i was going to ask if that happened in other places as well (suspecting a link hijack virus of some sort on your end) but no, i clicked that link and it led to google for me too. odd

edit: looks like the "Comments on my posts" link is dead (he's dead jim!). both when using the esix shortcut in the top right corner of the screen and from the "My Account" page.

Unable to link to a Twitter user page via the Description section of post #859437

The DText involved is

"@LupeSilverwind":https://twitter.com/LupeSilverwind

The result is

"@LupeSilverwind";:https://twitter.com/LupeSilverwind

Looks like it just adds a semicolon despite using the formatting in the DText helpfile

"A link":http://example.com/

This affects the http:// version of the same link as well.

Most 500 errors should be fixed, but there will likely be a couple pages left that won't work just yet.

RSS pages are also still offline, and will likely continue to stay that way for the time being.

Updated by anonymous

Hmm....the "It's dead, Jim" errors stopped showing up, but now uploading doesn't work, it keeps giving 500 error.

Updated by anonymous

A TLDR to the recent server issues:

  • There's an incompatibility bug in the particular version of our software that conflicts with our caching program and causes Unicode errors with tags, so we had to disable it a couple weeks ago as a dirty fix (the é in pokémon is Unicode, so you could imagine why this might end up manifesting as a site-wide issue)
  • Disabling the cache makes the site really slow
  • The caching program got enabled by accident when restarting the server (to apply fixes for unrelated performance issues), which then started up the recent site issues again (the previously mentioned Unicode errors)

We're working on fixing the cache to restore everything to normal, but I don't have a timeline to give quite yet.

We had to disable feeds for the moment due to a rogue news reader making tons of requests per second. Why it redirects to google I have no idea.

The @ is causing the issue here. It's because the code that parses@somename (e.g., @parasprite) is terrible. I'll put this on my todo list.

Edit: The fact that this breaks inline code only further proves how terrible it is. :V

Because Varka is an evil genius. Dude spammed the RSS page with tens of thousands of requests per second, now redirected to Google, which means Google likely ip banned him/his network for a couple days until he takes the reader offline. Getting banned by Google is a huge fucking annoyance for most people.

well, the site certainly is loading far faster now than earlier.

Yeah, it's loading a lot faster than before for sure, whoever was spamming the RSS feeds, he sounds like he's a little too lonely.

1. Wait a minute. My subscriptions actually work?!?! Well, sort of. WHAT. I'm not sure if I ever tried using them because I'm only a member. I feel like some admin saw my 84 tag subscriptions, felt pity, and activated that feature for me, but a system bug seems more likely because the subscriptions haven't updated beyond December 21, 2015.

2. When I put something in the My Prices field (i.e., a joke) in User Settings, the text I entered in the About Me field gets reformatted to half its regular width when viewing my profile page. That may be normal behavior for artist accounts, but I am not an artist. To be clear, the text I entered in My Prices was properly suppressed from appearing on my profile page, but it would seem the profile page gets reformatted nonetheless. Clearing the My Prices field corrects the weird formatting.

Bug: Tag scripting randomly deletes previously added tags from a post. Appears to only affect tags you've added yourself, ones added by other users are left alone.

Expected behavior: To have the site add the tags in your script, not deleting anything unless you've specifically ordered it to.

Actual behavior: The scripted tags get added, a varying amount of previously added tags (unrelated to the newly added ones) will get deleted. Not just from the most recent edit, sometimes it seems to grab two previous edits at once and nukes all their tags.

Steps to duplicate: Use a tag script. Duplication isn't extremely reliable, it seemingly strikes when it feels like it, but way too often to ignore.

https://e621.net/post_tag_history/index?post_id=863109

^ Example, though it's happened to me on nearly all of this comic's pages.

I can confirm that.
Thought that I might've just imagining it since I wasn't able to replicate it, but evidently not.

Did you use both tax scripting and manual tagging when you added those? That's what I was doing when it happened to me. Manual edit seemed to wipe the tags I had scripted.

Hmmm, then perhaps there's more going on here than meets the eye... No, I'm sure I've only used tag scripting.

Or well, I did actually input a few tags manually on one post before deciding to just begin by tag scripting the whole comic (as most of the pages had things like species and characters in common), and of course I went back to manual tagging after finding out the script function was trolling me to hell and back. But the unwanted wiping of tags definitely only happened when I used scripts.

Oh, and before I noticed how certain tags would disappear by me entering others, I also ran into the old problem where you're trying to quickly put a certain tag script on every post of the comic (a character tag in this case), and then you do a check and find out the request was only handled for like half of the posts. So that was already a sign things perhaps weren't going the way they're supposed to.

I haven't tested it, but I suspect this is only if you don't refresh the post index before tag scripting. Something like this:

Tab 1: Post index
Tab 2: post #1

  • Open the post index (Tab 1)

post #1 tags: cat solo

  • Open post #1 in a new tab (Tab 2)
    • Add fish dragon to the tags

post #1 tags: cat dragon fish solo

  • Close Tab 2
  • On post index, tag script -cat horse
    • since post #1 tags on the index last loaded cat solo on the index, the script removes cat and adds horse

post #1 tags: horse solo

Updated by anonymous

But I did refresh the index. I went back to the index from one post where I was manually slotting some tags in, and I believe I did so through the "Posts" button at the top. Maaaaybe I used my browser's back button, but at least I certainly didn't have multiple tabs open.

