Hello, I recently made a topic discussing some art I was planning to upload.

This is my first time uploading, and I uploaded both pics (an original and a slightly edited one) which are now awaiting approval, but I'm not quite sure how parenting works.

I can't find anything in the howto sections on the matter. I know for a fact the original should be listed as the parent of the edited piece, but I'm not sure what to do.

just copy the id number of the parent post to the parent post field of the other. you can find the id number from statistics

Thank you, done and done.

In the url of a post like this one https://e621.net/post/show/316778 there will be a number after /show/, in this case it's 316778. Go to "edit" on a child post and put that number in the "parent post ID" box.

Note that the urls you have might be slightly different since by default they have tags added to the end (I have that turned off in settings).

That's about it really.

Well, you do your best to raise them until they're an adult, and then they repeat the cycle themselves.

Just kidding. Muti and Psprite already posted the answer.

Should we teach him about pools too?
