough. The biggest issue I have is the random roulette of whether or not an admin thinks a piece of art is irrelevant or not. It's really both frustrating and confusing to see an example of something be deleted for being irrelevant when there's hundreds of similar examples of the same thing that are still around.

Seriously, some guidelines need to be set into place in a public place so we can call admins, mods, w/e on their BS for removing "irrelevant" art. It shouldn't just be left to the whims and moods of those in charge. Everything else is pretty much clear cut with specific rules and regulations except this. Over the last few years I feel it's really just dragged the credibility of the site down when someone in charge can just randomly claim something "irrelevant" without any sort of proof, reasoning, logic, or even set standards to adhere to.

Not sure if this is the best place for this, it's (most very likely) not an automated part of the site and thus not strictly a feature request, and it's a minor annoyance at best but...

From the news banner:

Update! Click here for the changelog.

That's a bit confusing, as that has been there through various updates to the news banner, but the site itself was last updated in January.

So I suggest including the date of the site update in such notices, so that people can tell at a glance when it's not new news. Perhaps as simple as this?

It isn't really related to your suggestion, but if you click the little "x" on the top right corner it goes away until they post something new.
