Not easy due to a number of factors (string parsing can be really tricky, and parentheses are already used in tag names) but it's something we've been wanting to do for a long time.

Some tags start with parentheses. It could be possible to work around this using: cat -(tag:(･3･) male)

Curly braces { } are only used in one tag accidentally. They might be the only solution. Make it impossible to put { } braces in tag names now and they can be reserved for this feature.

That leaves the problem of implementing combination tags and retagging 800,000 images.

Combination tags is a whole nother issue. I would love to have tags per-character rather than per-picture, but that would require a huge amount of work. When I gave the example of "cat -(dragon male)", I figured it would return all posts with cats, except those that include both dragons and males (which would also be satisfied by a single male dragon).

cat -{dragon male}cat {dragon male}

That leaves the problem of implementing combination tags and retagging 800,000 images.

That would be very useful if they figure out how to string it together. Not only for exclusion, but OR searches as well, which are marked with a ~ at the start. For example, ~{Trout_(artist) Kobold} ~{SSSonic2 avian} would allow me to find searches that are by Trout of a Kobold or by SSSonic2 of an avian.

Requested feature: Sorting on Comment searches

Why it would be useful: I want to be able to just look immediately to see what my most and least popular comments were... As well as maybe just looking at random comments to get that rush of nostalgia at random junk I guess.

Requested Feature:
Ability to Crop pictures to use as avatar.
Why it would be useful:
So that pictures with a large background for example, can be adjusted to just focus on the character, or so that you could use a picture of someone from a frame in a comic.

I requested this feature a while ago and didn't get any reply

Requested Feature: Advanced Forums search mechanisms, such as allowing separate fields to look for a post which has two different lines at an indeterminate distance apart, or run OR searches. The ability to look via a by: field would also be a useful way to find threads a user started, rather than just the inclusion of their name in a post (Which could be done without the by: field).

Why it would be useful: Searching for old threads in the forum would become so much easier this way, and we'd be able to point out earlier alias/implication requests that we weren't able to post via the suggestion tool due to one already existing.

Also, make the search ignore dtext :V

Example: Try searching for 'color']

If only it legitimately did use dtext. I tried user:Furrin_Gok -\[quote] and it gave me only quotes.

Which is odd, because the posts didn't say user:furrin_gok in them.

Another feature: Blacklisting tag searches. I'm trying to find any tags pertaining to Pads for the pads project and I keep getting spades.

Feature aside, ~sport ~wrestling pawpads -foot_focus (possibly add muscular and locker* to that) is what I saw most of them under when looking through them.

(by the way, I just moved the alias to pads_(disambiguation))

Lance_Armstrong said:

You also need to handle the converse -- tags that end in ).

eg cat -(mouse carrot_(artist)), in which the tag carrot_(artist) is of a standard, fairly common tag form

My answer to the above would be 'count the opening/closing parentheses'.. except.. you must expect that some character (/)'s are not 'paired up' with their counterparts in equal measure when found in tags, like (team. Therefore, you can't count on keeping track of ('s and )'s to allow you to parse them correctly.

I know \ escapes are kind of horrible, but they are probably the correct-est answer here. TMSU , for example, solves the problem this way, so that if you create two tags :) and :(, you can query for 'foo and (:) not :()' like this: foo ( :\) not :\( ). A bit ugly, but AFAICS there is no other (universally applicable) approach.

On a related topic, possibly [] or {} would be better alternatives? There is vastly less use of them:

[ ] { }

than normal parentheses () , so needing to escape those characters would have very little impact.

EDIT: OTOH, it would be harder to use them in DText links.
Another alternative is described in my post below.

savageorange said:

[ ] { }]

> https://e621.net/wiki/show?title=%60%7B~%3D%7C_%3F%7D%7B%60

This artist name makes our DText weep.

