When editing a tag If you enter </3, the tag name will not be displayed in tag analysis and only the count will be displayed.

it dosn't like displaying anything with </ in it, probably intended to stop people typing dumb stuff like </div> in it and breaking the whole page

If you're talking about the "Tag Changes" when editing a post, this is actually a feature of re621 and not something native.

Should be fixed in RE621 version 1.5.46.

Sometimes, upvoting on tag aliases/implications returns a popup error: "not found", guess as in a 404? It usually still votes either way, but that seemed a bit odd for me.

Holding down A/D (pools) or left/right arrow (post/search) causes the browser to keep sending requests for prev/next page, eventually leading to a error 503

Discovered on FireFox 103.0.2 (64-bit), Manjaro Linux
Sorry about if i broke something by doing this, i dropped something on my KB and wanted to confirm that the error was reproducible

change_seq is incremented everytime anything in a posts data is changed, user visible or otherwise. This includes tag updates done through aliases and implications, which are not visible in a posts version history until a manual update is made.

Something I've often wondered: why not? It would make version history much more readable not to have the automatic changes mixed up with the manual ones.

I'd assume it's a waste of resources, applying large aliases and implications already takes a long time without having to also create thousands of entries into the post changes database too.

Though it would be nice if there was some sort of visual indicator on the tag edit that it was automatically added, perhaps using a different color to green or using a symbol that isn't +. People have asked me before why I added a certain tag to a post when it was actually applied by an implication that later got added.

Not sure how to add image link using DText. So, not sure if this one was reported but when disambiguating some old tags, I got a negative count on number of existing examples. Purely a cosmetic bug, but figured I'd tell you. Link should vanish in a month so left description and how to reproduce this bug.

had you removed any tags from deleted posts, maybe? since deleted posts don't add to a tags count it could be that you removed more tags than were on the count, assuming that removing a tag from a deleted post lowers the tag count.

Hmm, these were old and approved posts, I think. I didn't see any 'deleted' ones. I wonder if it has to do with it being an invalid tag.

Tags on deleted posts were included in the count until rather recently, but that isn't the case anymore. The count for this tag should be fixed now.

i dont know if this is a bug, or if i am doing something wrong, but i can't see any comments on any image. in case its related, i just posted a bunch of images (im a commissioner and i decided to start putting some of my old images on this site)

Please check that Settings -> "Advanced" -> "Hide comments" is set to "No".

Accidentally added them to blocklist like with uBlockOrigin's picker tool?

that was the problem, though i dont understand why an ad blocker wold have any effect on the comments. thank you for the help

darvidd2 said:

Well, way it works is say, I have a part of the site for "Submit" button below. If I right-click on it and select 'block element', I get the following list in the picker window:

##.btn
###new_forum_post.new_forum_post.simple_form
###topic-response
###a-show
###c-forum-topics
###page

If I preview that first one, I lose the button, second one, I lose the entire form for commenting, and so on. The reason this works is something called a "Div" (divider? a sort of handler like a folder/filename but for the web page's text) that breaks a page up into sections. The adblocker was being told to block "##.list-of-forum-posts", most likely. This just happens to match the object otherwise known as the list of comments. XD Yeah, if curious open Inspector to view what the raw HTML looks like.

When I specify a category on the tag_aliases or tag_implications page, I get the following error message.

An unexpected error occurred.

Log ID: 49564355-720e-48d0-8f76-b20629e1a88a

...or rather, a different ID is displayed every time even if you send the same request every time or reload.

Yeah, my fault. I made a change which had this as an unintented side effect. I already made a fix which will be part of the next deploy.

For now you can specify an order other than "Status" and it should work.

The same message is displayed after page 134 on the Post Changes page.
https://e621.net/post_versions?page=133 https://e621.net/post_versions?page=134
Probably because the search results exceed 10000.

The implication my_little_pony -> hasbro is not working correctly, posts uploaded today with the former tag did not have the latter.

topic #22269 currently shows up on the forum index as having 2 pages, when in fact it has 3. Are there hidden posts getting double-counted or something?

It seems there's an issue when the last page only has one post, the link for the last page is for the next-to-last page. I don't think it has anything to do with hidden posts, it seems to more be an off-by-one error in calculating the page count from the number of posts.

