Topic: Some issues with the notes system

Posted under e621 Tools and Applications

Recently I started to place all the notes that I can in a couple of images, but for some reason everytime I refresh the page the notes are all stacked somewhere in the image, always far from where I leave them and with the basic size. Why is this happening?

these are the images:

I remember that every time I want to create a note I have to temporary unblock scripts from dragonfru.it in noscript or similar thing happens. Maybe you're also blocking those scripts.

Looks like the one with all the Pukaymunz were at default size, and they just weren't save by the person who wanted to place them. You actually have to edit and then save to save the size/position of a note so it could be why a bunch of them were in the corner

Thanks for give me a hand with pokemon image.

Yeah, you have to make sure you've pushed the save button (again if necessary) after it is moved to the right position and size. Otherwise it will 'remember' the place and size the note was when you last saved it and default to that when you refresh the page. And it's really easy for someone to create the note, make sure it says all the correct information, save it, then move and resize it, and then wonder why it didn't stay there when they refresh the page. It's because "save" saves the position and size at that moment, and not just the text. So that would be my guess of what may be happening.

Yes that was the problem, now that the issue is fixed and the note use well explained i guess this topic can be closed, can you make the honours?.

I could, but I see no harm in leaving it open in case another user has questions on the topic. Generally we don't lock threads unless it's necessary (because of drama, excessive spamming, illegal content, etc.)

That's because, if someone else has questions about notes in the next month or so, it's more concise if they add it onto a thread like this instead of creating a new one for each new question that comes up. As long as the thread isn't too old (lets say 3 months or older as a rough guideline. The older it is, the more business relevant and important bumping it would have to be. So bumping a 6 month old thread because it was an alias suggestion that got created manually and was agreed on but lost before it was finished would be ok to do. But bumping a 6 month old thread just to say "I agree with this guy" would be a no-no.)

Anyways, as long as the thread isn't too old, and that what they're adding is topically related and fairly important, and there wasn't a more recent thread about that topic they could have used instead...then it's usually ok. It's mostly when necros are excessive (a bunch in a row or a really really old thread) or pointless reasons for bumping it or off-topic reasons for bumping it, etc that's when it becomes a problem.

Okay Mate.
