Clickable timestamps. Who would have thought about that?

I should really start clicking everything.

Should not a preview of a post accurately render any tags used within the post, appearing exactly as they would in the post, itself?

If this can be implemented I think it would be a good feature.

We're not Twitter, so why should our blips have a character limit of only 255 characters?

Relatedly, why don't we have a counter counting off the remaining characters for our blips?

I think a tool that would allow users to request a takedown of a post they uploaded, either privately or publically, would be useful (not the FFD tool). Often times there seems to be some reason, like a mistake, that users want to remove the posts they have uploaded.

If it's not their art, then they have no authority over whether or not it stays. If it was uploaded by mistake, they can always just flag it, but if it's within our posting standards, then it will stay.

So are you saying that they lose all ownership and rights (if they didn't draw or commission it) of/to the image once it is uploaded to the site?

Yes, you are the artist of the picture or you have no rights over the picture in question, no matter your relation to it.

Feature request: New Tag relationship "means" or "stands for" or "synonym to" OR upgrading the alias.

What should it do? It would be nifty to have the ability to search broader or otherwise established terms without the need to have those tagged.
For example stallion, we don't tag this for various reasons, however, it would be rather intuitive to type it into the searchfield and the site automatically changes it into a search for equine male.
The same could probably be used to further streamline tagging a bit by doing the same.

Downside: The actual percantage of stallions in the searchresults would be rather slow thanks to our tagging, the result would still be the same, however achieved with fewer searchterms.
It would also require a rather big exception/alias list, would however conserve some space since it would only be a "A gets replaced with 'B -C'" list and not a tag on hundreds of pictures.

There would probably also be the people who then complain about female equines with male humans in the picture but we already have those complaining about everything else so they'd only get something new to post about.

I allow takedown requests by the uploaders of a post if they request removal of the post within 48 hours of when they uploaded it. I know mistakes sometimes happen and an uploader posts something that they later realize they shouldn't have. However, after that initial grace period, only the artist, character owner, or copyright owner of the image itself can request its removal.

Also I'm not sure if you're already aware of our takedown request system here: http://e621.net/take_down

I'm going to assume that not all the admins/mods have the same process for situations like these. I'd like to think that users have some right to the images they upload but the ruling is really up to the site's policy.

Also I'm not sure if you're already aware of our takedown request system here: http://e621.net/take_down

I am, but I thought that the system was meant to be used by artists and copyright holders who wished for a post to be removed, not for users who wanted a post that they had uploaded to be removed.

Pool's Need a "Fav Pool" button :< and maybe a small section similer to the recently uploaded, recently faved, section of the profile :D
Call it "recently faved pools"

All bugs and request features can now be submitted directly to http://bugs.ouroboros.ws, as it is easier for us to track them there. You may still post feature requests here, and we'll add them to Mantis manually.

You may create your own account if you wish, but you can also just click Login Anonymously. Then click Report Issue at the top of the page to create a new bug report or feature request.

Requested feature: The ability for Privileged and up level users to be able to lock tag changes to posts. Or at least a button that requests the tags be locked by an admin, similar to the FFD button.

Why it would be useful: The ability to stop tag wars, and noob taggers from changing them due to not reading the rules or mistaking something for something else. (IE: Gay =ing rainbows and anal masturbation...)
The button idea would keep people from just locking for the sake of it or to keep the right tags from being used. You could also give the admin the ability to add/remove tags even if its locked so they dont have to unlock/relock every time they need to make changes.

Sorry, i tried the new site, i'm so fried atm i have no idea how to post on there xD

Denied.

Requested feature:
The ability to quick remove tag, and tags, that are implicated by it from picture

Why it would be useful:
Sometimes there are cases when one tag is often misused, and it implicates some other tags, that are also not valid. (MLP example - tagging solo changeling pics with pony, which implies horse and equine.) It would be nice if there would some possibility to remove it quicker. (Like typing "-pony" in tags, or ctrl-cliking on tag, when it's on related/favorite tag list, or something like that.)

maybe It's a bit heavy duty, but something to indicate what in a picture deemed a tag appropriate?

like: holding your mouse over the tag will show a box in the picture, indicating where this tag is relevant or what justifies it.

this could prevent some wars in the future.

Sounds useful, but probably would have to be done manually, and with all the existing images...

