Okay, so in addition we now have these:

sources don't look right (You gotta check browsers OTHER then just opera..)

You can still get the login prompt on higher level privileges (was this intended?)

Some themes are now broken in firefox (autumn just does not want to load for me)

Also take down is still two words, unless you are referring to the sporting move :p

also if you aren't gonna use it, why not just remove the damned pagination from the post history system, it seems a trifle simpler then making everything redirect

also god damn it stop making things closer together, it's already near impossible for me to click on half the links using my tablet or phone. >(

Hmm, I've been using autumn ever since extra themes were added and it's still working fine for me (Firefox).

Problem while trying to log in: when I put my username and my password, I get logged in as Anonymous.

Tried in Chrome (yeah script testing) and in a private tab in Opera (in case I forgot my password and don't want to log out then log in), I can still post because I'm logged in Opera (in normal tabs)

Chrome: http://i.imgur.com/QbdZuJP.png
Opera (private tab): http://i.imgur.com/8ZBMELM.png

As you can see in the screenshots, both say "You are now logged in" while the heading says "You are not logged in." and in my script's user bar says "Anonymous" as user name. Tried several times clicking Login and typing my username and password and still getting the same result.

I cleared caches yesterday (Opera, Firefox and Chrome) but I guess (and hope) that doesn't have anything to do

Edit: Happens the same in Firefox (private tab)

These are the versions I have: Opera 12.16, Firefox 26.0 and Chrome 32.0.1700.102m

Bug: The new source system still takes the deeplink to a FA file (https://d.facdn.net/art/ratte/1391764016.ratte_avalenna.png) and changes it to the artist gallery, given that we have now 5 possible sources it simply doesn't make sense to change the sourcelink if it is part of two or more source links, maybe changing this feature to either 1.) only paste the gallery link in addition on a new line, or 2.) put the gallery link into the first line and the deeplink into the second/last line.

Just for better examples: e6, FA-Submission, Deeplink to FA

That's a fun bug, actually. You are likely using a wrong password. I tried it myself, I can log in OK. But when I intentionally used a wrong password, I got the same scenario. Seems like the "you are now logged in" message shows up instead on an "incorrect username or password" error.

Bug:
/post/update.json doesn't support multiple sources

Expected behavior:
https://e621.net/help/api#posts --> Update --> post[source]
When you put multiple sources (separated by %0A) in this field, each source should appear in a separate line after the update.

Actual behavior:
After the update, the sources are all in a single line, separated by %0A
Example: post #439623

What I think the problem is, is you're trying to send a literal %0A, which gets encoded to %250A (%25 is % when encoded for URLs) when being sent to e621, hence a literal %0A appearing in the source field.

The solution is to either not encode the URL after inserting %0A, or to use an actual newline (or \n) in the source text, and then encode it (like with PHP's urlencode) before sending it to e621.

I'll see if I can come up with a good non-newline character that can be used in its place that's easier to use, but it has to be something that would never appear in a source field anyway.

Edit: I just made it replace any instance of a literal %0A in the source field with a newline so the method you're employing will work anyway.

But... that's what I've been doing! With Firefox's encodeURI() method:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/encodeURI

Like this:
{"id": e6_id, "post[source]": encodeURI(FA_url_user + "\n" + FA_url_gallery + "\n" + FA_url_direct)}

Bug:
Strangely enough, when I was collecting images for one of my private pools, I found that post #46850 appeared twice in the search results. Simply searching for id:46850 doesn't make this happen. But since I was excluding images from my shearch already in that set, I tried a different thing. Any shearch like id:46850 -set:reactionimages (I took the first set from the sets page) triggers this to happen. Then I added the image to a set. Now it actually appears three times.
This does not happen to every post, I've checked it out on post #65536.

Updated by anonymous

tony311 said:
Huh. Well it should work post-update anyway.

I got it to work.

Before, this is what I sent to the e621 API:
{"id": e6_id, "post[source]": encodeURI(FA_url_user + "\n" + FA_url_gallery + "\n" + FA_url_direct)}

Now I'm sending:
{"id": e6_id, "post[source]": FA_url_user + "\x0A" + FA_url_gallery + "\x0A" + FA_url_direct}

For some reason you can no longer tag an artist and character with the same name even when using the character and artist-specific tag callouts. I know this was possible before due to a child post of a picture I just uploaded.

https://e621.net/post/show/446826

It's not a terribly common thing, but I know there are several artists who have characters named after themselves.

While viewing images on my 3DS a message will appear that says one or two of three things "connection failed", "comunication error" or "failed to load part of this page" and will give up on loading an image or will only load half the images like avatars for example on a page or will not load images at all when this happens it may be

1. my connection sucks
2. or a flaw in browser setup (human caused)

but I figured i'd bring it up anyway just in case

Java update came with restrictions in security?

Find Java settings in control panel, and on the Security tab, add http://e621.net/ to the exceptions list. That should do the trick.

Bug
Searching for Artists: URL's are case sensitive

Expected behavior
When I search for an artist using the URL of their website, it shouldn't matter if I search for
http://www.furaffinity.net/user/coconutmilkyway/
or
http://www.furaffinity.net/user/CoconutMilkyway

Actual behavior
e621 only finds the artist if the URL is exactly the same as in the artist wiki.

Steps to duplicate:
See above.

I noticed this bug when I went here:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11594350/
and copied the link to the artist's gallery:
http://www.furaffinity.net/user/CoconutMilkyway

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_resource_locator
"The domain name portion of a URL is not case sensitive since DNS ignores case:
http://en.example.org/ and HTTP://EN.EXAMPLE.ORG/ both open the same page."

But it'd be easier to treat the entire URL as case-insensitive when searching for an artist.

Random broken links in Google Chrome

Expected behavior
Right-click -> 'open image in new tab' works normally.

Actual behavior
Sometimes it doesn't. For instance, I right-click opened a few images from a search and one of them had this url: https://e621.net/post/show?md5=f2af66937de0de6775469c3b2f721894

And the image seems broken even when I view it through the normal url: https://e621.net/post/show/218699

Steps to duplicate
No idea. It's happened a few times, but dunno why.

For me, it happens on Chrome, IE and on my android device; while post #218699 on my devices looks fine, post #98682 and post #453744 seems to be broken, 'open image in new tab' and 'Download' options redirects to 'https://e621.net/post/show?md5=[MD5 hash]', where images are still broken.
