For all I know, this might be an intentional change. But in case that it isn't...

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

You can change it from your settings page.

Basically instead of using the same code as avatars/the post index, thumbs had it's own code written in dtext. I made it so that they use the same code (which fixed a bug or two).

I'll take a poke at it now, should be easy to make it look like it did before.

Can't change parent of post #914412

This post doesn't appear to have a parent, but:
When you click "edit", you can see that the "Parent Post ID" field contains the number 6268.
But this number is grayed out, and you can't delete or change it.

For some reason I can't seem to log in though the API (xml). It just gives me <error type="login failed"/>

Also the /user/show API is broken:

Are you using the new API key system? If not check out https://e621.net/user/api_key, just use that instead of your password hash.

Also not sure what's up with /user/show (if it ever worked?), but /user/index works and gives at least some info.

I'll look into it. I seem to recall it worked before, but it isn't now. How odd.

Logins are disable through the API unless you have an API key generated. Need to generate an API key before it will go through.

Well I should have mentioned that I'm getting the <error type="login failed"/> when calling /user/login
My username and password were correct, as I used a bookmark to get the password_hash before and the argument names (name and password) didnt change as far as i can tell or is there another way to get a API key

Edit: also would be nice to get the userID in the response :)

It will return an API key to you, but only if you have generated one. If there is no API key on the account, it will always tell you login failed. If there is an API key it returns it through the /user/login page. The documentation is all up to date on the wiki. https://e621.net/help/show/api#basics

You need to generate an API key from the website under the my account page. There is a dedicated page for enabling API access and regenerating api keys.

I found what I believe to be a glitch when using more than one type:[x] line in a single search, which causes only the last line to be searched.
Example: type:gif type:webm
When I do this search, only posts with the webm file type are shown.

This is known, and occurs for all metatags. Not having access to the code, I would guess it occurs because the query parsing code just dumps each metatag term into its own dedicated variable, and adds that to the query once it finishes parsing, rather than building the database query as it goes along.

Tho the DMail API seems to be undocumented I guess /dmail/show.xml?id= should not return

Maybe it's related to the other one?

This is a very correct assumption, and a current limitation of the parser. Named tags are limited to a single use each. It's something to look into for later, but involves rewriting the entire search system.

Undocumented APIs don't have any sort of tests on them, and usually don't have any templates at all. Usually if you're getting an exception for an API that isn't listed in the documentation, it's because there isn't supporting code to format the entities for the API.

Found two super mini UI bugs when searching on https://e621.net/user:

• Form is not autofilled with GET parameters
• Clicking table headers discard all GET parameters except "order"

They are when "Dynamically resize images" is set, but not "Show reduced samples."

animperfectpatsy said:

Correct, our resizer (the thing that resamples images to a lower resolution, not the thing that just shrinks the full-size image down) doesn't support animated images or flashes (at least GIFs, dunno about APNG). A workable solution may just be to dynamically resize those cases even when using samples.

animperfectpatsy said:

TonyLemur said:

Ohh, that was useful! Just tried the reduced samples option, and gif resizing works

The filesizes are the same though, when you download the image (not via Download)

Does it actually allow you to dl the reduced sample version?
AFAICT data-sample_url and src both point to the same thing:

https://static1.e621.net/data/04/a7/04a7b04e4589772285b25dc4bb93d1c9.gif

Known issue: Favorites/Voting are not working right now. It should be resolved in a few minutes.

EDIT: It appears that most write actions are not currently working. We're working on the issue.

EDIT #2: Problem has been resolved. Favorites/Voting/Editing/Uploading should work again.

Jim just tried to kill E6 again. 3c12eb66a4be63ce187eec788c9d0c0f Was his calling card. Tried adding tags to a post, and when hitting enter, he showed up with this.

Is anyone else getting the "He's dead Jim" error message on the upload page?

Edit: Seems to working fine again.

One of my recent tickets (ticket #23908) got submitted twice. But I didn't do anything out of ordinary. Just a temporary hiccup? The servers were having some trouble at the time.

I meant we could make it so that gifs act like you have "Dynamically resize images" when you have "Show reduced samples" on, since surely if you want to see smaller images, a gif resizing to the window is better than not resizing at all.

On my first attempt to upload post #873493 (warning: absurd res), the post failed to upload, and the error message printed was 'Error: Sample couldn't be created: IDAT: CRC error'.

On my second attempt, using the same image with the same tags, sources, etc., the post uploaded fine. Not sure what happened there, since posting other material of even larger res and file size from the same artist and gallery worked fine.

Just had the same problem today trying to upload post #922755 the first time around. Would appreciate someone explaining why this happens.

HTML5/.webm videos on e621 are not working on mobile. - Any other website with HTML5 support for mobile does.

(I'm using iOS8.1 iPad2)
(Not actually sure about Android, because e621.net has an unofficial app for that mobile OS.)

So when I load page with a HTML5/.webm video on e621.net the play button shows, but when I hit the/that play button nothing happens, even when I try to play it directly from the "Download" link.

Like I said in the title above, this only happens on e621.net and that all other sites that I have used/been on that have the support of HTML5/.webm for mobile, successfully works every time.

I thought the website..this website deliberately only allowed webm videos so it was instantly supporting mobile users.
(^That didn't meant to sound harshly at all^. ;) )

IIRC iOS doesn't support webm.

Your blip was too long. There just isn't a good error message for it yet.

KiraNoot said:

That's odd, the counter said I still had a few characters remaining, IIRC it was around 247/255.

Could it have been something to do with the formatting?

DragonFox69 said:

Could it have been something to do with the formatting?

If you use Windows it might have been counting newlines as 2 characters instead of 1. The on-site counter still has some quirks like that. Also, it's likely that the ö is still being encoded in the db with more than one character as well, which would cause an error like that, even though it passed elsewhere.

I'll see if I can write up a fix tonight.

Yellowfin_Tuna said:
On the subject of blips, there also isn't a proper message for when one tries to save an edit to a blip after the initial "can-edit" period has expired. Just the ol' 500 error. :>

I rarely use blips, and edit timeouts don't apply to admins, so I never knew this was a thing. There is actually a proper message already, the 500 error means there's a bug preventing it from working properly.

I'll see if I can send a fix for the next update.

I don't think it's a cache issue on my end since it shows up like that on my phone's browser as well (not logged-in) over the carrier network (as opposed to, say, local wi-fi).

This is a known issue with favorites. Basically it's on our end not yours, so cache wouldn't matter here.

I'm not sure if this has been reported, but the XML API doesn't return artists correctly.

Bug: In the XML response for posts, the artist JSON array is converted into HTML entities twice, meaning that after decoding the HTML entities, there are still HTML entities.

Possibly related to the unexpected errors I've been getting for the last hour, randomly, when trying to post comments? I half-assumed it's an issue with my net, but they're not standard networking errors like 404, 403, 500, etc so I don't know what the string is. Kinda looks like a hash though so I'm assuming it's an ID string for the server-side event log.

Each error is a different attempt to comment that more or less timed out with those popping up at the top, "Comment posted" style, so they're unique strings..

As with the above, I seem to be having problems with the comment vote system, where it lags and doesn't display my vote, even after refreshing. Don't know if it's the same thing, though.

Hah, right after posting that report (which I could only see had actually been posted by viewing the topic list) I couldn't even open this thread anymore. Or anything on the forum, really.
My last upload that made me file the complaint in the first place also didn't appear to want to upload, until I looked at the Posts page and it popped up there, while still giving the "posting upload" message in the other tab that was stuck on the upload page.

Oh well, all seems fixed now including the pooling issue.

Favorites seems to be working now, well done.
