Danbooru 2 upgrade on Feb 16, 2013

Posted under General

Danbooru looks messed up now on my phone, there is a big blank space the size of all the pictures, before the pictures actually appear when i do a tag search.

Also I rather dislike the pool showing up on the top left corner rather than at the top. I know it's question of habit but it felt better at the top of the image. The arrows also feel too small.

Appears like pool names are doomed to the fate of "normal tag formatting". Fairly bad.

Edit:

Posts with score -3 or lower are marked red. Posts with score 3 or higher are marked green.

No, they are not.

Updated

Eh... not sure if these are mentioned:

- recent tags gone
- submit changes button below all the searched tags (related tags, etc)
- wiki pages that aren't created automatically directs you to create one when browsing from existing pages. Before they had "no wiki exists" and still shows posts with the tag, which was still more helpful than telling you to create one when you want to know what the tag is about.
Not sure if i made sense here.

sorry if this has been answered but how do you change tags from "general" to "character"? the way i used to do it doesn't seem to exist on here anymore.

I'm pretty sure char: and character: still work the same as always. Were you doing something else?

Although changing back to general is another story. gen: and general: don't work.

I'll try to make it short. There are some good and some bad new features.

The good ones:

Having uploader instead of user distinguishes it more clearly from the artist.

Grouped tags are now neatly arranged.

Having the pools over the tags instead of cluttering up the top of the screen, especially if there are more of them, is quite convenient. Please replace the tiny <<&>> with prev&next, though.

The bad ones:

The old profile page was better. If it's not too much of a hassle reverting it would be nice.

The menu bar having important items hidden under "More" is inconvenient. Since different people consider different things important making the list configurable would be great.

Enabling adding to pools with pool:number is a must do.

The really bad ones:

Tag completion not working in the tag box.

Having to log in every time forcing me to reload all tabs with IQDB checks.

The last two threaten to drive me insane. Please for the love of god, devil and everything between remedy those.

He already changed it back to user:.

You're being logged out? Did you check 'Remember' when signing in?

Where is this resize button?

He hadn't updated the site when I said that. He just did it and you can find it now.

I'm having trouble viewing the new site on my Playstation Vita, the old one ran perfectly. I like the site updates, but I use this site way more on my Vita(glorious OLED) than my PC(slightly less glorious IPS).

At first it had me accept the terms of service quite a few times(I was worried my account was being banned for some reason I wasn't aware of), but now it just says "Something broke" and below that "Return to index". I'm not sure I'm helping at all, just felt I should bring this issue to light.

Hrm... After clicking Edit, it had been very expedient to automatically be "in" the tags box,

Wasn't that one of the userscript features, and not one of Danbooru 1 itself?
In any case, you can press the "E" key when on a post page to be instantly brought to the beginning of the tags box.

Regarding the new site/layout... As a normal user who browses the site looking for new good pictures everyday to favorite and occasionally uploading something myself I don't like it very much as of now.

Right now the only thing I like:
- The tag seperation - but that wasn't really necessary because of the different tag colors that were present before, too

The things I don't like in its current state:
- The new "profiles"... I can't see my newest subs anymore; I have to check every group manually. In the old version I was able to see the newest ones of every group on a single page.
- My favorites get scrambled randomly when I click the "next" button instead of taking me to page 2 and so on like it used to do - the pagenumber in the url just becomes a random mess and you have to manually insert "2", "3", etc every time if you want to check these pages
- Pools aren't accessable directly anymore.
- Half my screen is just plain white on every page because everything is pushed to the left. Why?

I don't know what benefits the new site may bring for some of you and I'm sure there are some and all, but for me as a normal user this really is a HUUUUGE step backwards in nearly every aspect compared to the old version (which was perfectly fine imo). I also miss the old home/intro-page with the little sprites telling me how many posts there are. :<

Just my opinon on the whole thing. =)

I think this was just fixed. The URL will still look like random numbers, but it will actually work.

What do you mean? Pools are still accessible.
There are still some problems like using pool:x for adding a post to a pool doesn't work, but nothing huge.

And if you come back here in a week all these issues will probably be fixed.

I did. Well, maybe it works now. I'll restart the broser...
