Are you aware they recently added the ability to disable individual blacklisted tags? Look on the left hand side where the count of matching blacklisted tags is listed and ensure everything is checked or click enable all filters.

Can't seem to find the thing you mean, but I just managed to fix the problem by removing the tag from my blacklist via the list of tags on a scat-tagged image (as you can apparently also blacklist something by clicking an icon to the right of a tag), then re-adding it through the same means.

Not sure why, but it just didn't catch when I'd manually add it to the list in my settings. Now it does. :)

Several days in after registering I still can't leave comments, still get "account too new" to send DMs, what in hell.

Not a bug, it's to prevent raids / flooding! You have to wait a total of seven days.

wait 2 days you need to have the account be 7 days old
this is to prevent flooding and spamming
just be patient

I'm not sure if this is a bug or if this is something that's unimplemented, but I'm trying to track comments across all of my posts at the same time and I'm finding that a bit difficult to do. I'm trying to include posts with my director tag, other peoples' gens that I've uploaded, plus those other peoples' gens I've uploaded that had to be replaced because of errors so they don't count as my upload anymore. For regular non-comment post searching, I'm able to use this query "~dfy6c ~user:dfY6C ~id:137905 ~id:141258 ~id:136064" to achieve exactly what I want with those inclusions, but when I try to bring that exact query into the comment search in the Tags field, it seems to only show posts under my director tag. So basically ~dfy6c ~user:dfY6C ~id:137905 ~id:141258 ~id:136064 and dfy6c (links to comment search queries) in the comment search does the same thing for some reason. If I do user:dfY6C then I can actually see some of these other peoples' gens that I've uploaded, but then I can't see comments from those posts that have been replaced or my gens that were uploaded by other people. You can see by the example links that I've provided, which are sorted by comment upvote score to make it easier to spot, that the top comments in the "user:dfY6C" comment search are not there in the "~dfy6c ~user:dfY6C ~id:137905 ~id:141258 ~id:136064" comment search, even though it should technically be including all of those posts if the "~" or other meta syntax queries worked for comment searching.

have you tried to put parenthesis?

----
dfy6c

( ~cat ~tiger ~leopard ) ( ~dog ~wolf )
Search for posts that are tagged with one (or more) of cat, tiger or leopard, and one (or more) of dog or wolf.

The opening parenthesis must be followed by a space, and the closing parenthesis must follow a space; this prevents them from being mistaken for a tag that includes a parenthesis (like many character tags do).

That doesn't seem to work. It just comes up blank. Even if I try with all of the tags in their own parenthesis, too.

Yeah, grouped searches are not supported by stuff like the comment search. I was trying to make grouped searches work for comment searches (& almost all places you can secondarily search for posts), but I could never get it working perfectly, & since it's such a niche use case, it just hit the cutting-room floor.

Iirc, I left behind my work on it & just disabled the almost-complete feature with a flag; if anyone wants to take a crack at it, go nuts. I believe the fix requires manually building the SQL string instead of using the OEM builder, but I was way too green at the time to even try doing that (plus it's a giant pain in the ass).

I see that a new feature called "From the Director" was added today on images. This feature appears to display full thumbnails regardless of whether they contain tags that I blacklisted.

And I keep getting prompted to confirm that I'm not a bot the last few days, either with pop-ups or just plain blank pages, sometimes twice in the span of like five minutes. :\

The really annoying thing is that confirming kicks you back to the landing page, even if you're in the middle of tagging an upload because the prompt will actually also appear when tag previews get loaded.
Though mercifully, if I do confirm at that point (you kinda have to or it seemingly won't parse the upload command) my browser will at that point ask me if I'd like to stay on the page or actually leave.

Still, what's this about? We getting attacked?

This.. not a bot.. bots aren't going to look at ai porn just saying lol

we were receiving a ddos on e621 and so did e6ai as well, as i was told by someone but can't quite confirm
FA was also attacked with ddos

happened a few days ago but after confirming you shouldnt be prompted again

I wonder who could DDoS both sites.

Well, I sure still am. :\

Same here. I keep being hit with the "Click to confirm you are not a bot" prompt roughly every 8 opened images. What makes it extra frustrating is that after I click the button, I am taken to the home page instead of the image I was trying to open.

this seems to be more a server side issue by how frequent is happening

so it's not a bug, just something that should be made aware

also taking it back to the homepage is programmed that way, you can still just go back a page and refresh if needed

I know, but it's still annoying with how often I need to do that.

I have it happen quite a few times a day as well. As for going back, it's not always an option. I tend to open a few images on a new tab at a time (mainly opening all the ones I'm interested in on a page before having a look at them) and if that happens there's nothing in history to get back to. So I have to try and figure out which image didn't open.
Hopefully things will get back to normal once these attacks stop.

[Edit: removed an extra word]

I'm not a robot, im not a robot, im not a robot.. repeat 50x.. smh

Some threads are just going straight to an error for me after the update, such as topic #1044 (guardians of the galaxy BUR), topic #1042 (musk_cloud -> musk alias), topic #1038 (giga BUR with e621 tag ports), and others. The error shows "An unexpected error occurred. Log ID: 9522d827-a650-4226-940a-5f8044b1228f" with the log ID expectedly changing per thread, and per refresh of the same thread. Complete hunch but this might be related to the new voting UI, which can be seen in working threads like topic #1045, and possibly to some threads not having any votes. It was the only logged change in the update that was strictly related to Forum posts, but I'm not a programmer so my insight on that probably isn't very useful.

EDIT: Already fixed, thanks devs!

What's worse about the "I'm not a robot" thing is that you don't even need to confirm it. You can just refresh the page and it will take you to the thing you were trying to access anyway, making it extra pointless.

Could someone from staff at least address this, please? It's getting a bit infuriating. Some communication would go a long way.

More than once I've been adding a whole bunch of tags to something, only for the site to take me to the blank page with the button, and whether I say 'yes' or just hit return, those tags will be unprocessed and also gone from the editor. So now I have to remind myself to Ctrl+C the list all the time.

It was addressed briefly by Jelloponies in this thread, but we should've commented on it in here as well.

We get that it's annoying, and like Jello said in the other thread, we've been communicating with the sysadmin about it. We've seen the feedback, both on here and on the Discord, and we're quite frankly just as annoyed by it (I had to confirm I wasn't a robot to access this thread) as you guys are, so trust me when I say that we get it. I'm sorry it's been an issue for this long, but hopefully it'll get better soon.

Oh, I hadn't seen that thread. Thank you, it's reassuring to know that it's at least being looked into. 👍
