Anything from the Pony Fiction Vault  
Some personal favourites include Fire Spores, Yours Truly, Under A Luminous Sky and Romance Reports
 
BronyCon 2019 also had a panel/vote thing about The Greatest Fanfic Of All Time (or something like it), which also includes some more recent fics. Just ignore the competitive aspect of it and look up some of the stories in there (sorry, I don’t have a list somewhere). At the very least, consider The Enchanted Library

Is small thumbnails (the 150x150 ones) gone, or just not implemented yet?
How much do you want it? It’d be a pain in the ass to add.
 
If it’s only me, I don’t really mind. I can probably hack around it with a userstyle if I really want to.
 
Also, noticed some more small cosmetic things (might have been reported already, sorry if that’s the case):  
  • if you search for a tag that is implied by others, like rape or shipping, the Implied by (warning: unfiltered) is by default expanded. Especially on the second of the example tags, this gives quite the wall (on the current site, it is collapsed by default)  
  • in the current system, taginfo (if you do shipping for a single tag or safe,shipping for a multitag example) is only present on the first page of the results. On Philomena, it seems to work the same for multitags, but not for a single tag: the taginfo is shown on every page.
     
    Normally this is the kind of stuff that I would just go and fix myself, but I just don’t have the time for it at the moment. Hopefully around the new year I can have some time again

Some feedback:  
  1. Found a bug on the Settings page (see besow)  
  2. Is small thumbnails (the 150x150 ones) gone, or just not implemented yet?
     
     
    Settings page bug  
  • on the current site, you can set a maximum of 100 comments on the Comments tab (or at least, mine is set to that)  
  • On philomena, this means I cannot save my settings without changing that one as well. It does give an nice error (see screenshot below, the setting has moved to the Display tab).  
    full
     
    HOWEVER if I go to settings, change something on a different tab, and then hit save, there is no indication whatsoever that something is wrong, nor that it is that. For example, if I went to Settings, go to the Metadata tab, and then Save (regardless of whether I changed something), it won’t save.
     
    It isn’t a really big deal; if 50 is the new limit just do a migration on the current site or something.
     
    I totally realize that I could just implement smallthumbs myself

@furbyguy  
Reverse search doesn’t catch everything. In case of your comics:  
  • Your upload had a white background, the one it was merged into a transparent background.  
  • Your comic didn’t have black borders, whereas the original one has.
     
    Sometimes the reverse search will find them, sometimes not. Things like the above are especially difficult, and the occasional dupe is preferable over having to look through dozens of false positives. If you can’t find it with the expected search terms (like artist:theartistname,rd,sl,comic or something) and reverse search turns up nothing and you’ve checked the artist isn’t DNP, then you’ve done what you could to prevent dupes.
     
    I recommend you go to Settings -> “Notifications” tab -> make sure at least the “Subscribe on Upload” one is checked, and Save. That way, you’ll get a notification if it’s merged.

Yes.
 
There was a really awesome plugin some years ago, I forgot what it was called, it was basically what Related Images does except it was insanely accurate* (it did look a little bit at image tags, but also at “other users that favourited x have also favorited y”). I recall the algorithm behind it being quite complex superlinear probably exponential, damn I hope I can find again which one that was.
 
* = the current Related Images actually isn’t bad, and it’s better than it used to be, the one I’m talking about was just in a different league and didn’t suggest so much anthro the whole time

@byte[]  
Since we’re moving to BBCode anyway, I don’t know what reference parsers say about this but are we going to enforce strictly correctly nested tags and just do whatever otherwise? In other words,  
\_some words \*yolo\_ more words\*  
Current behaviour: some words yolo more words  
Annoying (?) incorrectly-nested-but-eventually-closed tags behaviour: some words yolo more words  
(also, have fun converting that to BBCode. Hard mode is where  
some words  
*yolo
 
more words*  
are in separate lines/paragraphs)

 
It’s less relevant for Derpi than it is for, say, Fimfiction (because epub standards), but I happen to like correct nesting.

I was away pretty much the whole of Saturday so I’m only seeing this just now. If it’s still possible to get added, >>1617723 but if not, eh, happens. I haven’t been super active in recent years either.