And it happened to nearly every page of that comic, while prior to that I had only manually edited one.

Regarding newlines and headers

This is semi-intentional. Previously headers would swallow the line before/after if you didn't use 2 line breaks. This was a way for me to fix that bug (it caused a lot of "hidden text" to show up in random wiki pages to anyone unaware of the bug).

Code block and block-level tags

TLDR answer: Writing text parsing code that works as intended in all cases is a huge pain in the ass. I've got it mostly working but there's still some buggy parts of the code that need to be rewritten.

Here is a list of known issues:

  • Block-level tags (headers, lists, tables, etc.) inside \
tags tend to alter spacing and newlines
* Code, quote, and section tags have an unintended extra newline at the end
* @ username code is buggy and unreliable (especially inside custom link titles)
* Link code is much better than it used to be but is still easy to break
* Tables are still pretty messy, and unpredictable with block-level code. I may have to disable those for tables if I can't figure out a solution.
* Backslash escaping breaks certain DText (especially links)
* Shortcuts like -> (arrows) don't work inside lists right now (fix is ready)
* (JavaScript-related) Unicode outside the 8-bit range (e.g., emoji) doesn't get encoded properly when quoting someone (by hitting the respond button)

Workaround for DText inside \[code] tags: Use backslash escapes for headers, lists, tables, etc.

Non-block level formatting is all inline currently. That is, it doesn't play well with line breaks. I may or may not change that at some point but that's going to have to be part of a bigger rewrite.

Bug: Blacklisted images flash on the screen briefly when a page with blacklisted images on it loads.

Expected behavior: The images shouldn't load at all.

Actual behavior: Thumbnails load, then they disappear.

Steps to duplicate: Blacklist some search terms, then load any page with thumbnails such as /posts

The current implementation of the blacklisting mechanism uses javascript to remove images that have already loaded.

This is bad for 3 reasons:

1. The user still has to see the thumbnails they have blacklisted no matter how heinous the content.
2. This is a waste of resources for both the user and the server because the images load and then are removed from the browser viewport.
3. The content, because it has already loaded, remains in the browser cache.

That's the way the blacklist works: It's on YOUR end, not theirs, and runs on cookies to work. Your computer can't hide the images until they're loaded up, so if your internet isn't fast enough, then just move to a different tab while it's loading.

That isn't actually true. Your computer can hide the images before they are loaded. The simplest way to achieve this is not to have the images there to begin with. That is, for e621 to send a page that includes all the post information used in blacklisting, but no actual post thumbnail images. Then the blacklisting code can insert images into the DOM if the post is not on the blacklist, and hidden 'blacklisted' thumbnail if the post is on the blacklist.

Yeah, the blacklist being clientside has nothing to do with whether or not the image must be displayed before being hidden.

Bug:Invalid day numbers in date: metatag search are not properly clipped.
Expected behaviour:Searching with a date that is past the end of the month -- eg 2016-02-31 -- should be treated the same as searching with a date that is exactly the end of the month.

This is still my most-wanted fix.
Being able to exclude sets from searches would be insanely useful for tagging projects.

This is known behavior and it's due to browsers "ignoring" what is under display:none (the collapsed section is just hiding, it's still part of the page). In order to fix this we need to rewrite sections to use some other method of hiding so the browser can always see it.

In the meantime my current recommendation is to always place the anchor outside of sections unless you are using ,expanded. There's really no other way around it.

Have you tried copying the image into a new file and "Save as" it? Sometimes it's a matter of the file that ended up on the site got corrupted, so a standard download keeps a bit of corrupted data, possibly. I mean, I don't know enough to know for sure, but maybe it'll work?

I fail to see what the problem is. Two dashes or one dash doesn't make a difference, it's still the exact same name, and if you're trying to use extra dashes to use the same name as somebody else, you're trying to use the same name as somebody else and should just stop.

The problem is that is the artists tag, with over 100 posts. It worked before and now it doesn't. I didn't choose their alias. A couple other artists and character tags use two dashes and I suppose aliasing them together would be a solution, but if I had intended for that I wouldn't have posted here in the bug report thread...

You need to send a valid and "unique"(for your client, please don't randomize it per request!) User Agent with your requests. Requests without a user agent were disabled because of blatant and repeated abuse.

Please pick something unique that identifies your project and respect that you should respond to http error codes and rate limit your requests. You are encouraged to pick something that contains your e621 username so that you can be contacted if your project causes problems.

Something like "ProjectName/1.0 (by username on e621)"

If you have any questions, send me a DMail.

I believe I said this before, but there is an issue where after favoriting an image, you cannot unfavorite it after reloading or revisiting the page. It shows the favorite button, in green, but clicking it gives the error "you already favorited this".

This appears to be javascript related, but a solid reproduction case hasn't been found. It's on my list of things to look at.

Can't seem to add an artist tag to an image with two dashes in them, for example here-kitty--kitty turns into here-kitty-kitty.

I recently made it so that multiple underscores and dashes are automatically converted into one to cut down on dupe tags.

However, since this was never really a problem with dashes I'm going to go ahead and remove that from the code. It should be ready for the next update.

Edit: We may end up just fixing the tags instead.

Tracked down the cause of this, hopefully the fix will go out by the end of the week. In the meantime, this can be fixed by logging out and then back in again.
