Traffic? Great. I'm late already ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)
Is something wrong? (do servers have cache?)

Aurali or maybe Tony would have to explain the specifics behind it. But basically, I know there's a script that runs at least once a day that updates tag subscriptions, tag counts, and other stats, and that the site is NOT accessible during that time. I presume this is intentional, to prevent any changes in data being made while the script is running. But again, that's completely not my area of the site, so I'd take their answer over mine.

e621 is really slow for me at the moment.
While I'm waiting for the posts to load, my browser displays this status message:
"Waiting for ad.dragonads.com"

So I went to ad.dragonads.com
=> 500 Internal Server Error

Then I went to www.dragonads.com
=> hello world

Updated by anonymous

I have the same kind of problem. I usually whitelist e621 on AdBlock Plus, but for now I'm "forced" to unwhitelist it, until the problem is resolved :c

Updated by anonymous

I don't get the 500 Internal Server Error, but I do get incredible lag when it comes to loading. Most of the time, the page just doesn't load for me at all. Just keeps waiting for that ad.dragonads.com thing that Munkelzahn mentioned. I want my e621. ;.;

Bug: Cant remove original uploaded tags from an image...

Expected Behavior: Should be able to remove them, like if it was tagged by accident, or something.

Actual Behavior: Nothing happens and the tag is still there. D:

Steps To Duplicate: Added "test" tag, then proceded to remove it.. That still works like normal. Also tried it on different posts and got the same problem..

People are also having the same issues in the comments of post #238807 so I know I'm not the only one.

This isn't a bug in this particular instance. The tag "dog" was on that image, and "dog" implies "canine". You can't remove an implied tag from an image without also removing the tag that caused the implication. (See the tag history here: http://e621.net/post_tag_history/index?post_id=238807 ).

If you ever run across this scenario again, it's good practice to search our Implication list page to see if the tag you're trying to remove is implied to something else. In this case, you'll see that "dog" implies "canine": http://e621.net/tag_implication?query=canine&user=&approved=all&order=tag

Speaking of not being able to remove tags, this one does seem to be an actual bug. post #238262 has a certain tag several have attempted to remove to no avail.

Is that tag aliased/implicated to something? Or it's because it uses unicode?
---
lemme try, I have nothing to do right now
Weird, it's a new tag, it isn't aliased nor implicated. Can be fixed reuploading?
---
I could only change the rating (from e to q, since no sexual acts are present) And the tag history shows that there was a japanese name, that could cause the bug

I just looked at your blacklist and you have all of your tags on one line. That means that the site is going to blacklist only images that have ALL of those tags.

A really easy way to think about blacklisting is to think of it like how you would perform a search. So if you search for "cub female fox solo", all of the images that you see are what would end up being blacklisted if you added "cub female fox solo" to your blacklist.

help:blacklist This guide should answer pretty much any blacklist question that you have.

It helps tremendously that we can actually see someone's blacklist when they're complaining about the blacklist not working. :P This is also how we recently discovered the bug that having too many tags in your blacklist will cause your account to become inaccessible.

Man, being able to see all the horrible things that you're not into is wonderful blackmail material.

The tag transparent_background reports zero posts after adding it to post #239812.

Wild guess from a long-term user? I think that count is only updated on a periodic basis, possibly daily.

Updated by anonymous

That's what I'm thinking, but I was sure that tag was used quite a bit before. Unless it's been purged?

Updated by anonymous

It appears if you upload an image which gets rejected for being a duplicate (MD5 match), the tags you specified are applied to the original image. But, if the MD5 matches a post which was deleted as a repost, the tags don't carry to the original that it's a repost of.

Bug:
Wrong colors in tag history.

Expected behavior:
When user adds tag it should be with green plus sign.
When user deletes tag it should be with red minus sign.
When user decision is changed by someone else, there should be black plus or minus sign.

Actual behavior:
It works well for normal tags, but if user changes rating or adds parent post there is always black plus sign, even if nobody changes this afterwards. Minus sign is red as expected though, at least for rating.

Steps to duplicate:
Just change rating of picture, or add parent post, and then look into tag history.

