(IMGUR wouldn’t let me upload a higher quality PNG)

One of the biggest disappointments I’ve seen (by more than one artist) is identity abandonment. There’s been a few artists who I really admired (either for awesome art, or just for being an overall awesome person), who decided that for some reason, they’re getting a new DA/Tumblr account, announcing they’re leaving their current one, but not telling where their new one is.
 
Some of them said they just weren’t into ponies anymore, or didn’t want to draw the same particular theme anymore, and felt it would be easier to just get a new name so there’d be no expectations. Others did it to escape some drama or something.
 
While I understand such reasonings for doing so, it kinda sucks knowing that an artist you really admire is still drawing, but you have no idea where, and can’t see their latest art. Even if they’re not drawing pony - if they have a good art style, or are just a cool person to talk to, I’d still follow them regardless.

The “solo female” and “solo male” tags are supposed to be used only on lewd images containing one character, and they’re a lot more heavily used than the “female” and “male” tags are.

Nope, they’re the same exact site, just alternative URLs. derpibooru.org is the site’s “default” URL, but you can use either one without issue.
 
However, cookies are based on which URL you’re using. So if you log into derpibooru.org, you won’t be logged into derpiboo.ru as well, unless you log in there separately.

That simple!
 
The tagging system is designed to allow people to easily create tags as needed. As long as you’re not creating spammish tags, no one’s going to get upset. People create new OC: (name) tags all the time

You don’t need to request a tag or anything, you just start tagging with it.
 
So if your OC’s name was “Bob”, for example, just go to an image featuring him, click “Edit Tags and Source”, and then type on “OC:Bob”, and that’ll create the tag if it doesn’t already exist.

It just makes it so much easier to multitask when you have several windows/programs open at the same time.

 
I normally can’t function without at least two monitors.

Just an alternative URL, as with the often-forgotten https://trixiebooru.org/
 
The site works the same no matter which one you use. I believe derpibooru.org is the “official” one, however.

It’s really hard to say without any context of what image/tags you’re talking about.
 
However, images should ideally be tagged with all applicable descriptive tags. As in tags that define what the image contains, and few people would argue that the tag does define the image well without any reasonable doubt. These are things that would define objects (glasses, socks, etc), characters, type (anthro, humanized, etc), and so on. If an artist doesn’t want an image tagged as “panties”, but a character in the image is clearly wearing panties that are visible, then it should still be tagged panties.
 
Opinion tags are a little trickier. For example, there’s not really any clear, solid line on when a watermark becomes “obtrusive” and thus deserving of the “obtrusive watermark” tag. Some members/anons may think a watermark is very obtrusive, while the artist may feel otherwise. Those are more of a case-by-case basis.
 
And then some “fuzzy line” tags should be left to the artist for the final say. For example - if people are confused if an image is shipping vs platonic, futa vs rule 63, etc, then I’d say go with what the artist said, as they’d know what the image is supposed to actually be better than anyone else would.

Wow, that is pretty amazing to look at!

Would it be possible to have a button to delete linked sites from a profile? I’m getting rid of one of my Tumblrs, and probably renaming a second one, so I’d like to remove the links so that people don’t see them listed under my artist tag.

If I’m writing a comment on the image, and click “post anonymously”, it’s still shows my name and avatar in the preview.
 
It doesn’t seem to happen on forum posts, and the image comment does show as anon, however.

This is the particular image I’m having problems with: http://i.imgur.com/sXsqQuL.jpg
 
Though after some testing, it seems any image off IMGUR doesn’t want to load.

I’m having difficulty using the Reverse Image Search (via URL, at least). On Chrome 39, I get a white screen with no error. IE 11 gives me an HTTP 500 error.

Never noticed that was different from clicking on the name, but it seems to work. Thanks!

For the user menu at the top right (that drops down into “watched”, “upvotes”, etc), could it it possible to make that assessable to touch screens?
 
I like to check for new art from my favorite artists using the watch list, but if I’m checking Derpibooru on a phone or tablet, clicking that simply takes me to my profile instead of showing the menu.

Not really a bug, but instead a side effect - since the news/updates Tumblr uses a custom URL in the form of a subdomain from this site, any time there’s a network outage or other failure that affects Derpibooru’s DNS, the news.derpiboo.ru Tumblr also becomes inaccessible.
 
Is there an alternative URL/workaround to viewing that Tumblr whenever the main site is down?

The “Classic” version of the game is available to play for free in your browser, but it’s several years out of date, no longer maintained, and has very few features. Essentially the only thing you can do in it is place blocks and remove blocks, but otherwise the current version of the game is entirely different from Classic.