New bug started today. Using Firefox to view, CTL-Click is no longer opening images ion a new tab like its supposed to. Instead, I get a green banner that says FAVORITE REMOVED. This is isolated to this website only, and only in Firefox. Chrome seems unaffected

It's not a bug.
Set "Mode" dropdown in the sidebar to "View". You currently have it set to "Unfavorite".

Not sure if this was mentioned before or not...

I went to my user profile today, and where it shows "Favorites" there's an image at the top that I've never seen before. All of the ones under it are actually my recent faves, but this one on top is one I've never viewed before. And when I go to this image, the Favorite icon is green as if I haven't faved it, but if I click on the fav button it says I've already faved the image... The image is also from 2 years ago.

Image in question: https://e621.net/posts/2449694

Bug: e621 shouldn't blindly change http to https in source URLs, as some older sites don't support HTTPS and probably never will. e621's automatic URL rewriting breaks the links to those sites.

This has been brought up before...
...in this thread: 2020-03 , 2020-09 , 2021-07 , 2021-10
...in other threads: 2020-06 , 2022-10 (me)

If a fix is not possible or not going to be implemented, can we get an official WONTFIX statement to refer to?

Thanks!

When I turn or leave the blacklist on, it starts blocking EVERYTHING after a search, no matter what is in my list, until I turn the whole list off. This has happened on here for over a decade, now. Don't know what else to say about it.

You have -invalid_tag on your blacklist.
That tells the site to filter out everything except for posts that have an invalid_tag.

You should probably remove that.

Thanks. Always 1 little thing, isn't it? I think that minus might have come from copy-pasting, too.

Unsure if this is an intentional change, but I just discovered I do not have permission to view one of my own tickets: ticket #115743

I believe this was a report for the OP of a forum topic that has since been hidden.

Lately I have often been getting 403 errors when trying to post, update tags, add to set, etc. Other than that, I can browse just fine. I access e621 over TOR, and doing a "new TOR circuit to site" sometimes resolves this, but not always. Regardless, it only fixes it temporarily.

Whenever I try to change any of the settings in my account, such as toggling one of the advanced options or adding something to my blacklist, I get the message "Email has already been taken" after hitting submit, and none of my changes are saved or applied.

I can log in completely fine, and have no evidence of any sort of account breach. This just seems like a weird bug with the account settings page.

I saw this animation showing up as on my blacklist: https://e621.net/posts/3656676

It says it was blocked due to the following tags, none of which appear to be attached to it:
male anal_beads
male gaping_anus
male cum_in_ass
male solo_focus
loona_(helluva_boss)
death
male solo

It's a video of a female Renamon and a male Impmon. Not sure what's happening there.

The animation itself matches male cum_in_ass; the rest are commenters' avatars.

Send a password reset request, I'm fairly sure you will get two because another account you created has the same email. Delete the other account or change its email and you will have no problems changing settings anymore.

That worked, Thank you.

Not really an e621 bug but "Reverse Google Search" link under posts is not working. Google now redirects it to the main image search page.

It must have broken very recently because I was using it just yesterday and everything was fine.

kora_viridian said:
I think this might be related to Google trying to drive traffic to "Google Lens".

Even without following a link from an e621 post, it used to be that I could go to https://images.google.com/ , click the camera icon in the search box, put an image URL in the search box, click the magnifying-glass icon, and get the reverse image search results.

For at least the past few days, when I click the camera icon, the search box expands into a box titled "Search any image with Google Lens". There is a drag-and-drop target, and a box at the bottom for a URL. If I put a URL in that box and click the "search" button, I get sent to lens.google.com . It appears to be doing OCR on the image I provided, and searching for products or articles related to what it thinks the words in the image are.

There is a button "Find image source" above the copy of the image I provided. Clicking that button takes me to the reverse image search results that I am used to seeing.

I don't have a Google account, so I don't know if this behavior can be turned off in the settings.

It started working again, so it could just be a bug on Google side. Hopefully they are not going to remove this feature for a quick image source search.

Edit: doesn't work again :/

Updated

"Error: undefined" is given when attempting to favorite a post when using TOR. This does not happen outside of TOR.
This began about 1 week ago.
It is possible to upvote posts with TOR. Occasionally, it is possible to favorite a post or two before the error begins to be given again.

Have the same issue. I assume POST requests (except login?) have been mostly disabled for TOR users, which is a shame because I'm sure there are plenty of users who do constructive editing using TOR (myself included) who now aren't able to. That said, if that's something that was done purposefully I'd also understand, since there are enough of people who abuse TOR.

