I'm glad eSix itself reflects the certain type of snarky, and somewhat ironic humor of the users that browse it.

Looks like this is related to the period at the end of the name. Probably ended up broken because it thinks it is trying to set the response type, but has no type attached. Most likely just needs some coercion on our end.

I made a page and got a 404 error. The page is made and can be accessed, but submitting the page or trying to edit it results in a 404.
Edit: Replace the period with %2E, as this is the URL "Escape" for periods. This will allow you to edit the page, though you'll still get a 404 upon submitting despite it going through.

Here's a small annoyance: http://i.imgur.com/1np3gl6.jpg

I usually have two narrow windows open side by side, but sometimes that causes the source to overlap with the Edit | Respond | Download | Full Size-row, making those inaccessible.

There are ways around that though, so it's not a serious problem.

Been receiving the 500 internal error when trying to upload, for almost 24 hours now... Anybody else in midwest NA experiencing these issues?

This appears to be a bug in the image detection routine used. I'll see about putting together a fix for some of these image uploader problems.

This has bugged me since forever. I'm amazed I haven't gotten around to fixing it yet. :/

Added to my todo list.

The preview function of aliases and implications is acting weird: at aliases if shows that you are aliasing the first line to the first line, despite having put in 2 separate tags. Example (I didn't alias this):

While in reality I put in:

The implications preview refuses to show up at all. Might be on my end, though.

Edit: I noticed that my example makes no sense as an alias, so I changed it :v

Nope definitely bug. The preview response is kind of a hack I put together at the last minute. It looks like I missed some things though.

I should be able to get this fixed by the next update.

When I search for post #874423 with eSix Extend -> Find Source -> Google
one of the results is http://e926.net/post/show/874423

You can't view the pic on e926, but it's weird that e926 appears in the search results, because the pic's Explicit rating has never been changed.

When I search posts popular_by_month or popular_by_week if I press ">>"(next page)button, page with popular TAGS opens but not with popular POSTS.("<<" button works normal)

I've got the same problems for up-voting posts and the comments on them too.

Also, just loading this forum post was super glitchy as well. It usually loads just fine, but it took really long to do so. I'm surprised it didn't time-out or something.

I had that same issue as well, alongside being unable to make comments on posts, around the same time.

Seems to have gone away at the moment.

The old bug where the blacklist reverses order every time you save your account settings is back now that autosort is gone.

Crap. Now I'm getting an HTTP 500 error whenever I try to upload a new image.

Oh well. Might as well do something else while I wait.

Got this error when I tried to upload by URL from inkbunny

Error: Source couldn't be opened: No such file or directory - /home/e621/e621-production/releases/20160126060000/public/data/10e8078dd2a272e08b734534b1b3ef64.upload

Not sure if this is a bug:
post #886486

Compare the sample on e621:
http://static1.e621.net/data/sample/ed/76/ed76a549f753fbd4069b845eecc61ba4.jpg

And the "Size: 920x1227 (536.4 KB)" version:
https://static1.e621.net/data/ed/76/ed76a549f753fbd4069b845eecc61ba4.png

The 920x1227 version is much brighter.

The autosort was actually implemented to mask that bug. The cause of the bug hasn't been found yet, so we made the blacklist sort itself to at least act more consistently, but most people found that annoying so it was reverted back to the buggy behavior.

Tags separated by tabs

post #888501
post #888500

When a user separates tags with tabs, the result looks weird.
e621 displays the tab-separated tags as a single tag in the left sidebar.

Maybe e621 could automatically replace all tabs with spaces.

I don't think the "Wiki Edits" page on my profile displays all of the edits I've made.

Penguinempire-Dennis said:

The edit count should be correct, but which pages show up is entirely dependent on which pages you were the last person to edit on...which definitely isn't ideal.

I think it's because the editor "takes ownership" (for lack of better wording) for the wiki page in the db and the list is generated from that. Put another way it's just scratching the surface.

Either way I'll make an issue for this to see if we can't fix it. :P

Not surprised. The tag count is grabbed after being cleaned (leading underscores removed, among other things). Really the wiki probably shouldn't let you make pages like that anyways...

Bug: Wrong last-poster/time info on forum thread(s?)

Example:
https://e621.net/forum/show/20024

Kristal Candeo (10 hours ago) is shown as the last post info at the time I post this. However two more posts were made by other people after Kristal's post, as you can see by actually looking at the last post in the thread.

I am definitely experiencing this as well.

Furrin_Gok said:

Okay, now I see what you mean. I am experiencing the same thing. Not even the font of the word 'forum' at the top of my screen turns Italic, like it usually does on other pages. And yet there are still new posts.

Huh, that is wonky!

It may be because of the recent update to the "Enable Roaming" feature that occurred a number of hours ago.

I wonder of logging out and disabling roaming, and logging back in that way results in the same thing, as I always turn on roaming so I can transition between using my personal devices.

UPDATE: Newly created forum posts show up just fine, but updates to older ones as well as the newer ones apparently do not.

BTW, the themes feature is glitched out too. I usually use the aurora extra, but it went back to spring when I logged in again. My main pony theme remained the same however.

It seems to be fairly arbitrary. More likely to be on recent posts, and not on threads with 0 posts.

Bug: Some undocumented(?) change to the post update API during the last 24 hours returns access denied for previously working requests (note that this is not related to the recent enforcement of supplying a valid user agent since it worked after that but not today).
Expected behavior: HTTP 200 OK
Actual behavior: HTTP 403 Forbidden

$ curl --location --globoff --verbose --include --request POST 'https://e621.net/post/update.json?login=xxx&password_hash=yyy&id=zzz' --user-agent 'abc' --data 'post[tags]=a b c&post[old_tags]=a b'

Which results in (without any exception I can find):

{"success":false,"reason":"access denied","message":"You do not have permission to access this page"}

Editing the wiki redirects to the main Help-index, instead of the article that was changed. This started after the update.

