Tag subscriptions will stop updating on February 1

Their functionality will be replaced by saved searches. The two should be functionally equivalent now. Existing tag subscriptions will not be deleted and you can migrate them to saved searches at any time by browsing to the admin page.

If there are any concerns or bugs you've noticed you can write about them here or post them on Github.

Will the title of the subscription and the tags for them no longer show up on your profile at that date? I just use mine as reminders.

We still don't have private saved searches, do we?

They're already private. Which is a shame, I like being able to see people's favorite artists in their profile.

Could we increase the number of saved searches thumbnails visible in profile pages to 14 or 15? And make uploads and favorites the same so it's uniform (related discussion: topic #13381)

Also, it seems that I can't add new tags on existing saved searches. Any workaround with that?

Edit: Looks like clicking "Save Search" would add a tag to an existing saved search or create a new one.

I suggest a national day of mourning. With Danbooru edged in black on that day.

On the contrary, I do want public saved searches... I keep my subscriptions public for the reason that I like sharing the artists that I like and think are good.

Will there be something like that planned?

Is it possible to implement the mass edit functionality of tag subscriptions (Tag Subscriptions -> Saved Searches)?

I'd also like to see a new help:saved_searches (compare help:tag_subscriptions) wiki page that outlines current capabilities and specs.

I only use saved searches if I want to do some tag gardening.
So maybe this should be made public, because it could lead to more help...in theory.

Well, that's a shame. Do saved searches actually replace subscriptions in terms of functionality? I like subscriptions because I can just head to my profile for a quick glance and see new art by artists I follow or such.

Yep, and they do it better at that. Subscriptions update on daily intervals whereas saved searches update on demand. That way you see all the new stuff too.

Only difference is that one can be public, other can't. At least for now.

Does that mean they update when I click on my profile? Or when I click a specific search?

I'm pretty sure they are updated automatically, too. It was supposed to be manual when it was created first, but it was reworked later, though to be frank I'm not sure how it works now, either.

Is there any way to rearrange the order of the saved searches on your profile except remaking them entirely? And I would also like if there was an option to make them public, I have nothing to hide on mine and it would be nice if people found new artist from mine.

Might want to stick this in one of those header news thingies so people that never glance at the forums can see.

You can check my original forum post here, but basically, saved searches are currently ordered by the "updated at" timestamp. So to bring a saved search to the top of the ordering, just go in and edit it. Albeit it's not the easiest method, but it's what's currently available.

Yeah, it's not the easiest but it doesn't take too long time to do thankfully, just will be annoying to do it every time you add something to one of them.

Could we get a quick link to search:all in the navigator to replace the subscriptions button when this all happens?

A way to create new saved searches, as well as editing existing ones would be nice from the page itself as well. I can also suggest putting the tag list of each saved search inside a collapsible box to save on space.