Has anyone else been having a problem opening pictures here from the "post" or "search" options? I keep getting an error message in that red bar on the top of my screen. I haven't been able to test this on a proper computer but my cell won't connect when I click a thumbnail. Strange thing is it will open if I open it from my comment section.

Have you made sure you're in View mode? (Mode dropdown on mobile is near the bottom of post/search pages, between the page numbers and the list of tags.)

By Glory that did it! I must have slipped and hit that when clicking through. As my grandfather use to say "Much Gracias!"

Is it known that the comment search function kind of...doesn't work?

For example, I wanted to search through my comments on animal_crossing related pictures, so I put my name in the 'commenter' field and animal_crossing in the tags field. I only got one single result, for the comment on post #3674149

I knew that couldn't possibly be right, so I re-did the search but instead I searched for beau_(animal_crossing) ...and I got 27 results, pretty much any comment I left on a Beau picture. As Beau is an Animal Crossing character, all of those images also have the animal_crossing tag on them, but 26 of them didn't show up in my first search.

Had similar results with ankha_(animal_crossing) and ankha zone, but in reverse. This time searching the character tag gave me 0 results, but the media tag gave me the full results, most of which would be tagged with Ankha.

I don't know if this is a bug with the site or I'm being stupid or something else but I am unable to blacklist any sort of tag I keep on getting these messages "Failed to update blacklist" and "Email has already been taken" if this is just me being stupid I would like to know if it's a bug please fix it.

It only searches through comments of the first 300 matching posts. Treat it as broken.

Send yourself a password reset and delete the other 3 accounts with the same email you created.

Probably more of an oversight than a bug, but it's really strange that posting blips doesn't take you back to the blip page.

It's a bit strange how the Request implication page (linked at the top of all forum pages) has a link to "Alias Listing" in its top bar, but not to a list of implications. Meanwhile, the Request alias page has a link to "Implication Listing" in the same place, but no list of aliases. Surely this should be the other way round?

The first option on the submenu, just simply "Listing", is the one that you're looking for. Alias/Implication Listing were just recent additions that make it easier to switch between the two different tag relations pages faster.

The tag implication symbol in the "preview final tags" view of the upload UI is backwards (possibly elsewhere).

Example, from a recent upload:
"muscular_male ⇐ muscular"

(fairly informal) Evidence this is wrong:
(A ⇐ B) ⇔ "every B is also A"
"muscular_gynomorph" is is "muscular" but is not "muscular_male," so this fails.
Conversely,
(A ⇒ B) ⇔ "every A is also B"
Every "muscular_male" is "muscular," so ⇒ is what you want.

A possible source of confusion is that the most common implication-style digraph in CS is the dependency graph, which is usually represented with the arrow from the consequent to its antecedent, for computational convenience, as the most pressing algorithmic question is often "what other nodes do this one depend on?"

Fix: s/⇐/⇒/

I don't have 3 other accounts and if I did I would know cause I write down my passwords to every account I have so either this is a bug or some how my account was snatched or copied.

If you're so sure, why not send yourself a password reset anyway to prove it?

I had just done that and I am still getting the same fucking "Failed to blacklist" and "Email is already taken" messages.

I'm trying but it's a little stressful to make a new password for those accounts and get a message saying that the username/password is incorrect and I get locked out so I will try to delete the others.

I have done it finally I have my account to myself again 😁 I still don't know how I had three other accounts tied to my email but I have fixed it.

Updated

No images are displaying at all, I've closed all my tabs. Reset my device. Signed in and out and I still haven't gotten the images to reappear. When I click on them they don't react I am met with the normal hexagonal background.

Google Images reverse image search broken? It seems broken for at least a week, now.
Also, I tend to have better results with images.Yandex.com, but that's more of a feature request. ;)

:edit: Found a fix!
https://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/167766/reverse-google-image-search-via-url-after-2022-switch-to-google-lens
Adding 'client=app' query parameter after a separator fixes it, apparently. They probably will be depreciating the old domain, though...

Example: https://www.google.com/searchbyimage?client=app&image_url=https://static1.e621.net/data/preview/86/11/8611ba0d691af3a6048dab0b6ae6d6bd.jpg
Note how I swapped the order of the URL parameters in order to the image URL still be the right-most parameter.

:edit:

This works, too, in case they break it again?
