The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012

I think I should start by saying I use the Internet Explorer on my Xbox 360 to come here. I don’t know if that matters, but just in case.
 
Sometimes, when I go to a different page before all the images load, the images from every page I go to after that stop coming up. Thumbnails and the actual images just stop loading or something. It fixes itself if I go to another site for a few minutes and come back, or if I exit IE and come back.
 
It hasn’t happened in a while, so I don’t know if you guys already fixed it or not.

“Spamming” shitposts with gifs is an ages old PB tradition that is not going to change. Stop uploading shitposts and the problem will go away on its own.

There was a fix specific to IE made about two weeks back that may have solved that. That said, if it didn’t, you may be out of luck. The chances of us testing for the 360’s flavor of IE are extremely low, given you not only need the console but also pay for the privilege of being online.

Literally never going to happen for all of those reasons. We support IE on the desktops from version 9 and up officially, and make best-effort support for 7/8, 6 being totally unsupported (though it should still by and large work). That’s bad enough. The site isn’t exactly designed for perfect cross-browser compatibility but we can’t fix that overnight…

I would greatly appreciate it if image file names contained all the correct image tags so I did not have to add the tags myself almost every single time I save an image.
 
Artist tags should be color coded. Maybe other important tags should be color coded too for quicker identification.
 
A “show everything” checkbox to override all your hidden tags for when you need to search for something that may be hidden by your settings.
 
Automatically add the “absurd res” tag if an image is over, say, 4,000 pixels in width or height or whatever size you think qualifies as “absurd res.”
 
I don’t know if it’s a bug but I’ve noticed a lot of image names contain a string or strings of numbers and letters starting with 5 like “51ad7bcca4c72dd06d0005df” and all image names contain “UNOPT” with two underscores on both sides after the image number on the site. What’s that about?

The seemingly random letters etc are actually not random at all, they’re tag identifiers - the real ones we use under the hood. We used to just use a tag’s name (with some normalization) but this failed when we entered the realm of UTF-8 tags, so we switched. New tags have new ID formats. But we never changed the code for filename generation to use the name rather than pre-sanitized ID; this needs fixing. The UNOPT should be removed when the file has been optimized, but isn’t due to a bug at present.
 
As for tags - we can only add so many. Filenames have a maximum length, at the end of the day! We typically add least-used-first in this sort of situation - any views on this? As requested by many we’re trying to implement a /image_id_number.png/jpg/gif short filename, too, so now’s the time to sort all this.
 
We can absolutely colour code tag namespaces like artist: - we’ve got half the code for this in already, so it should be a breeze.

I usually save images from Derpibooru by drag-and-dropping them from the “View” button to my computer folder. The filename automatically contains the image number and the tags, something like this: 337203__safe_rainbow-dash_solo_image-macro_caption_.png  
I can easily find the image again on Derpibooru by the 337203 number, or search my folder for particular tags, because they are all in the filename.
 
I noticed that this has changed with the introduction of the new View and VS buttons, though. VS button works good if you want to save an image with just the Derpibooru ID in it, without tags. The normal View button, however, seems to be slightly broken.  
If you go to (example) this >>340702 image and want to save it by drag-and-dropping from the View button, it will get saved under this filename: 340848__safe_meme_image+macro_cheerilee_pun_cheerilee+pun_bathroom_pterodactyl.png  
As you can see, neither the ID nor the tags are correct.

That is most odd - we’ll figure that out and get it fixed.

Notoriously Divine Tagger - Consistently uploads images above and beyond the minimum tag requirements. And/or additionally, bringing over the original description from the source if the image has one. Does NOT apply to the uploader adding several to a dozen tags after originally uploading with minimum to bare tagging.

I miss the show so much
A “reload comments” button. Does exactly what it says: reloads the image comments, but nothing else. The comments area is aleady loaded by ajax (I guess), so I don’t think this would be a hard thing to implement. Would be very useful especially when the site is slow, because the comments don’t always load and the only way to see them is to reload the entire page. This downloads the image again, straining the servers even more.

Change the AND, OR, and NOT search operators to &&, ||, and !! respectively, so a combination of tags can be watched.
 
I would rather add these operators which have the same meaning as the already existing AND, OR, NOT instead of changing them. People have bookmarks etc on searches, they will break otherwise.
 
And I said this in some other thread a while ago as well, but an option in the Settings page to just display timestamps instead of “about 24 hours ago” is something I’d like to have. Upon pageload - before the javascript kicks in - it actually already does this.

The “spoiler:equestria girls” image uses the wrong font, and it’s driving mr crazy.

Make it so spoilered text can be uncovered by clicking on it, so it can be read on mobile devices.

Mouseover any “20 minutes ago” text and you can see the timestamp…

We’ll sort something out for mobile devices.

We already have that!
 
  1. If you want to see images favourited by bradzz, input “faved_by:bradzz” in the search box (case sensitive): Link
     
  2. If you want to see images uploaded by bradzz, input “uploader:bradzz” in the search box: Link
     
    You can sort them by score, date etc. by the usual controls on the bottom of the search results, or add other tags like “faved_by:bradzz, explicit” or “uploader:bradzz, Cloud Chaser”.

When you search for a non-existant tag (eg ‘bla’ (if that actually is a tag, just faceroll something else)), it shows a message “Remember, we won’t show you anything tagged with stuff you’ve got hidden!” followed by a list of tags that are hidden.
 
I’m not sure what the sorting order used is, but it’s not alphabetically, and also not on number of images tagged with those. On the Settings page itself it’s in alphabetical order though.

Ease the image search for very specific requests.
 
Long time ago I could set a combination of tags and then search for all the images that had ’em, what happened to that? Am I doing something wrong?

@dt  
Your mom. Wildcard, please. It makes searching for artist tags easier.
 
Yeah, I second this. Actually, search DOES state that “ t*ixie would find both trixie and twixie tagged images “ but that does not work. :-(