I've noticed several little things with the new Upload page.

1. The News won't Hide for me, even when I click on it or refresh the page. I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, as no one else has mentioned it.

2. The image preview disappears when you navigate away from the upload page and back again. For example, I click on Tags to check on something, then click back to the Upload page.

3. Pressing "Enter" in the Tags field doesn't upload the image. It just puts you onto a new line in the tag field.

1. I don't know how to do something on the site

First off this isn't a bug.

Secondly, you earn priv+, you don't get it just by asking for it. Judging from the fact you only registered sixteen days ago, have four tag edits and zero uploads, I am pretty damn sure you don't qualify.

feature, not a bug, please move to feature thread

Bug:
Problem in synchronizing concurrent tag changes.
Expected behaviour:
If you're changing only tags, and while you're doing this someone have changed source/parent post and submitted changes, then after submitting your changes, source/parent also should stay updated.
Actual behaviour:
Other users changes are deleted. Look at http://e621.net/post_tag_history/index?post_id=241759 I was changing tags after first revision, but in the meantime DragonRanger had changed tags and source, and submitted it before me. I didn't changed source, and after I submitted changes it stayed the way it was when I had opened post. Same was for Fallord addition of parent post.
Steps to duplicate:
Analogous to case described above.

I tried it just now, everything works as intended.
However, I wrote that report then the species tags were implemented but not yet colored.
So the server restart was probably enough to 'fix' it.

this.. this thread has become unruly and unmanageable.. I'm looking at other solutions right now.. but as of now... I can't keep track of anything anymore cause tickets aren't getting closed.. people are posting junk and responding which creates clutter..

Bug: Can't upload from HTTPS links

Expected behavior: You should be able to do so.

Actual behavior: When you upload something, and you put a direct image link in the source, AND the URL is prefixed with HTTPS, then e621 responds with "Error: File not found, try uploading again". However: e621 does display the image preview, so it must be able to download images from HTTPS links.

Steps to duplicate: Upload any image from FA, using the direct image link as the source.

edit:
I know you can just remove the "s" from the "https" prefix and uploading will work. But it's still annoying because I always forget to do that and get an error message.

DText unordered lists behaving weirdly

Bug: unordered lists are acting strangely
Expected behavior: each line with (a/multiple) * at the front gets a bullet point, at the indentation level appropriate to the number of *s.
Actual behavior:: the following raw source (from the post where I noticed the bug):

Search for:
* For safe rating: "tags -rating:s"
Questionable: "tags -rating:q"
Explicit: "tags -rating:e"

See "help:cheatsheet":http://e621.net/help/cheatsheet for more

produces this result

Steps to duplicate: Try to make an unordered list with any number of elements, and include lines that are not part of the list without blank lines as spacers.

Comments: the unordered list expands until it finds an empty line. A line with whitespace is NOT an empty line for this purpose. In regex terms, a line that matches ^\s+$ will spread the list, but a line that matches ^$ will stop the spread.

this line does not have a * at the front

the line above this one has spaces

  • this is the only line has a * at the front


the line above this one has a tab character

the line above this one is completely empty apart from newlines

Edit: browser appears to matter. In Firefox, the lines starting at "* this is the only line that has a * on the front" and continuing to the end of the list are indented a bit farther (but they still have the top-level bullet), which does not happen on Chrome. More details to come later when I'm home and can test properly.

DText link parsing doesn't stop at line breaks

Bug: Comment previews parse links incorrectly.

Expected behavior: When previewing a comment that contains a link followed by a line break, the line break marks the end of the link.

Actual behavior: Previews fail to acknowledge a line break as a URL ending character and continue to build the link until a space character is reached

Steps to duplicate: Type a link then hit enter and type a few words underneath the link, then hit preview. You will notice that your line break doesn't appear in the preview, and you are missing any text up to the first space character following the link. If you click the link it will lead you to your URL + <br> and the missing text. This works for regular links and Dtext links.

Wildcard searches don't play nice with other tag searches, so you're best off using them alone. It's a known problem and will likely never be fixed unless we rewrite the search system from scratch.