I'll look into this. Nothing related to the login code changed, but the session checks were added back in. See what I can do.

Found the cause and have a preliminary fix set up. Need to put it through testing. Likely to be deployed later today. Sorry that got all messed up.

No worries, just got a bit confused about whether I was missing something (like I did with the user agent change earlier, which I coincidentally had code for but hadn't put in 'cause I apparently hadn't figured out a good name for my tool yet :P). The API has had its quirks which meant you had to fight a bit to get it working which causes minor inconveniences when they get fixed every now and then (but which of course a positive thing). Though everything works just fine now :). Well... Except the Wiki API (as mentioned below) which I'm currently parsing from HTML.

Also got some (very?) minor bugs, piled up (I don't think they have been reported, but might have missed one or two):

Bug: Not quite a bug, more a personal preference, regarding layout and child post box jumping when expanded if both parent and child
Expected behavior: Box stays where it is when expanded
Actual behavior: Box jumps, requiring mouse movement to close again
Steps to duplicate: Expand (click) and close "Child posts" on e.g. post #893305
Suggested fix: Remove absolute positioning on #child-posts and maybe remove unnecessary #child-posts-spacer. However using this easy fix will cause all the other content below to jump down, but it's hardly a problem, since the content jumping down is not particularly interesting while doing this UI action, besides it's visible when expanded which would be a plus.

Anything that involves more than one pool/set is expected behavior, but perhaps not well documented. There can only be one pool/set item per query, and it will pick the first(last?) one. Actually, anything other than tags cannot exist more than once in a query and work as expected. It will just take the first(last?) one and uses that.

I'll look into the other bugs as part of a larger sweep on eliminating many of the more common exceptions that occur.

Understood, but then I got a related follow-up question: Would it be possible to implement such a feature, as in not requiring an unreasonable code change or performance issues? It's been far more than once that I've been wanting to do such queries, and I'm sure there would be other people who would be interested in such a feature as well (though I guess mainly useful for taggers like myself). If it's a performance issue one could at least limit the number of allowed sets/pools. If this is a "wont fix" then it might be interesting to actually give the user a visual note about how the query was actually treated. To be completely honest it's pretty user hostile to ignore input that would significantly alter the output if included. Same thing can be said about negative wildcard searching, if not fixed.

Edit: Also realized this question became more suited for the feature request thread...

I don't know if this is an older bug that hasn't been addressed yet or something recent*, but when adding a note to an image it doesn't save the positioning and size of the note bubble, reverting to where it originally appeared if you reload the page. See post #898300 for an example.

Sorting by name is the fallback when something you give it doesn't make sense (try ?order=quijibo and you will see what I mean).

I'm attempting to upload a starter image from a comic from 1993, but it appears there's an issue with the uploader. it goes to a "Something Went Wrong" screen and throws an "[Empty]" error.

Everything was filled in except for the URL's box, since this comic doesn't have a starting URL, due to age.

Tried opening it up and saving it as a new file? That should undo any corruption that may be in the way; if it's still not working, it might be part of the format; earlier issues with image uploading involved a "Secondary format"(???) that e621 doesn't support.

In my profile, while there's a link for uploads I've made that have since been deleted, it doesn't actually go anywhere.

I know there are tag search options that can find it, and from elsewhere on the forum I've made a bookmarked link, but that bit of non-functionality on the profile page is a bit annoying, if only due to a bit of mild OCDishness on my part.

Bug: Certain http (not https) urls get mangled in forum posts (and possibly comments , haven't tested that)

Example:
Both of the following links contain www. You should be able to see it in the link text in both cases:

http://www.jerrypournelle.com/reports/jerryp/iron.html
https://www.jerrypournelle.com/reports/jerryp/iron.html

However, hover over them and check what they actually link to: for the http:// one, the www has been stripped off, causing a 404 error when you try to go to it.

This appears to apply whether the link is inline or not.

I'm not claiming actual OCD, mind you, just that on some subjects the end result is somewhat similar.

Somehow, the link was incorrect. It should link here

Yes, it should, but it doesn't, even after flushing the browser cache and reloading the profile page.

Not that I don't believe you but the link always shows correctly for me (logged in, logged out, e6, e9, etc.).

Do you have any addons that could be modifying the page somehow? (aside from eSix Extend).

The bug is due to some pointless code I wrote a while back. I'll make a note to remove that entirely so links function as expected.

Nope, no addons of that sort at all.

I did notice, though, checking your profile just now for comparison purposes, that when logged in I see the problem I mentioned, but when I log out and view your profile not only do I not see the problem link, but the entire page is laid out completely differently.

I get the same result with both Waterfox 44.0.3 (Firefox derivative) and Internet Exploder 11, the latter of which doesn't have any plugins at all, e621 related or otherwise.

Using the default Hexagon theme, with no seasonal extras active.

I don't even have to look to know that you're using classic user profiles (which doesn't get as much attention as the new one).

I'll make a note to fix it for the next update.

Is there some user-editable setting for that? Or is it just a consequence of when I signed up for an account?

I looked at the settings for my account, and didn't see any type of setting to change it.

Okay, so the recent API update is killing me (again). Every time I make a post/update API call my key is automatically regenerated, meaning I would have to make two requests for every one I want to do, one to get the key and one to use it (not to mention supply my password every time I do it). I can't imagine that's how it's supposed to work, or am I missing some crucial detail?

That wasn't how it worked in testing. I'll look into it.

EDIT: Found the issue, making a patch.

EDIT2: Fix deployed.
