I belive e621 is now broken somewhat, the screen is all white and the format of the page has change.

The solution to your problem is above my comment on page 28

Not a major bug report, but I think being able to generate multiple API calls in a fraction of a second via ordinary(?) browser interaction is probably not desirable.

Explanation: My mouse button 'bounces' (this is a technical term related to behaviour of microswitches, registering multiple 'presses' when there was only one from a user perspective). This can mean for example that an upvote is queued and then an un-upvote, within about 0.2 of a second. (because both of those actions are performed by clicking on the same element).

It is also possible to generate such events programmatically (with an automation tool like xdotool). But actually doing things at that speed seems to be unreliable whether done by user or automation, so it would be nice if elements like fav or upvote would be unresponsive for 0.250 sec or so after a click.

(I've been asked to confirm I am not a robot a bit recently, and also wonder if that's related to click speed)

Images won't load for me, except for peoples' avatars. I go to the e621.net/posts page, or try to do any search, and I just get those three spinning dots indefinitely. Not sure what's going on, but the site has been giving me issues all day. Earlier I couldn't even load anything, I just kept getting stuck on a "checking if the site connection is secure" page for ages. Luckily that's stopped for the moment, but it's not much good if I can't browse anything.

I would've chalked it up to a site-wide issue, like an outage with one of the servers or something. Except, after talking to folks on Discord, I've realized it's not happening to everyone, just to some of us. Can anyone explain this?

It happened to mine too, but I cleared my history and logged back into my account to refresh it and now it works just fine.

On my Samsung tablet, I can no longer view posts at all after the website changed something on the 21st of January! I go to the search bar, type in, let's say, flower for example, it loads, then, nothing. It will display the add at the top like it arived normally, but no posts can be found. Even if I tap the area they used to be, nothing happens. Also, for some reason, buttons and the search bar ever so slightly clip into the adds now, and all account images on everyone here says placeholder image. Please help?

Admins editing their own blacklist probably shouldn't show up in the "user blacklist changed" mod logs?

Same goes for user text change too. And probably more.

wat8548 said:

If it's done through the normal settings page, it wouldn't show up there.
If it's done through the admin blacklist editing tool, it will.

I don't really think that it's a big deal.

After login in to acount i dont see site on mobile version, cent change it in seting im using opera, reinstaling opere didnt work. But befor login mobile version work. So im stuck on computer vision which is anoyng to use on phone :/

Whenever I try to login on Desktop it will not allow me to do so and says incorrect user and password no matter what. Have attempted to reset the password and it will login perfectly fine on Mobile but the same user and pass combo will not login to the Desktop site.

I don't know if this was intentional or not, but for the past few days I haven't been able to zoom how I usually do on Mobile. I am usually able to double tap on the screen and pull down while holding the second tap to zoom in or out, as an alternative way of the normal pinching. I checked all other apps, and even other web pages on the same browser app I'm using (Brave), including e6ai, and they can all zoom how I normally do. Is this a bug, or an intentional feature of the website?

topic #37091

I visited the profile of artist Sean Blackthorne and found out he has sadly passed away (F). But his status is still listed as active and it doesn't seem to be possible for regular users to edit that category anymore. Is this a bug or intentional?

It's a little confusing but the status actually refers to the artist page itself and not the artist. The two values for it are "Active" and "Deleted", if the page has been soft deleted.

This isn't anything new (I think it's been like this for probably over a year), but the upvote button on posts is very unreliable. Sometimes it works the first time if I'm lucky, but if I'm unlucky, I may need to click it 10+ times before it works. Whether it's successful or unsuccessful, it still gives the "updating posts (1 pending)" and "posts updated" messages. Since I don't see others complaining about this, I'm guessing it might be related to me having a comically large number of liked posts, which is why I've been hesitant to mention this. If my theory is right, it's sorta my fault.

EDIT: It seems to be working pretty reliably now... at least for now.

Very unusual bug. (Samsung Internet Browser)

When I preview a blip I have written that has a thumbnail link for an image I have blacklisted, long pressing the image crashes the browser.

Can confirm, happens in most places that have the blacklisted icon preview.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: width and height must be > 0

The offending lines are here and changing those values to any positive number obviously results in it no longer crashing the browser. But this isn't really a good solution because you don't want to see 1 pixel of the blacklisted image in the corner.

Updated

This is very obviously a browser bug, websites should not be able to crash it. But I can take a look at what's going on, maybe some attributes are not set correctly or are empty.

Edit: As faucet has helpfully found out it's presumably because of CSS for blacklisting . Samsung can fix this in their browser, I don't want to change how it works for this.

Updated

Anyone else finding the site extremely slow for the last hour?

Edit: On second look, it appears to be my own internet misbehaving. Never mmind.

Odd. When I try to remove it and click Preview Final Tags, it lists it being added by nap_zack: nap_zack ⇐ visual_novel. But nap_zack's wiki page only lists the implication to tail_tale (which itself only implicates yaminabe_aries, which implicates nothing more).

There seems to be a deleted implication for yamanabe_aries -> visual_novel , maybe the implication didn't go through properly?
Maybe re-impliying it and unimplying again fixes the issue?

A random post got fav. When I search for my Favs it is there, when I go to the post it shows the green button to Add to favorites, as it if was not faved. If I click it shows an error saying "Error: You have already favorited this post" I cannot remove it from my favorites. I did not favorite it.

