The reason the image thumbnails aren't displaying the alt-text is because the code considers them text links. The images have article id= "post" in the code when it should be div class= "post-thumbnail". Will this be fixed soon? Was this actually an intentional change?
I really hope that it's gonna be fixed soon.
Hi, I just made an account to ask if this was a bug or intended feature?
Posts don't show hovertips; I'ved tried clean firefox and clean chromium.
Desktop only, don't have a phone.
Weirdly, user avatars, like those seen in this forum, show hovertext and artist info.
If the unusual decision has been made to disable them on default for lurkers, is there a way I can re-enable them while not logged in?
And if it's a planned feature, could I ask why it's been implemented?
It's incredibly handy to find artist information at a glance.
Right now, I'm far less likely to use the site, as is.
Thank you!

Have noticed the same thing, was wondering if others had this as well or if it was just on my end. No hovertips as of the last couple days or so! Halp devs!

Hovering over an image thumbnail no longer displays the alt-text containg the tags, even if you're logged in. It was still displaying the alt-text when you hovered over it yesterday. Is this a bug or has it been changed? The images have article id=post instead of div class="post-thumbnail" in the code.
Ahh yeah, glad others have all noticed this as well. Hopefully we can get an answer as to what happened and hopefully if it can be reverted, that was a very handy feature.
keeping track of issue where hovering over an image thumbnail no longer displays the alt-text containing the tags
temp solution: add this CSS customization:
article img {
pointer-events: unset;
}Can I make a kinda bulk request here?
“”
Do you see the issue there?
‘’
There?
Yeah, the apple version of the quotation mark characters (U+0091 -> U+0094) aren’t compatible with several syntaxes and I have to copy-paste characters U+0022 and U+0027 from elsewhere to make my syntax actually work. Can there be a feature to auto-replace U+0091 and U+0092 with U+0027 and replace U+0093 and U+0094 with U+0022?

is there really no way to type the neutral " on Apple devices? with the virtual keyboard on iOS I'd assume you could just hold down the quotation mark key to bring up subkeys, like how typing diacritics and stuff works, for a physical keyboard I'm not sure. although, I'd have to imagine that there's a way to turn that feature off and just type the normal neutural quote rather than automatically replacing them with the opening and closing quotes.

Unfortunately, with a physical keyboard, it is impossible to type neutral quotes without copy-pasting it, but with a digital keyboard you CAN make neutral quotes by holding down on the symbol. I guess you could set up an auto-replacement setting in your iOS settings but those are incredibly unreliable and don’t work like quotes should. I would just like an auto-replace in e6.
Huh, aren't neutral quotes the default on ios (virtual keyboard in my instance)?

“and these are the alternate forms?”
Edit: Oh I know your problem
Go to settings -> keyboards -> turn off smart punctuation
Not sure if this is an intermittent issue or a regular one, but the site is loading things incredibly slowly. I can play 3 1080p videos on youtube simultaneously but it's taking me 10 seconds to get 2 seconds of video on here.
I also don't know if I should even be complaining about this here but I wasn't sure where else to post it.
I'm running into an upload error:
"Error: Unknown error! Undefined"
I have tags added, source link, a link to the parent post, and a valid image format (jpg) but I can't get it to upload. I've closed out FF and cleared my cache but I get the same error. I am not out of daily uploads (57 remaining) and had just uploaded the parent post a few minutes prior. I'm not sure what the issue is.
No idea if it's related, but I'm also running into an upload error I've never seen before:
error: Vips::Error - Vips::Error
tredfg543 said:

Vips is the image processing library, so if that's where the error is thrown from it's more than likely the file you're trying to upload itself is malformed in some way. Vips would usually give a more descriptive error like "Vips::Error: VipsJpeg: Invalid SOS parameters for sequential JPEG" but that might not get passed onto the end user.
Browsers generally show malformed images just fine, but e621 is evidently a little stricter than that. If you have a link to the image I can check it out.
New to forum posting, apologies if I’m doing this incorrectly.
Attempting to sort comments using the comments sector of the site consistently times out, making it impossible to sort comments or search comments (outside of the created order, which is default)

On that note...