Fortunately I found their tumblr :V

Requested feature: some kind of pop-up for images like the ones in yaoiheaven

why would it be useful: so we wouldnt have to open over 9000 tabs just to view my pr0nz

Another - probably less robust, but DText-friendly - alternative to the ideas described so far for 'parenthetical searching' would be to double up, as in

This has similar problems to the single-parenthese form, but of course the frequency of (( or )) in tag names is much lower than single ( / ).

If I was writing a parser I would regard this as 'acceptable though ugly' -- people wouldn't typically write (( or )) if they weren't trying to do this, so I'd be reasonably happy with finding groups via the regexp (-)?[(][(](.+?)[)][)]( |$)

The only downside is it would cause some people to have LISP flashbacks ;)

Of course there are other cases that would need to be handled, as Tony vaguely alluded to. Metatags would probably need to be disallowed within parenthetical expressions, as would ~ and -.

EDIT:
Also hahaha this tag
-- has that hole been closed (ie. an upper limit of say 150 characters put on tag name length)?

That tag is amazing. An upper limit is definitely a good idea.

Requested Feature: The blacklist function to not use cookies anymore? That way we have (basically) infinite space to blacklist stuff?

Basically: "I love ya esix, but... I've got shit to do. xD"

Have you really hit the gigantic character limit on the blacklist? Maybe you should look into which ones imply tags that are already on the list and clean it up.

Furrin_Gok said:

They have a ton of artists on there and it's actually pretty condensed already. Not a lot they can do with it. :/

Oh, and I'd love to get away from cookies. There's a lot going on right now on the backend (software updates), but I'll see if I can set aside some time to work on this.

Yup, you helped me condense it back then. I like blacklisting stuff here. It's like a game to only see the stuff I like, and the time it saves is great :]

Okay! Well, keep up the hard work~ That'd be cool of you, thanks. <3

I did spot one you could condense: you have both stars_and_stripes and united_states_of_america blacklisted, which are implicated to each other. So you only need united_states_of_america blacklisted to keep both from showing up. It's not much, but it does free up a few more blacklist characters to play with. =)

Thank you for taking the time to spot that~ Even in the little ways you guys have been nothing but helpful :]

Requested Feature: Show the year on the tag history page.

Why it would be useful: I'm attempting to compare when different images were tagged a certain way, as well as just how long ago a certain tag change happened, and this would help prevent the assumption that something that happened several years ago only happened one year ago.

Furrin_Gok said:

You can see the exact date and time by checking the tooltips (in the Date column).

Genjar said:

Huh, I swear I had tried that before to no avail. Still, I would like an option in the settings to enable the year to be shown outside the tooltip.

Furrin_Gok said:

+1. I'd prefer it outside the tooltip since it's impossible to tell the date when on mobile.

We should add { and } to the disallowed character in tag list to future proof for new combined tag searching syntax.

Requested feature: a colored notification displaying that your comment(s), or post you wish to keep up on through another option, have received a response/comment. And an equivalent feature for forum posts.

Why it would be useful: having to manually track when comments are made, or responses are given, can be tedious when you start to accumulate posts/comments you'd wish to track; sooner or later you'd forget about them. For instance, I responded to people whom wanted to know if a certain comic would be continued several months ago, with the answer. I don't know if they have seen the answer; so my feature would make it easier for people to know if you've gotten a response on something.

NotMeNotYou said:
Personally I hate nested implications because there is no quick indication what implicates what, and having things like female_alligator & female_reptile on the same image, with both implications to alligator, reptile, female, would offer a lot of room for errors.

Would it be possible to implement a script that generates a list of implicated/aliased tags before you submit the change, with a hover-tooltip telling you which tag is giving it?

I'm also gonna add this as another statement: can someone fix up the Mobile version of this site: anytime I click on one of the top bar links (say, favorites or comments), it takes me out to desktop. Pretty much just add every other page other than post indexes and images, which have mobile versions, some less intensive and more "useful", for lack of better word, version in mobile mode. And as a kicker with this, do a "are you sure you want to..." For confirmation on any action involving comments, posting your comment and voting on others, for instance, so accidental misclicks won't occur without warning. I've already made a small rant on this to answer a comment, and I know every other person who uses mobile to view this site has clicked a vote button on accident...