The version of this that I'm wanting to see us implement is for admins/mods to have the ability to lock or forbid single tags on posts, rather than all tags on a post entirely. I specifically DON'T want to see the ability to lock all tags on a post, as I can't think of a single instance where this would be needed and it'd prevent others from adding additional valid tags in the future.

furballs_dc said:

I was thinking that it would be used conservatively. Mostly just where it was needed as proof or explanation, thus it will not be necessary to work with old pictures unless there is a war still raging in the comments.

The use of this feature should be voluntary and as I said, used when needed.

I was thinking of just having it unlock itself after a week, so that everyone can calm down on the post

Aurali said:

some way of showing in a picture what part of it justifies a certain tag.

I'm thinking something similar to notes, but only visible when asked for.

all this to help prevent or stop tagging wars.

it should probably be available upon upload and the suggestion is to have it become open to the public one week later, so that the comments can have a chance to calm down.

Aurali said:

I was requesting being able to lock tags on a post and then have the lock remove itself after a week, that way everyone can calm down and tag it properly

oh, haha xD

I thought we were discussing the same thing :P

Feature:
Add viewcount to submissions.
Distinguished by different IPs that accessed the submission.

reason:
It's super interesting!

Not sure when it happened, but thank you for adding order:random! It's a great feature.

Feature: If you, for some reason, hid a forum post of yours, you should be able to unhide it.

reason: You get access denied if you try to unhide it via logging in again. What if you made a point or a neat suggestion and you accidently clicked the Hide text...can't un-hide it due to 'you don't have permission' :/

I'm proposing a function that allows more ads for users that want to bring in more money to e6 by voluntarily exposing themselves to them.

Could be a on/off box in account settings to sign up.

The extent of the ads should be enough to bring some profit to the site without scaring people off from using the feature.

personally, I wouldn't mind having the front page being an ad, I wouldn't mind having my account page taking a big ad somewhere either.

I don't think this feature should come with any special privileges, thereby tempting people to exploit it, but perhaps a text that says "contributor", or "special person" instead of "member" under your name. just something small and meaningless that people can show off with. (kind of like hats)

please, just don't do pop-ups or wait times... everyone hates those...

I would definitely sign up for this.

edit: I just realised contributor exists. I guess we're stuck with special person xD

Feature requesting: Editing posts on images.

Reason: Say you made a type or said something completely different towards the wrong image, you could edit that post without having to submit another post.

e.g post #270566
response: It's not COMPLETELY disappeared yet ;)

Edit: Emphesis instead of Bold.
-------------
I understand there is a PREVIEW button, but what if, for some reason, the user did a Post (without Preview)?

Feature: Private hidden notes on users profiles

Reason: Second Life had this. I was probably one of only three people that used it, but it was super helpful for remembering things about everyone. Just a little text box that only you can see, attached to each users profile.

Feature: there should be a "unlocked:notes" just like there is a unlocked:rating and a way to reverse them like locked:rating or ratelock:on/off

I'm thinking some sort of indication to what thread is being browsed.

this could be useful when browsing several threads at the same time. it's easy to become confused when it gets off-topic or just got to a new page.

Just a random idea: The ability to temporarily not load full images (meaning thumbnails only). This could save the site bandwidth for times when we're just going through our commented-on images to see if anybody's said anything, and not actually trying to load images.

It's not about saving me bandwidth, because if that were the case I could just turn images off in the browser. This is only if it would be any meaningful savings to you. If it wouldn't be meaningful savings, then nevermind. :P

Try checking your browser's titlebar (waay up there ↑)

I'm on a horse (phone) so that thing is usually hidden, but just knowing about it is enough for me :3

New search term:

newerthan:6

Limits search results to posts newer than 6 (or however many) hours, by upload time (not approval time).

Could save site bandwidth by early-termination of searches, and makes it easier to keep track of favourite searches without using RSS.

Wiki for epilepsy_warning states:

Artist: epilepsy warning

Not actually an artist, this tag is for animated images or flashes containing any form of flashing lights, as such things may cause epileptic seizures in viewers suffering from epilepsy; the reason this is listed as an artist tag is so that the bright orange colour stands out in the tag list, alerting epileptics of the potential danger.

Maybe, instead of this artificial solution, there should be another type of tags, that are some kind of warning, like epilepsy_warning, cub, rape etc.

Cub and rape are categorizations, not warnings.

Foobaria said:

Rape - http://e621.net/forum/show/23053

Cub - http://e621.net/forum/show/2402

Yes, they are also categorizations, but they have also warning message behind them.

e926.net needs some work (see announcement for link),

- Random should random between rating:s images only. It mostly doesn't work ATM.
- Comments should only show comments for rating:s only.
- Popular should be filled with popular rating:s images.
- Just generally less reminders of adult content, and no reminders would be better.

