The scheduled site maintenance has been completed, and e621 is up and running better than ever. However, we are also aware that e926.net is currently throwing a lot of errors as a result of the scheduled maintenance. These are being looked into and will be corrected asap. Thank you for your patience!

We’re going to be deploying major updates to the site that should greatly improve performance starting at 11PM Arizona time (GMT-7). This should take between an hour and an hour and a half.

March 31: Big update tonight! (No, this is not an April Fool's Day joke). Highlights include a fix for the 'duplicate or inferior' flag reason, and a way to lock your theme so it never changes with new seasons. Check here for all the changes.

March 22: A new flag reason is now available: "This image has been deleted before". Also, remember to choose the most accurate reason for deletion. For example, if you upload a repost, please choose "This post is a duplicate", not "I uploaded the file by mistake".

The uploading issue should be fixed now. Thank you for your patience.

New FFD option: Previously deleted

Also, please choose the most fitting FFD option starting from the top, if you upload something and pick "Uploader requests deletion" over "inferior version" when you realize it's a repost is bad, mmkay.

Two current, and new, bugs:

If you're trying to FFD something as inferior and it displays an error message: set the parent post manually before you attempt to flag it.
If you're using the Dolphin Browser and you can't see shit: disable "Dolphin Jetpack" in the settings.

Thank you for your understanding while we try to fix this.

Dear users, do you ever wish e621 would automatically resize those GIANT posts to fit your browser window? Just head into your account settings and enable the "Resize Images" option! (the "Show Image Samples" option must be disabled for this to work)

To anyone who likes to tag things, apparently we have a bug that nukes tags if you are tagging something the same time as someone else, so check your history periodically to make sure you aren't removing valid tags.
Also: if you have an image open for awhile before you got around to editing the tags, please refresh the image first before editing the tags. That way it won't nuke any tags which were added since you loaded the page.

What's that I smell? A new update? Check out the details here!

In addition, you can now change what title post pages have (the text in your browser's tabs) in your settings if you have an account. If you liked the old "all tags" instead of the new "artist tag only" style, you can change it back!
