i noticed way before registering as a guest you can have up to 8 tags when searching, why as a registered user am i given less? (6 tags) This literally fails to amuse me.

I kinda registered in hopes to limit my search results from 1100 pages for something rather amusingly funny to way way more less....I feel quite the disappointment now. Also is there anything on here explaining the transition from a basic account to a slightly better one? if so link please thank you.

There seems to be a limit of one for each sort of negative tags and incompleted tags searches such as "-male foot*" and only one page of results will display for me from time to time, maybe that's the problem you're also encountering

Just get creative with your blacklist function. Here is some help with it, but it should work.

The tag search for unregistered users should be at 4, not 8. So this is likely a bug.

well now i feel rather silly thank you guys. :P

your welcome... heh i just realized how annoyed a friend of mine will be when he realizes he can only search with less tags as a guest... i did bug him after all to join up. from those tips ^ blacklisting and adding more images per page certainly helps me search a little fast. No matter... i probably may be post a few pics ive got but before i jump ahead ill read up more on how to tag and etc. Also are some sketch's an exception to post on here? I've been a long time member of F.A. so I'd like to know ahead of time.

Actually, we're going to set it to 6 tags per search, the 4 tag limit was from ancient times and we have no reason to leave it this low.

Will the user search tag limit be increased? It's a nice little incentive to create an account, and 6 is kind of low.

i agree with you but that should be something like an upgrade once we hit 1,000,000 posts in art??