I've actually noticed the going out of mobile links recently when I was going through some old pages and found it pretty annoying. I'll add this one to my todo list.

Put a tooltip/link next to Rating on the upload page.

Requested feature: Set browsing interface like pools have

How it works:

1. Search for set images
2. Links to posts add to URL "?set=3210&setimg=0" for example
3. Script reads from URL, post page displays set box on sidebar directly below search and above any pools.
4.

Pool HTML for post #666038

<div class="status-notice" style="padding:.5em;">
<div id="pool6196">
<h6>Pool</h6>
<p style="overflow:hidden;word-wrap:break-word;">
<a href="/pool/show/6196">MLP: Cutie Mark Check-Up!</a>
<span style="font-weight:bold;"><a href="/post/show/666039">&gt;&gt;</a></span>
</p>
</div></div>

If setimg=0, only link to go forward (or to the set), not back. If setimg equals posts in set minus 1, only link to go backward.

Example for post 0 in set:psyche

<div class="status-notice" style="padding:.5em;">
<div id="set3210">
<h6>Set</h6>
<p style="overflow:hidden;word-wrap:break-word;">
<a href="/set/show/3210">Psychedelic</a>
<span style="font-weight:bold;"><a href="/post/show/291003?set=3210&setimg=1">&gt;&gt;</a></span>
</p>
</div></div>

post #291003 is the second image in the set.

Example for post 1 in set:psyche

<div class="status-notice" style="padding:.5em;">
<div id="set3210">
<h6>Set</h6>
<p style="overflow:hidden;word-wrap:break-word;">
<span style="font-weight:bold;"><a href="/post/show/617191?set=3210&setimg=0">&lt;&lt;</a></span>
<a href="/set/show/3210">Psychedelic</a>
<span style="font-weight:bold;"><a href="/post/show/329124?set=3210&setimg=2">&gt;&gt;</a></span>
</p>
</div></div>

This feature can be added to the page dynamically by reading ?set=NUMBER&setimg=NUMBER from the URL.

Request: A Download button for videos/animations or duojins

Why it would be useful: Because some of the comics have way too many sides to save each image one by one.

Veriaenom said:

Why it would be useful: Because some of the comics have way too many sides to save each image one by one.

Videos and animations do have download buttons. Downloading an entire pool at once would be nifty, though.

Request: default artist sources (like an implied tag, youd be able to set a default source for lets say jasonafex linking to their tumblr if thats the default site so any image tagged with jasonafex as the artist would have that linked as a source.

why it would be useful: it would be convenient for people finding artists without everyone adding a source if they forget/ are too lazy to do so without as much impact.

Request: When you're scanning a list of tags belonging to a post anywhere on e621, somehow highlight any tags you've blacklisted. Bold and color change would seem the most obvious routes, but the blacklisted tags can also be isolated from the rest of the tags into their own section or field.

Why it would be useful: Just to more quickly pick out why a post is blacklisted. That helps when deciding if one wants to throw caution to the wind and view the post anyway. Similarly, highlighting the blacklisted tags would help prevent users who do decide to view content they've blacklisted from potentially missing some of those tags. For example, a user spots 3 out of 4 blacklisted tags on a list of many tags, opens the post, yet finds that missed tag more offensive.

Request: An "Edit Source" option on the Mode dropdown menu when viewing posts.

Why it would be useful: With inkbunny and Pixiv sources, multiple images can have the same source, so this speeds up applying it to the relevant images, such as post #824449 and post #824590.

Request: some kind of popup image viewer like the one yaoihavenreborn.com uses
Why would it be useful:so we woulnd have to open a thousand tabs in order to view our images at a nice quality

Look at my feature! Also my suggestions on page 50 in which I wrote the code already.