Yes, I’m aware I could just do this myself, but they’re both not particularly small tags (200 and 1500 images) so either it has just gone by unnoticed, or I’m missing something crucial, although in the latter case, a short description would be welcome.
 
Both tags are actually added by mods as well as a number of users: it’s not just three people using one tag and dozens using the other. Some users even use both.

Adding to this, uBlock Origin actually does this by default, or at least, if you use the few recommended filter lists.  
You can either whitelist derpibooru entirely, although at least for me it was enough to specifically allow images like this:  
  1. Go to the uBlock Origin dashboard like this: https://i.imgur.com/xYfkpbt.png  
  2. Add a line for derpibooru.org like this (substitute with common sense if you’re using trixiebooru.org etc):  
    full  
    Copy-pasteble for anyone’s convenience:  
    derpibooru.org https://derpicdn.net image allow
     
    (you can also do this with the button to the left of the circled one and do some magic stuff and actually find out what rule/filter set is causing it, but the above will fix your problem in probably the most minimal way)

Sounds like the problem is more that that direct facebook link probably has some kind of hotlink protection. If you’re not too scared of the command line, just use youtube-dl and then convert it locally in your favorite whatever.  
No, I’m not going to explain how to use youtube-dl. It has a pretty good manual.

Addendum for yesterday, yes, the document.activeElement seems to happen here as well. Very strange. When I have some time (no promises on when, sorry, but eh, given that it’s been manifesting for a few months now…) I’ll start to look into this.

@JP  
Thanks for confirming, and that’s also a nice find on the active element, I’ll see if I have time to confirm that back one of these days.
 
The tagbox autofocusing might indeed explain the scrolling, though no idea why it’s coinciding with the favicon. On the favicon front, I’m not sure if it’s because it’s the favicon, or an svg, or both, or whatever. It might just be collateral from strange autofocusing or vice versa.
 
I’ll report back my findings when I have them. I need to find a giant whiteboard first, perhaps

Just to chime in but yeah, has been happening here for a few months as well now. Also Firefox, and also not sure what’s going on.
 
It’s not just Derpibooru: a few websites I use at work suffer from the same problem (focus being all over the place, random pages opening scrolled halfway, etc), which now that I think about it started around the same time as it did here on Derpibooru. I’ve even had some plaintext pages scroll randomly on me by now.
 
At this point I’d lean more towards this being a browser ‘feature’ rather than something we can actually fix.
 
That said, I just did some testing with F12/Network on, and it seems that every time it goes wrong, it loads the favicon.svg last (or at least after the image). I’ve done this multiple times on my end, and it seems to be consistent so far. Can anyone confirm this perhaps? (the favicon is also used in the top-left of the website).  
Correct (click for bigger): full

Nice! Way back (way, way back) I used a self-written one that also had some options to save things (I don’t use these parts anymore, since most of what it did is now in the site itself) but it was ugly as hell. It just added some divs to the (then single-page) Settings page. I think to this very day there’s still some leftover settings cluttering up my LocalStorage, but I’m too lazy to clean it up.
 
Starred the repo though, perhaps I’ll use it to finally publish the one userscript that enables one of the April Fools modes or something.

^This. I can’t even remember the last time I downloaded an image with tags.
 
Not sure if this should be an account setting or a device-specific setting, but yeah, with the new buttons it needs to be a setting (I always liked the DS/VS buttons, dunno why they had to go)

You could probably make it slightly more targeted by using  
anthro,-capper,-otheranthrofromthemovie,-etc
or something (idk which characters are anthro here). This would still get you anthro twi x capper or anthro tempest x humanized capper shipping or whatever, buuuuut if you just want it to work in general, that should do it.

@saby  
Are you using the plain text box or the fancy one? Whichever it is, shouldn’t this then also apply to various other boxes? Like the comment box, image description, etc? I agree it would be a nice feature, I have no intention to drop the resizability, but until you mess with it at least, it should probably grow as you type.  
personally I’d love to have a super huge searchbox one day, because I like my searches to become quite large, but that’s more of a power user feature so eh
 
@The Smiling Pony  
If there’s not too many faves, you could just do a faved_by:myotheraccount,-my:faves and keep faving whatever comes up until it’s empty. But afterwards don’t forget to go back to myotheraccount and unfave/unvote everything.  
You can also use the API, but I’m not going to help coding it
