Would it not be possible to run a reverse image search when fetching an image on the upload page, so the uploader can see the comparison (if any) and have to confirm it is different/better? I feel like most nameless uploaders don’t bother searching beforehand.

I’d also like to restate my interest in tooltips on tags while adding them, so I don’t have to add and update tags just to discover they have an obscure other meaning and have to remove them. Also showing implications would be nice too. And my second request for the DNP list to be split into letter categories.

When you’ve enabled the option to display thumbnails of WEBM files as GIFs, the GIF should animate as normal instead of going through selected frames.

You can watch the artist’s tag. Then pictures by this artist will appear in your watched section.

Would anyone like to have a follow feature to stay in contact with a local post being sent? Most users who upload mostly here should have more attention to them if this site had a follow feature

Oh, so that’s because >50% of “shackles” and “alternate version” images are explicit. I guess this system is not ideal, but the best alternative to categorizing tags manually. Though maybe raising the “50%” cutoff would yield better results?

Thanks for the implementation info. Perhaps it should be documented in the description of the “unfilter tag suggestions” option? Because right now the description makes it sound like only tags directly in my filter would be blocked.

@Background Pony #2A5F
Tag completions are not filtered by the terms directly in your filter; they are filtered by a small list of associations of tags (e.g., if a tag associates >50% with a filtered tag with more images, don’t show it in suggestions). Try completing “ball” with Everything vs. Default to see the effect of that.

I don’t know what’s the minimum image count, but shackles has 2051 images, and alternate version has 58851 images. They are not in my filter either. They only appear in the suggestions after unfiltering is enabled.

I’ve found more tags which should’ve been suggested, but weren’t. Sadly, I don’t remember which ones they were. If I encounter them in the future, where should I report them? Should I just create new threads for these reports?

@Background Pony #2A5F
You can unfilter the suggestions in your local settings, to see if it’s filtered or simply not included due to containing too few images.

Oh, so tag suggestions are filtered now? That would explain why some tag suggestions have stopped appearing. Where should we report incorrectly filtered tag suggestions? Some reports are in the General Tag Discussion thread.

@Background Pony #0F89
It should pretty much be possible now that tag suggestions are filtered. However it needs a bit of change to how the client search parser works (to extract the term at the cursor position and handle incomplete queries).

To have suggestions/autocomplete in the search bar has been previously decided against on the grounds that tags themselves don’t have ratings and inappropriate tags would get shown to anyone - which can already happen if someone goes to edit tags on an image, but the search bar is much more forward-facing and widely used.

Don’t know why it didn’t occur to me until just now - having that feature be opt-in (whether purely local like display settings, or requiring an account) should take care of that, right?

@Heckfy Improver
Suggestions about tag meaning, implications, or aliasing should be done in the Tagging Discussion forum.

There is “i can’t believe it’s not hasbro studios” tag, that actually means simply “show accurate”. I guess it should be merged as aliases.

Has there been any thought about moving the “About Me” section on profiles to be above the badges section? Feel like it would be better higher up, given how some badge sections can get a little absurd in how long they’re getting.

Could we get the do-not-post list sorted into lettered categories, please? It’s so long at this point it’s quite a hassle to narrow down a specific entry within a list of page numbers, especially when only six are shown at a time. If that’s not comparable with the code, a search bar would be nice at least, if it understands partial entries.

When the only new post(s) to a thread—whether in the forums or image comments—are deleted, the notification should be suppressed.

@JP
It should then be also autochanged in searches and filters.

If everything mods have told me about comment removals is true, then you’re going to need better comment mass deletion tools. The .mov spammer is making so massive runs these days it’ll take an entire day to clean them up using the current one-at-a-time system.

Is there a way to change the sort of searched images by default? I would prefer sort by image ID instead of initial post date.

I still think this would be a good idea. I’ve been fixing a lot of fullwidth colon tags lately. And the worst is, the uploader does not seem to understand why I’m altering the tags and tries to “correct” them back.

@The Smiling Pony
Thanks for the info. I know from experience that forum listings, in particular, get cropped in mobile views in the current design (notably, number of replies and link to most recent post are omitted from portrait mode on phone-size viewports).

@PUBLIQclopAccountant
Unless things have changed since when it was last discussed, and I don’t have a reason to believe they have, the changes are purely technical in order to solve a number of issues when using the site on mobile, with no real effect on how the site is displayed / behaves on desktop (or tablets, I guess).

A complete UI redesign was mentioned in the approval queue thread. Are there hints of the direction of the design overhaul, or is it still mostly in the design phase?

Could you please add the tag tooltips to the edit tags section? I keep on adding tags that make logical sense, only to find that they have a specific meaning after mousing over the added tag and having to immediately remove them again.

For example, but not limited to, “Solo Female” makes logical sense for any image with one female character in it, but the tooltip defines it as specifically sexual. Also, the “Friendship is Magic” tag makes sense for any G4-related image, but is specific to the episode of that name (clearly shown as yellow after the edit, but during it looks like any other tag). To that end, it might also be helpful to have the tag colours in the editor too, but I’d settle for the tooltips alone.

It might also help to note in the tooltip which other tags are applied when one is added, to save time adding redundant entries. That’s just a minor suggestion, though.

When the resized scaled-down version of an image has a larger file size, the site should just serve the original. For example, NSFW >>2828170 the “large” version is ~100KB larger than the full res.
