this happens because its element is sized relative to its parent element. so, if there's something that forces that parent element to expand past what's expected, the image and a bunch of other elements will try to do the same.

I wanted to thank you for the #post-description-container { max-width: 98vw; }
It seems to be fine for me besides to text overflow.

Not gonna lie, the settings verification thing sent me into orbit

The verification system FurID™ is a really great addition to the website, hope it stays for the security of the community!

It's not even April yet :(

Not all the world is on the same timezone!

Example: the Chatham Islands in New Zealand were already on April 1st nearly 8 hours ago (Their timezone is UTC+13:45). They had already been in April for almost 6 hours before your comment :3

I learned today I can no longer edit my settings without javascript enabled. I turned javascript off because of the "april fools joke". I had to go add furid_(e621) to my blacklist.

It'd be nice if settings could be changed without javascript, even if the page looks a little weird.

Oh, it turns out the blacklist relies on javascript too. Wonderful.

I dislike that we can't easily select tags anymore (before we just positioned the cursor to the side of the tag, click and drag (good to copy-paste complicated names and multiple names), now we can't do that anymore without also copying the ?+- symbols or the numbers).

I feel the necessity to re-state that, it's my biggest complain about the changes and it's very inconvenient not being able to copy two lines and paste them in a Windows file name (only one line gets pasted).

so, I've got two potential solutions to your issue.

first is adding a margin between the ? + - and the tag's name:

.tag-list-search { margin-left: .5em; }

this effectively adds a "dead zone" to the left of the tag that makes it easier/possible to drag select the tag name on its own from there.

second is replacing the clickable/selectable tag count with visual-only text:

.tag-list-count { display: none; }
.tag-list-item::after { content: attr(data-count); color: var(--palette-text-grey); margin-top: 2px; margin-right: 4px; }

the downside of this is that the value isn't truncated (45123 -> 45k) like it normally is.

I'm not exactly sure why you wouldn't be able to select multiple lines of tags at once, though, and I'm not sure if either of these would help or not. I'm able to do that fine on my end...

If you routinely rename downloaded files using copypasted tags, may I recommend that you use re621 to do it automatically?
It lets you customize the name of the file you get when you click the "Download" button.

Blacklist always used javascript. Nothing has changed in that regard.
I'll see what I can do about the settings page issue. Should be a fairly simple fix.

Well, I can select multiple lines, but when pasting in a file name only the first line actually gets pasted.

If I could fav and like posts I would, this script is very useful and it should be shared more. Although it doesn't perfectly do what I want (nor could it unless it could read my mind) it does a pretty good job, not to mention all the other QoL improvements.

What do you think of the new interface of our beloved e621?

I liked it because I never imagined that the website interface would change, so I still haven't gotten used to the change, I'm still adapting to finding each option.

And maybe even find out if new secret interactions have been added, who knows. Hehe

This even reminded me of the time the website made a joke by changing the color to red and yellow, a reference to another website that did this, and called it mustard and ketchup.

So thanks e621 team, a new interesting change from e621.

I think it's fine for the most part. I just don't like hlw small the font is when I look down at the tags ln a post. Even on mobile, I feel like I have to squint my eyes and that bothers me.

"New" layout didn't fix any of the issues with the last "new" layout while introducing more problems so it's a nope from me.
Profiles are worse, account links moved to the right side of the screen for some reason, worse options/settings, messages page has been made EVEN WIDER with more dead space. That goes for the artist page too.
I haven't noticed too many changes but the profile/account ones are the most glaring.
