Introduction to Pixiv

I see that all the time when posting artists that seem to not have an entry, and then end up fixing the entry afterward.

I do this as well, and it seems to work at least somewhat since I have to do it less and less recently.

I have a question for anyone who's a bit knowledgeable with Pixiv, and/or knows Japanese and can figure it out: how do you send illustmessages to people? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated :)

It just occurred to me there's another replacement that's nearly as bad (source:http://www.pixiv.net/member.php) with another 19 pages of poorly sourced images but these shouldn't be completely junk sourced like the remaining ones in member_illust.php.

Log said: To me the part that sucks the worst about it is there's a few tagged with an artist but nobody ever bothered to actually fill out the artist form so there's no reliable way to locate works they have done since.

Yep. Seems like almost every new artist I come upon has no URLs in the artist entry.

All the ones where an artist still had an active account are fixed, there's only 5 or less left. This makes nearly every pixiv image properly sourced.

If you want to keep notifying people I can send you summaries of who is still doing it once a week or something, jxh2154.

In good news, some of the worst offenders have stopped (people who were flooding 2 pages of posts a day all with /member_illust.php sources.) I forget who you were but I haven't seen your usernames in a while so thanks!

That might be useful actually, thanks. I just need to tweak my email to include a more generic example, so I don't have to pick specific examples from each person's uploads.

yeah I'm a year late but I'm having problems turning off the mature filter. When I click the left button of 年齢制限作品（R-18）, 表示する　then I get グロテスクな作品（R-18G）. When I click the button on the bottom I get a error message above my user name メールアドレスが正しくありません. Also in red next to 新しいパスワード(確認) is パスワードが一致しません. Any ideas?

R-18G is guro. The first error message is "Your email address is incorrect", the second is next to "new password (confirmation)" and says "your password did not match" (probably meaning that it thinks you tried to change your password but you didn't enter it the same twice).

Ahh thanks I got it working, my user name for some reason showing up where my email is supposed to be threw me off.

And sweet jesus christ especially thanks for the warning about guro.

how would you find a specific user from this since click the link only produced a error for me..

Do you have more context in which you're finding an error? Is this from a Danbooru post or artist entry? That link doesn't work because it's not a full link...

Wouldn't it just be http://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=3568 ?
Seeing as the pixivID stated there is 3568 and all...

A nico video's credits?

Doesn't seem to have a Danbooru record.
No properly sourced images, at least.

I have tried to make a pixiv account a few days by entering my email address as instructed; but I never have gotten my confirmation email, so I typed my address again, and again, and again with no success. It's so frustrating! Can anybody help me?

I think the site doesn't accept certain email services. I think I remember hearing you couldn't use hotmail but it worked fine for me. Could always just make a quick yahoo account and register with that.

I'm assuming you checked your junk folder.

When I try to load pixiv, I get an AC_RunActiveContent.js error, and the page looks terrible, after googling and not finding a definite solution, it seems it may be on the server side. Anybody else getting this? I tried updating both flash player and java, plus disabled all my add-ons on Firefox.

Did you try hard refresh? (Ctrl-F5)

I'm trying to register for the site, but after the first step (enter an e-mail address and hit the yellow button below it), I just get a blank page and get no confirmation e-mail whatsoever (not even in my junk folder). It's probably because I'm trying to sign up with a Yahoo address, but is the site supposed to redirect to a blank page after entering in your e-mail address?

I created my account, and a few days later I tried to log in, but guess what? It wouldn't let me in. So I went to "Forgot id/password" and typed in my e-mail. It said "user doesn't exist" so I went to create a new account with my e-mail, but guess what? It said someone was already registered with it..can someone tell me what's going on?

It's case sensitive, so make sure you pay attention to that.

for my question, how do you see a bigger version of an image without being a member?

You don't.
