Topic: General bug report thread - bugs here, bugs there, bugs everywhere, come here and report your bugs

Posted under Site Bug Reports & Feature Requests

On the comments page, the outline around the main picture also appears on the avatar of every commenter. E.g. if the post is pending, everyone's avatar will have a blue outline.

I miss being able to see who all favorited an image. I thought it was fun to see what other people liked, not to mention that sometimes I could find other images I like that I might have missed otherwise. Of course, I miss the home page and general layout of the older version. And really just about anything else that will be mentioned by everyone on this thread.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Wiki Bugs:

  • Colored text doesn't seem to be working anymore and the end of the color tag puts the rest of the message onto a new line. Example
  • Using same example, try editing and previewing DText, and the alignment of listed items breaks for items with color tags.
  • Sections end when there is a new line separation instead of at [/section]. Example
  • Adding a [/section] to a forum post moves its position to a new line even though it shouldn't be functional without the starting section bracket. Previous site functionality didn't change the position of any code formatting.
  • The view version link for wiki histories doesn't show previous versions of the Wiki page.
  • Links with curved brackets don't include the last bracket. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Little_Pony_(2003_toyline)

when i go to my profile and view my comments i have posted, i can't see how many upvoted or downvotes it has, could you guys add that feature again?

Right now, it is way to easy to accidentally change the avatar (used to require a confirmation before, now it changes it instantly)

This has been added to the pile of things that need to be fixed, thank you.

When trying to flag something when you dont have flag credit, you get the following error:

{"errors":{"creator":["has reached the hourly limit for this action"]}}

JSON is strangely formatted in my opinion.

Also, I have 9 flags in last hour, when trying to flag something it doesn't give any error (gives error on api). Simply, nothing happens.
There should be an error, but error should be after using 10 credit, not 9.

And also, most of my flags are gone (I had hundreds) and even of those 30ish i have now, only some are visible.

Thanks!

Oh and another one: i've seen in https://e621.net/forum_topics/25803 that the favorite sorting thing has been fixed, but it looks like Sets are also facing the issue with sorting by upload date by default (like favorites, it used to be sorted by time of addition)

Logging in doesn't redirect you back to the page you were at before attempting to log in. If it did this before, which now I'm not sure of. Either way, clicking "Login to reply" at the bottom of a forum post should redirect you back to that same page after logging in.

Perhaps intentional, but as a normal user I can no longer edit Artist entry names. (e.g. I want to romanize this artist's name but must create a new Artist entry to do so.)

EDIT: More importantly, I can't edit that artist page at all because of the new ASCII-only rule for tags.

I really hope they reconsider the ASCII-only restriction for tags, at least artist names. Using a romanized artist name is not always possible with new or unaliased artist names, and even if non-romanized names are all eventually aliased to romanized ones, having new posts for a such an artist be none or unknown_artist because of this restriction will make it near impossible to properly fix.

The artist pages in particular would be the last avenue someone could have for searching an artist to see if there is a romanized name they should use instead. Not allowing it even there is just ensuring the problem is as bad as it can be.

The text for viewing deleted images should read "You cannot view this image.", not "You can not view this image."

Uploads from inkbunny aren't working.
It loads the image for a second then shows the broken image icon, and when you press upload it gives the error "error: ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid - Validation failed: File ext is invalid (only JPEG, PNG, GIF, SWF, and WebM files are allowed, File size is too large. Maximum allowed for this file type is 0 MiB"

Strange, I haven't had any issues with anything from Inkbunny. What's your browser?

  • Clicking column headers on various index pages (user list, tag index, etc.) should sort the list by that column (and reversing if already sorting by that order, of course).
  • There is no way to sort the user list by user level.
  • If the "Posted by" information won't be returned to the post show page, then at least a way to verify that the post was uploaded by you would be extremely useful.
  • There is no way to view only unread (or only read, for that matter) dmails.
  • In fact, unread dmails should be much more prominent in the list - perhaps a green background instead of just bolded text, which is practically indistinguishable from read dmails.
  • Old user_record URLs don't properly redirect if they include /index - for example, https://e621.net/user_record/index?user_id=2083. I don't know if any other pages are affected by the same bug, but the few I tried (/post/index, /tag/index) worked fine.
Previously-reported bugs
  • The text for viewing deleted images should read "You cannot view this image.", not "You can not view this image."
  • Logging in doesn't redirect you back to the page you were at before attempting to log in. If it did this before, which now I'm not sure of. Either way, clicking "Login to reply" at the bottom of a forum post should redirect you back to that same page after logging in.
  • The "Drawn by" prefix on post page titles makes it extremely difficult to tell tabs apart from each other when they're not full-size (e.g. you have more than a handful open). Example
  • When posting a reply to a forum thread, you're redirected to the top of the current page instead of being scrolled down to your newly created post (and it doesn't highlight it, either)
  • Usernames in quotes are forced lowercase
  • When saving advanced settings in your profile, you're redirected back to the basic settings page

I can’t seem to remove any VERY old images from my favorites. If I go to the last page of my favorites (by id), none of the images there seem to get removed, even after several attempts.

