Did you help them make this? You are an admin after all.

Impossibru!
All the pictures I've uploaded only say they have one or two favs... ;^;

I am responsible for the coding in it's entirely. You should enjoy it.. After all the update has a large stem from 20pc >.>

Ponies infecting your e621 at the source.

MWUAHAHAH *cough cough*

The things below the thumbs make it a helluva lot easier to detect troll flashes.

I did probably at least 50% of the work :P

Not a huge fan of the post thumbnail stats, but I can see how it would be useful to some people. Forum looks a bit more cluttered, but we worked at it for hours and it looks much better than it was going to :)

Faves in the thumbnail stats needs to be fixed, and the stats are unreadable on skinny images, but apparently that's unfixable. Page numbers on the forum topics are redundant and just plain not useful.

Couldn't they just make the thumbnail stats always be a set width, regardless of the width of the image?

I find a lot of use in them thank you

Then you get thumbnails that are 20px wide, with a bar under it that's 50px wide, and that would be severely ugly.

So you'd rather squash that 50px wide bar to 20 px, making it useless and unreadable? :S

I can see why some people might like it, but I think it's just cluttering things up. Is there a way to disable it?

Updated by anonymous

Not a fan of the thumb-stats. They do nothing i care about and just clutter up the list for me, and i haven't seen any option to turn them off.

Updated by anonymous

A lil cluttery on droidy phone but im getting used to it... Seems nifty

Updated by anonymous

Pretty neat. I like the upvote/downvote count especially.

Updated by anonymous

Only privilege+ users are counting for the favorites.

Updated by anonymous

I'll add a user option to hide thumbnail stats later since a lot of people don't like it.

Updated by anonymous

Love the stats. Now I know if something has comments, or if it's not worth clicking on. :D

I think a good alternate option might be for thumbnail stats to only appear if you hover your mouse over the thumbnail. So your options are "Always On", "Only On Hover", or "Off".

Updated by anonymous

They liked "quoted string" searching on the comments so much that they mentioned it twice in the change log :3

I was having an issue with some images not resizing as per the selected options in my account settings. Both of the resize options are selected, some images of equal dimensions were resized while others weren't, refreshing didn't help, and my browser is Tor's Firefox (hope that's not an issue).

An example of an image that wasn't resizing properly: https://www.e621.net/post/show/63689

I seem to have fixed it by going to my profile settings and saving, having changed nothing. The images were properly resized upon refreshing.

Thought someone might have wanted to know...

This does not appear to be the cause of the bug. fav:$priv+user (checked on privileged and admin) can turn up images with 0 faves reported.

Updated by anonymous

I think the issue is that for some reason the faves aren't being retroactively recorded.

I rather like the new stats. It makes it easy to keep track of comments and stuff.

the user profile system was rebuilt because of a critical issue with the blacklist.. it's odd that might be affected but good to know.

Updated by anonymous

I like it, though I do not know how important it is to know how many comments a image has. Votes and favs are useful for getting a broad idea of the quality of the image before you click it.

Just remember: Everyone has a different way of using the site <3 Something that isn't useful to you might be really useful to someone else. :)

(in this example ... someone who enjoys reading others comentary, someone interesting in keeping an eye out for drama, etc. a high comment count might encourage more people to just go "I wonder what they said.." and click :))

Updated by anonymous

There are some things I may like and others I may not. Each time something new appears I have the same way of processing it. Just get used to it. Unless it is something that utterly horrifies me, I just try it out and see whether I can get accustomed to it, and usually I do.

The only disadvantage I see from the new update is an asthetic dipleasure, which I don't seem to mind. It's good to see that there are options for those who would rather not view the improvements.

Updated by anonymous

Oh hey favesare working now. Pretty interesting to see how many people fave pictures.

By the way, just a suggestion, but perhaps fav'ing a picture should automatically upvote it as well? If I remember right, it worked like that way back in the old days (derp).

Restricting a feature to particular account levels requires more work than letting it be unrestricted.

Once a restriction is implemented, assuming it is implemented in a sane manner, the work required is either changing or adding one word/number/however they implement the account level identifier.
If the restriction takes the form of a list of account levels, the total work is changing [admin,mod,janitor,contributor,privileged] to [admin,mod,janitor,contributor,privileged,member], or if the restriction has an ordered list of account levels to work on, the total work is changing [privileged+] to [member+].

There's always the chance that the restriction system is implemented in a less than completely sane manner, but I doubt that.

Maybe it's a remnant of the original ouroborosdanbooru code

I hate it because now I can't play my "guess the rating" game.

you ruined the site for my delicate sensibilities, I'm going to fchan now.

Updated by anonymous

The thumbnail info is useful, but even better would be to show the rating in them. Just a coloured S/Q/E would be enough.

Make your browser window wider or switch to a higher resolution.

True. Same happened to me. Is this a new update?

Updated by anonymous

Mine has four. I use firefox, maybe it's when you're on a phone?

Anyway.
Of all the new things that I've discovered so far, there is none I see as obsolete or unpleasant.
In fact, Ilike what you did, or at least what I remember from it. I know that there was something particular that bothered me before, I think... but i don't remember.,....

Updated by anonymous

I have 5 on my laptop, but 3 on my phone, even when viewed horizontally.

Updated by anonymous

It seems to max out at 12 columns, though I think I can make room for 16 or 17 if I wanted. I usually use a window size which allows for 7 columns.

Updated by anonymous

I removed an errornous element causing a ton of trouble, Everything is where it's supposed to be.

That 'last' button has always been there :P

You're right, it has. But it changed color, and...something about the page numbers? Something else was done to the forum. Anywho, subcategories are wonderful, and I love you.

Page numbers from the forum index, I think it was. The bolded bit was added:
Keep a word, Drop a word last (1 2 3 ... 49 50 51)

UPLOAD PREVIEW ♥♥♥

Updated by anonymous

I <3 the upload preview
makes tagging much more convenient

Updated by anonymous

I do not like the new mouseover. I find having the ratings on the stats bar a bit redundant, since there's a thumbnail right there, but I don't mind extra information.

And yes, I know the new mouseovers can be turned off, and in fact I did so. Hopefully the back end updates are helpful, too.