Okay this is the second time this has happened this week. E621 images are really, really, really slow to load and download. It's not my internet because other sites are loading fine. E621 itself is loading fine (ie, the forum opened up quick with no issue), it's just the images. Image THUMBNAILS load fine, but the images themselves are snail's pace.

Images are loading fine for me. No issues here.

Having similar issues, except even the thumbnails take some time to load on occasion. My internet connection is fine.

I think that's right place. Upon entering e926, as far as I know sfw version of e621 that is kind of connected, you still get warning message about being 18+ which is kinda counterintuitive if the whole reason of e926 is NOT being 18+. That's all. Cheers.

e926 is also an 18+ website.

It seems that if a forum post has multiple BURs, voting on one prevents you from voting on another until you reload the page

It lasted for a couple of hours but then resolved, and was fixed by the time you posted. But, again, this is the second time it's happened, and it seemed to then happen again to Louiz after I had gone to sleep.

Currently I encounter slow images as well, it takes either awfully long till they load or they don't load at all

Yes, speak of the devil, it just started happening now as soon as I made that above post.

I am too encounting slow website loading and downloads. Noted it yesterday. I was browsing, got about 12 pages in, and the whole page loads fine, but images are not loading at all, basically came to a standstill. I just blindly downloaded an image from one of the posts that are not loading. It took almost 9 minutes to get a 700k file.

And amidst typing this, they came back to loading normally.

Hey, admins. can you please delete this picture? i accidently put it in low quality on site. https://e621.net/posts/3867374?q=bandit_heeler

Since you already posted the correct version, you could have done this yourself. I did it for you, but for future reference, the button you are looking for is "Flag". Attempts to get posts deleted by other means will usually be ignored.

Happening here too on IOS, I’ve never had a similar issue with this site before

Same thing for me, slow loading and all... But on my PC. From a phone, things work out fine strangely enough.

Idk if this is a bug or it's because I'm on a old device but whenever I try to view a webm it always shows a green screen

yeah i'm also encountering extremely slow download speeds. the rate seems to be around 20mb/minute, which is atrocious. i assume it has to do with the recent server migration.

same , im back on dialup!

Just been randomly browsing through pages when I came across this: https://e621.net/bans

Some of the negative records appear to be in green/positive colour. However, they appear to be false positives.
When viewing the records directly from the banned user's profile, it shows the usual red/negative colour.

Looks to be a feature. All of the green entries are temporary bans that have since expired. They all also have the HTML data attribute data-expired="true" which the CSS targets to turn it green.

Don't worry, I had the same confusion last time I looked at those pages and only just figured it out tonight.

Ah I see, thanks for the info.

Tags with a count of a million or above incorrectly display as "1000k" or similar - check any image with male and you can see it.

IIRC, that's deliberate. It used to display as "1m" initially with the site revamp, but it lost a significant amount of precision (1,000,000 and 1,999,999 would both display as 1m, despite a 999k difference), so it caps at 'k' and just keeps using more digits.

Ah, odd, but thanks. I feel like it would just make more sense to do like 1.9m though, lol.

I'm having a hard time with my blacklist because i have about ten tags on my blacklist that still show up regardless of my blacklist. i have scat blacklisted, yet posts with scat in them still show up constantly

[Bug]
So I'm getting a dark green screen whenever I try to watch any WEBMs, be it a sample, fit for horizontal/vertical or the original thing, most I can do is listen.
Weird thing is, doesn't happen with GIFs and just to test if it was simply my phone was getting past it's due I tested it on Microsoft Edge which was installed, and strangely it worked fine there..
Confused.

Voting in cases where multiple polls are available (topic #37340) seems to incorrectly hide voting buttons for multiple polls. I had to refresh the page to vote on the first poll, after voting on the second.

I have a very annoying issue, I have this one animation that is stuck in my favorites yet it can't be unfavorited and I don't want it to be in my favorites. the button shows that I'm not favoriting it on the specific post, and its annoying to a degree, the animation in question is this : https://e621.net/posts/2523003?q=fav%3Ajeromy384 anyway to fix that?

This issue pops up occasionally, there's instructions how to fix it here: forum #316652. For step 1 you'll need id:2523003 instead.

Wiki page changes from before the site update don't display correctly in search results, despite displaying correctly in individual page history. Compare the following links:

https://e621.net/wiki_pages?commit=Search&search%5Bbody_matches%5D=fuze

https://e621.net/wiki_page_versions?search%5Bwiki_page_id%5D=29241

Looks like that information wasn't saved in the proper place before then. Maybe I could backfill based on the history? Ancient wiki pages don't have the updater saved even there. The inconsistencies in the data won't make this any easier which is probably why no one has done this yet.

Searching for order:score always ends with this :

The database timed out running your query.

Log ID: 8d103e41-0d11-420f-87cd-f031241c5e1b

i was attempting to sort images by score with order:score, but "The database timed out running [my] query" the log ID is: 2a783b50-80c9-4ba0-8cdb-961e63d402de using order:score_asc works fine.

I'm aware of the search timeouts. Looking into stuff that might remedy this, but no promise on when. Recently I have been preparing for a db upgrade, which will hopefully help with this once it happens.

Ironically, I just got "The database timed out running your query" when attempting to open this very thread, so it's not just a search problem.

I didn't get a database error, but the forums have been inaccessible for half hour intervals on occasion; Usually at times when the main e621 servers are mostly or entirely unresponsive. I thought the forum was on a separate server. Is that not the case any more?