Ex:
This image:
https://e621.net/posts/17
is the last one in my favorites list and refuses to leave it.

calixto said:
the tag "date:X_days_ago", used to show posts that ranged from the most recent post to the posts that were X days old, and now it only shows posts that are exactly X days old (same with date:X_weeks_ago)
but the tag syntax page didn't make any changes about that info https://e621.net/help/cheatsheet

Weirdly, this seems to apply to all date syntaxes now except for "date:day/week/month/year" (decade still seems broken, hah).

The tag "barbed_penis" does not appear in the search bar/autofill or on any post's taglist, though searching it brings up posts that definitely have the tag.

And "dogmom" as well. "dog_mom" does work however, but is a different tag.

EDIT:
Ah, I should mention, it doesn't seem to have been put into any other tag (like "horsecock" and "equine_penis")
unless I'm blind

just run: document.querySelector('#image').dataset.uploader

Not sure if this is already posted, but a search didn't find it, so:

A/D works to navigate pools, but left/right arrow does not.
Left/right is NOT universally disabled, though, for example it works to move through forum thread pages.

[Firefox 37, Arch Linux x86_64. Addons list on request, only possibly-relevant one I see is Imagus since it also wants to do shortcuts related to images -- but these only apply when its popup is active.]

I have humanoid -user:kemonophonic on one line in my blacklist so I only see humanoid images that I uploaded.

If I try to use a humanoid image that I uploaded as an avatar the blacklist hides it instead of showing it.

So your blacklist only hits it when it's an avatar?
I've tried it on a normal search and it doesn't seem to hit posts in humanoid user:kemonophonic

EDIT: My avatar is currently set to an item in that search and it's not getting hit by the blacklist. So this is at least not a universal bug.

EDIT2: WHOA. hey. It's SPECIFICALLY YOUR AVATAR. That rule is matching your avatar and hiding your messages. But not my avatar. uh.. this seems like some glitchiness with how user: is processed.

Updated

Blacklist is still not working on Chrome. All my blacklists prior to the update work, BUT I can't add or remove any blacklist items from the list. Example: Anal is not on my list, but when I add anal ( on it's own line ) and I hit submit, it's not added to my blacklist. If I try to remove something from my blacklist and hit submit, the item is not removed.

kemonophonic said:
When humanoid -user:kemonophonic is used in my blacklist it's supposed to only hide humanoid images that I didn't upload (which it does). I can see my humanoid uploads elsewhere on the site just fine but if I try to use one as an avatar it hides it.

Yes, as I said in my second edit, the rule seems to match specifically YOUR avatar (and not, say, mine, which is currently set to a relevant image).. Or maybe it's just matching you (the user) not you (the uploader) -- if you understand the distinction I'm making there. That last theory is probably good, since otherwise it WOULD be doing something to my current avatar.

.. I guess the next question would be, what happens if you change your avatar to something that is uploaded by you but not humanoid?

.. actually I'm not sure whether negative user metatag blacklisting is implemented, when I think about it. So that might just be being treated as humanoid user:kemonophonic. I think we can be sure that it is recognizing that some user-based processing should happen. Maybe it is working correctly for posts but wrongly for "user blocks" (for the lack of a better term: 'X user posted Y' and an avatar.)

Updated

If you are the first person to view a post since the site redesign, and that post had notes prior to the redesign, all of the notes get shoved into the top-left corner of the image at the exact same size. This behavior does not persist after a refresh.

My "Human and Nonhuman" pool should have several examples of this.

Blacklisted results are not being condensed into individual pages anymore. See this image (search is rating:safe score:>10):

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/580031920092610572/685271044696834099/unknown.png

This is supposed to put all the images that match the criteria into as few pages as possible. Here, there's three images on the first page, two images on the second page, three images on the third page -- before the changes, if I did this search, it would just show as many results as could fit on the first page.

It looks like blacklisted images are taking up space on the page and just aren't shown. If I exclude blacklisted results by searching for (rating:safe score:>10 -female)

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/580031920092610572/685271649108754454/unknown.png

The list is slightly more condensed because it isn't listing the invisible posts tagged as 'female'... it seems that I would need to put my entire blacklist of tags in every search if I wanted the old way that it worked. Is there a fix or different way to do searches now?