videos dont seem to load properly anymore, on chrome they load but the seek feature is entirely disabled, you can only pause and unpause, on firefox the video generally just wont load, either getting stuck loading or giving an error message like "no video with supported format and MIME type found" (which is a lie, as spam reloading the page enough will eventually get it to load), this started a few days ago, never had issues before
Despite the length of the timeout timer when searching for comments on the site being increased (or, might’ve been, I don’t know!), searching for comments in any way shape or form is impossible. Outside of the default load of recently posted comments, of course.
Otherwise, any comment searching is completely impossible. Maybe due to how many comments there are? Why is there a timeout to begin with?
totesttheworld said:

There's a timeout on everything so things don't sit there hogging connections to the database
The limit for members is 3 seconds, for Privileged is 6 seconds, and for former staff and higher is 9 seconds
I am looking for the feedback and site suggestion cause tags are a complete mess right now.
right now, tags are NOT applied to certain things and a blacklist is catching them as if they were blacklisted, when none of the visible tags are the blacklisted
the tags FORCE CORRECT anything and everything you put. It's not a suggestion if you can't place an appropriate tag, THAT is a bug in my book.

On desktop.
Navigating between submission pages using the "Prev" and "Next" header buttons causes the "Add to Set" option on the sidebar of the new page to malfunction. It takes you to a duplicate submission page (same url but with a # appended) and scrolls to the top, rather than loading the option window, and picking "add to set" there still will not function
"Add to pool", "set as avatar", and other options are not affected, only "add to set".
No metatags for contributor tag count

They do exist, I know damn well because I tested them
Just the same that approving AIBURs shouldn't be failing, we have tests for those
Both of these (and a few other minor issues) I'm pretty certain are caused by the job runners using outdated code, but even when I was staff I couldn't get any response when asking about it, so maybe they'll get restarted when bd comes back, maybe they'll get restarted in a few months, who knows
It took months for artverified to work properly, and once again it was outdated job runners (which I called out within the same day, might I add)

I was trying to add a set and got blank error when using the "add to set" button on left panel, so tried it with set:xxxxx and got this error message.
Is it just really really busy right now, or is that error message misleading?

Definitely less than 10000. Let me check...
1066 members after adding it.
Having issues using "-votedup:anything" today, was working fine yesterday. "votedup:anything" still seems to work, its only when trying to remove votedup items from search with - that it seems to not work and keeps upvoted items in the search results. -fav is still working.

While I can see the uploads attributed to this artist tag through other search methods, and I can see that the artist tag has 358 hits on those uploads, actually clicking the artist tag shows "Nobody Here But Us Chickens" and no uploads. Same results both logged in or logged out, blacklist on or off. Other artist tags work fine. I reset my browser just to be sure. I know I've viewed this artist tag before, so this is a somewhat recent error.

Oh I know this one!
search x6udpngx instead!
The recent alias of pngx_(artist) has been queued (first part of approval) but hasn't been fully approved. This means it's in a state of limbo. The alias redirect is active but the posts haven't been moved over.
So the posts are under pngx_(artist), but when you search it, you are searching pngx (which do not have the posts)
A workaround is to search a tag that's aliased to pngx_(artist), which in this case is x6udpngx, which redirects the search to pngx_(artist) (which actually has the posts)
Also the post will transfer to pngx if the post containing the tag pngx_(artist) gets edited

Thank you very much; unfortunately, this requires I be logged in and is thus functionally useless to me and the overwhelming majority of users that prefer not to log in, or create or maintain another account they are unlikely to maintain.
Although I'm very glad it can be fixed this way, and very grateful for your assistance, I hope that functionality that was available in the past is re-implemented, rather than the continuous march of erasing functional design and pretending it never existed until end-users forget about it.
The Flash thumbnail is broken again.