Other request: Increase blips per page from 30 to 36-50.

Request: Make it possible to link to a specific comment on a post, so that it opens the post but scrolls down to the comment in question (and preferably highlights it like it works in forum posts.

Why would it be useful: People would be able to link to a comment and the person who got the comment linked to can directly scroll further up or down without having to load another page.

Edit: Actually, this functionality is already partially existing, creating a link like https://e621.net/post/show/560833#comment-1718304 manually scrolls to the comment (at least in my firefox) but it does not highlight the comment.

While I'm at it.

Request: Make it possible to directly open comments from user's comment history (ie.) by clicking on the timestamp, instead of having to open the post, then search the comment, then link to it directly. (Or do it like my idea above this one).

Why would it be useful: So many clicks to be saved for moderation purposes.

Holy shit it works. Add this to your custom stylesheet:

@-moz-document domain(e621.net) {
div.comment:target {background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.25) !important;}
}

The stylesheet is called userContent.css

Bonus, separates uploaded tags into columns:

@-moz-document domain(e621.net) {
.tag-column:first-child {
height: auto !important; max-width: 45em !important;
column-count: 4 !important; -moz-column-count: 4 !important; -webkit-column-count: 4 !important;
column-gap: 10px !important; -moz-column-gap: 10px !important; -webkit-column-gap: 10px !important;
}
div.comment:target {background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.25) !important;}
}

You need to close Firefox for the stylesheet to work.

List deleted child posts

If a post has children, they are listed in the upper left corner.
Deleted child posts are not listed.
This is bad, because sometimes the deleted child posts contain information not present in the parent post.

Example:
post #762976 = parent
post #827742 = child

The parent doesn't have a source, but the child does.
Using "Reverse harry.lu Search" on the parent doesn't find the child.

If we did that, then thousands of posts would show as having child posts that nobody can view. I think that would be more annoying than anything.

You can do parent:762976 status:any, but you'd have to check them a bit blindly.

Requested Feature: Toggle all blacklist items

Why it would be useful: Sometimes, I take a look into the images that got into my blacklist, and find some exceptions to what I hated, or something didn't get tagged until after I already favorited it, and I would like to be able to just view all my favorites without having to manually disable blacklist tags one at a time when they show up on the list.

Requested feature:
Make the Source field a 5x5 matrix

Why it would be useful:
So you don't have to choose between
a) Posting a complete source (gallery + post + direct link)
b) Posting multiple sources

Present Scenario:
When viewing users Favorites and clicking on a post that a user have favourited.
Instead of manually going back and trying to remember witch post you have to click on to see next in the list

Requested feature:
previous/next in list
binded on keyboards arrow keys
like this:
<-previous next->
like on imagefap.com

Why it would be useful:
it would be so seamless and minimum distraction
and faster and some more reasons cant think off atm, faster tagging for staff probably

Specifications on the Avoid Posting artist/image wiki.

Why it would be useful: as I had just recently explained, a lot of posters and viewers are left in the dark as to WHY the artist or image is DNP/AP. My suggestion would be to have some form of tooltip or shrunken (for lack of better word) text box explaining why the artist is DNP/AP, be it so simple as "artist - site dispute" to "paid content; wait two years until posting" or "character 'X' requested DNP by artist", so people can better know before trying to post from a public art site.

- a link to the Basics section of the tagging checklist (Looks like Foo text)

This could probably be done by using header (eg h4. Basics) or section (eg \[section=Basics]foo\[/section] as 'id markers'. (not sure how markup is handled on here)

Possible e6 eg2 - Forum links

forum \#1234

- A link to forum/forum post 1234
forum \#1234#Foo - A link to the Foo section of forum/forum post 1234

This could probably be done by using header (eg h4. Foo) or section (eg \[section=Foo]foo\[/section] as 'id markers'. (not sure how markup is handled on here)