This might already be somewhere on this site or otherwise, but I don't know of it and I'm lazy.

Why not have some sort of IQDB-esque reverse image search function for E621? Depending on how it was set up it could index other furry-booru type sites, although I don't really know of/use any other good ones.

Sorry if this has been mentioned before.

You want to try images.google.com.
They index nearly every site out there and have waaaay better servers for this. They also have addons for your browser of choice so that you can search these pics with a rightclick.

Google image search doesn't work well on booru sites, the quick search I did brings up a thumbnail of the right image but no way to get to it.

I haven't looked up any addons, but I usually do my searching by URLs from other sites, and unless its going to a separate proper database search instead of google images or some other spotty indexer, I'm not sure how well it'd work.

Apparently e621 have been bad, and that's what it got for xmas.

Could the Next/Previous buttons be added to the mobile version post pages?

Seems to be working now, I guess the site is just flaky sometimes.

I hereby suggest that we have a "Back to forum" (or something) button placed at the bottom of thread pages so that one does not have to scroll all the way back up again to return to the main forum.

Reason: simplicity.

Are there many instances where you're using a program without a "back" feature? Using said feature would always be preferred, both for you and the server, because it would likely use a cached copy.

Foobaria said:

I'm using a program with a "several tabs" feature which does not register history when opening a new tab. (Opera)

Could we have a page navigation thingy at the top too? It's currently only at the bottom...

It's a little silly to be browsing "forwards" (towards the most recent) on the site, since the page navigation is at the bottom, and the most recent post is at the top. I start from the bottom, browse to the top, then scroll back down to get to the previous page.

it's not like it's killing me, but it just seems a bit more intuitive, and a simple fix, to have the navigation be at the top too =)

It would be nice to be able to blacklist certain forum threads by number, so they just don't show up in the list. (Client/server side, doesn't matter really.)

I have recently been giving some thought to TWYS regarding tags like incest and the such.

A, notice a, solution could be to have meta-tags. This would mean some immense amount of extra work, but is would solve this debate.

What I mean is that there could be an alternative set of tags which could be sought for as an alternative way of searching, and added in the same way. (actually the searching thing was something I came up with just now, might be a bad idea)

These tags would allow outside information and would be visible upon a click of a button or something. Herein could be placed tags such as incest, gender/sex (when not otherwise obvious), character names and artist? or other tags that aren't objectively observable in the image.

This idea is susceptible to change, but I thought it was worth posting anyway.

And at least one tag-war per day, as people disagree as to what this meta-information entails, as it devolves into smaller and more-remote sources. First, it'll be a well-known herm, then it'll be a herm stated on the source page, then it'll be a herm stated in a comment on the source page, then it'll be a herm stated in another page from the same artist, then it'll be a herm well-known amongst the fans of that artist but not really explicitly stated, then it'll be a herm the fans of that artist have decided for themselves which the artist simply hasn't disputed, then...

I agree with Foobaria. TWYSNWYK may not be a perfect policy, but it's the only one that can result in consistent tagging of images.

The only other way I could see to resolve it would be to have a separate group of "disputed" tags per image, a list of tags that users could vote up or down.

Edit: Edited to greatly expand on my thoughts. Reader beware.

How about a function that lets us browse recently commented images as we browse when searching for tags?

maybe like order:comment or something?

just so you don't have to scroll through a bunch of comments to see what pictures are being discussed.

We have that! It is the blacklist in your account settings and here is some help with it.

You can also exclude things from you tagsearch by simply negating the term.

For example -my_little_pony equine will only show posts of equines without mlp in them.

You can use The Blacklist to do this:

my_little_pony
friendship_is_magic
watersports
anything_else_you_don't_want_to_see

It would be really nice to get some kind of notification or have some special history for when people remove tags you've added.

And? Titan's talking about posts users have tagged, not uploaded.

How about being able to suggest multiple implications/aliases at once without creating more than one thread? Would be useful for suggesting bulk aliases/implications.

Also, a way of seeing what type of account a user has on an image they post instead of clicking through to their profile. Something like this:
"Posted: 41 minutes ago by ippiki_ookami (Admin)"
"Posted: 2 hours ago by 720p (Member)"

I also think it should list the membership type on tag and note history too.

Sorry, I was too vague. I meant why did he care about the user-ranking of people tagging/uploading since the merit of art and the correctness of tags does not depend on the person doing it.