Flash posts have never had a thumbnail picked from the post
it's a generic black on white text similar to the deleted post image
The one for flash just says download
For some reason flash posts are trying to use https://static1.e621.net/images/download-preview.png rather than https://e621.net/images/download-preview.png

There's no trace of that in the source, so that was some custom behavior that was broken at some point and never fixed
It seems like https://static1.e621.net/images/download-preview.png existed at some point as a hack for Flash files (the url in the archive above is that same url), but that file was deleted (intentionally or on accident, your guess is as good as mine)
ignoring that I just don't really like the new hamburger menu opening up to cover like 80+% of the screen on mobile. and it also moving Wiki, Help and More off the bottom of the screen in some situations.
there's just no link to /users/home anywhere on the website anymore.
Updated
Well the new mobile menu is definitely a thing. Would have preferred a bit of a heads up. 😕
opening the nav menu causes the entire page to shift down slightly.

No more easy access to randomised welcomes, blips mentioning me, or sets i maintain
the forum link in the headder dosn't italicize when there are unread threads anymore.
also what is that icon even supposed to be? the thing says "fa-chalkboard" but I'm not seein' it. also, I'm not sure that even makes sense if it did look like what it was supposed to.
Updated
Not entirely sure if it's a website bug or a me thing, but the mascot images on the homepage don't display anymore.
Running Windows 10, Firefox version 134.0.2 (64-bit) if that helps at all.
Update, it was a "me" issue. Custom CSS style I had in advanced settings was doing it.

None at all? Could you share a screenshot?
You could also try clearing the browser cache, that helped with a similar issue in the past.
as SpuriousZabaione pointed out in Blips there's no link to the artists section on the nav menu anymore.
on the lower end of the non-mobile view screen width (897px - ~1092px) the Discord, SubscribeStar, and/or More links get pushed under another element or past the end of the screen. and the same is true for several of the buttons for the secondary list at resolutions as high as ~1248px.
I am still unable to disable blacklisted tags, pressing disable all or selecting specific tags does nothing. This has been an issue for at least 3 months. Is there a fix for it in the works? Am on Mobile if that helps at all...

Yeah themes don't mesh at all with homepage. Hotdog is a particularly good example
Also you don't need to reply to milly, they're gone now (though we do have a milly 2.0)
Just wanted to point out some issues with the changes I noticed on my still old-ass version of firefox:
The links at the top aren't consistently aligned
https://i.imgur.com/Hwt6qt9.png
Non-gif animated posts (ex: https://e621.net/posts/5339931) that are blacklisted show the play button below the blacklisted image, but otherwise fine when you disable the blacklists

Hovertips still not working, which really sucks sometimes when it's not obvious what's in a picture just from the thumbnail.
It's been a couple months, what gives?
Not sure if it's been noted already, but:
If you activate "blacklist users" in settings, then go you the comments page from your account, it will hide all of your comments if a blacklisted users' name appears anywhere in your comments. So, as an example, if you replied to a comment by a blacklisted user before activating this setting, then turned it on, it appears that all of your comments will be hidden. It seems that this is only applied to this page though; it does not actually hide your comments on posts, nor does it hide all mentions even if entries on that page include mentions from blacklisted users.
Edit: it does appear that your comments all appear hidden, at least from your own perspective. Hiding mentions from blacklisted users seems to be working correctly though.
Updated
it seems like when the news site-notice thing at the top of pages is minimized/unexpanded it's still possible to click parts of hyperlinks that are on the first line. not sure if this is a new or existing issue.
Removing your vote from a BUR doesn't allow you to select a new vote without reloading the page. I remember this having been an issue before that was fixed, but it seems to have broke again.

Well the temporary solution is putting this in your custom css
article img {
pointer-events: unset;
}
The thing about that change is it was quasi intentional

I don't recall that having been fixed, that's a simple issue I've been sitting on for a good while
I fixed an issue that removed all vote buttons on any forum post when you voted a long time ago, but forgot to include the vote buttons hidden on the page whenever you've already voted

I third this idea. The convenience and ease of using the forums would increase tenfold. SNP would be able to aid the public twice in the time it takes to help one individual in this way moderation team of e621. I kindly suggest that you peruse the opportunity of this feature. It would improve the quality of this image hosting board, and would be received widely well I believe, for the benefit of all is accomplished by this feature.

I mean, yeah, kinda but, unless the site actually keeps track of the ID of the first unread forum message on a thread, I'm not sure there'd be much less inelegant one. but that being said, just having bottom (and top) anchor links on pages that tend to get upwards of ~24 screens tall on mobile would be kinda nice to have regardless.