Why it would be useful: Because muh wiki markup

Try navigating this: tag group:species

As well as any long, complex forum post

I actually added this a couple months ago. :3

I added one for you: tag group:species#viverrid

Here's how you use anchors:

\[#viverrid]

- Make an anchor (you put this where you want the page to jump to, with whatever name you want to use)
[\[\#viverrid]] - Link to an anchor from the same page
\[[tag group:species#viverrid]] - Link to the anchor from a different page

Just note that anchors:

• Are more/less* case-sensitive**
• Need to start with a letter*
• Are only enabled on the wiki (anyone) and forums (priv+)
• Don't play well with section tags (if the anchor is placed inside the section, it won't work when the section is collapsed). You can get around this by sticking it right before the section, or by using \[section,expanded]

*Some browsers aren't case-sensitive, but most are
**This is actually a browser restriction, it isn't related to our software

Unrelated question: How come we stopped(?) using a dedicated bug/feature tracker?

The ones we used in the past were garbage. And having an off-site bug tracker would require that users go through extra effort to go to a new site and register a new account just to submit a bug. Or we could allow anonymous reports, but then we'd probably get a lot of spam and nonsense. So it's really just easiest for everyone to use the e621 forums right now.

Requested feature: A 5 (or 1) minute change option period for comment votes / increase the space between the two arrows.

Why it would be useful: Look at all the "Woops, I tried to upvote your comment but my stupid IPad!" comments.

They're working on a permanent fix to allow them to be undone at any point in time, not just in a short span of time.

I previously requested that the upload page include radio buttons for basic tags like zero_pictured/solo/duo/group or feral/anthro/humanoid. One improvement that can be more easily rolled out is adding tags by default to the Uploaded tags section in Account settings. For example:

anthro
feral
----------
male
female
----------
solo
duo
----------
nude
clothed

I think this could improve tagging a lot, especially for beginners who haven't seen the tagging checklist, which is essentially what this is an abbreviated version of.

That's good to know, I've seen frustration about it all around e621.

What is a "Radio button"?

Like a checkbox, but round instead of square and only one can be selected at once.

Eugh, yeah I forgot about what a hassle the tracker turned out to be

Hmm, well what about..

Requested feature: A bug/feature tracker that's part of the *e621* domain?

i.e You'd be able to navigate to some page, maybe under the Tools section:

https://e621.net/tools/foo-tracker

Why it would be useful:

• + Can help prevent/identify duplicate entries
• + Doesn't require an additional account/signup so it's easier to use/ much more accessible

• +/- Allows all members to easily keep track of requested/implemented features/bugs/fixes & commits
• +/- Can be directly integrated with the e621 db(?) to directly make use of stuff like user levels and profile records

• - Requires significant planning to implement (not to mention that risks like spam etc. are still somewhat present)
• - Modifications or tracker updates (server-side) may require total site downtime
• (This could probably be mitigated via a dedicated server for the tracker etc, but I don't know anything about the server end)

If they handle it like posts, where accounts have a limit to the number of uninvestigated reports they can have at a time, that would cut out on spam, and when attempting to post it could run a "Duplication detection" similar to Gamefaq's question posting, where it shows you a list of related posts first and asks if you're sure you want to post it, so people can find posts that should be related by still post if it actually isn't.

How about this...
Everyone can look at the bugs/requests, but only admins can add bugs/requests to the tracker.
The admins would find them in the bug/request threads on the forum.

We do have an internal bug tracker that we use (we've been organizing things on there a lot more recently) but it isn't something we can integrate with the site.

At the very least I think a new forum category just for bugs/troubleshooting would be better than the huge thread we currently have.

Feature request: Subscribe to sets.

1. Allow users to subscribe to sets.
2. Publicly display number of subscribers on https://e621.net/set/index and allow sort by subscribers
3. sub:username or other syntax is the same as searching ~set:17 ~set:3396 ~set:1484 which includes all sets subscribed to by the user
4. Put set subscriptions in the blank space under Sets on the user profile