I also started having this problem recently after I attempted to update my blacklist. It had been working correctly until then. A friend of mine hasn't updated his blacklist at all since the site UI update, and his results are still condensing like they used to.

This won't work because incompatible set of features not available on all browsers, and no fallback version. And yes, User Agent string checking to present the incompatible version only to said browsers is an ugly hack. XD

It appears that this is due to your email field being empty, when trying to edit your blacklist I get an error that your email is "wrong".
Try adding an email and it should fix this.

Not sure how that happened. You need to use an email to sign up here. Anyways, thank you! That fixed it.

Since there are now images you can only view if logged in, I feel the site should do a better job keeping users logged in. In my experience, it logs me out about every other day, even though I have "remember me" checked. I consider this a bug.

If the tagging system were perfect, I'd have no problem with an automatic blacklist being enforced on certain contentious tags, but there's a very good reason I refuse to use my blacklist and instead just ignore images that don't do anything for me.

Another thing I consider to be a bug is that when not logged in, there is an option that from its description seems to disable the blacklist, and that option does nothing, as the blocked images are still blocked. Further, removing items from said blacklist has no effect.

TL;DR

  • Site doesn't keep users logged in for longer than a session
  • Anonymous Blacklist disable doesn't actually work
  • Nothing happens when items are removed from anonymous Blacklist

Oh hey, AB issues were fixed. Nice! Good thing I tested before posting

Another thing that's confusing me is the page titles for posts. Sometimes it's the detailed format (characters (copyright) drawn by artists), and other times it only shows the post id. I looked in the settings page and didn't find anything related to a title format. Is this a bug? I like being able to see the artist name in the page title, so this is hurting usability with the tab saving browser extension I use

When you were viewing the post, the rating safe, questionable, explicit, were in the colors green, yellow, red respectively. That went away, and now it is all white.

Also I cannot be logged in on more than one device at a time. When I sign in onto the computer, I am logged out on my phone, and vise versa.

how about this custom-css:
#image-container::after {content : attr(data-uploader);}

  • 'search for myself in comments' also reliably triggers an 'unexpected error'
  • Voting (eg. on alias suggestions) seems to be visually a bit glitchy, I clicked multiple times and the display didn't update until I reloaded the page.

Thanks for posting with platform details, it really helps. Even if you're not able to go into great detail, it can often make the difference between a bug that can be sensibly triaged and one that is functionally 'the software doesn't work, halp'

So far this experience seems to relate to disabled or inadequate Javascript. Sites like ActivateJavascript will tell you whether your JS is enabled (and the particular link I give here might be helpful for Android users in enabling it if it is not already enabled)

When I search any tag, instead of actual posts showing up it just says the word "posts" with no images

We need a sticky about this, cause we have had a lot of reports like this. So far this seems to indicate your JS is disabled, broken, or inadequate.
http://activatejavascript.org/en/instructions is not a definitive test but may be a good start. It tells you whether JS seems to be working in your browser and how to enable it if it is not.

It's enabled, but it might be outdated. Im using safari on a iPhone 4 so unless I can force update it I might just be locked out I posts

I just straight up can't edit some older posts.
I'm getting the error:

Uploader must exist; User status must exist

Log ID: (none)

any time I try to edit this post. looking at the tag history it does indeed somehow not have an user associated with the upload or the first few tag edits.

Hello, I found out that for some reason The "longest Description first" (order:desclength) seems to not work for me. Is this the case for anybody else? Is it something else?

sometimes when i vote a post up or down, it doesn't work, i have to click 2 times or even 3 to work
it happens very often.

The old login URL (/user/login) redirects to /sessions/new, which doesn't exist; it should redirect to /session/new.

bipface said:
That's all well and good, but you still would need to read the entire result set first to know what the 'values' are. I'm sure that is what the current implementation is intentionally avoiding.

How do you figure?

alphamule said:
How do you figure?

even with an PRNG which outputs non-repeating values, you still need some way of mapping these to actual posts among the search results.
if you used it as a seed for the current get_random_posts algorithm, it would still lead to duplicates, so it offers little advantage compared to using a simple PRNG.

get_random_posts

is optimised with the assumption that all it needs to do is grab one page worth of posts.
in general, to have a randomly-ordered sequence in which you can go directly to any page, the DB has to read all the results which precede that page; that's simply the nature of random ordering, there's no way around it.

whether the random seed is persisted anywhere, and whether the RNG produces duplicates or not, are only a very small part of the solution for random-order pagination.

I'm new to this site and I'm having problem with it.

I can't see the images on the posts along with the profile picture. All I see is the tags, randoms and the pages number. Firefox and Microsoft Edge works alright, but not the Internet Explorer, which I use all the time. I couldn't find anything to fix it after the update.
