@Cosmas-the-Explorer
No prob~

Is the origshash512 thing broken sometimes? I’m tryna upload an image that clearly hasn’t been uploaded yet.

Which image?

@Mildgyth
Don’t think it’s uh safe to share but I know it’s not there.

If you can’t find the image, either it has been deleted or is not tagged correctly.

@Mildgyth
Might be the former. Cause the reverse image searching should work alright.

@Phoenixflambe
Can you help by giving any information at all about the artist and theme or content of the image? You can PM me if it you’d rather not publicly say.

I’m not sure if this is a bug or not, but I filled a dupe report on an image a while ago, and now it’s taking me to a whole page showing a list of different image reports made by other people.

Is this supposed to be like this?

@ichiban iceychan 1517
Duplication report queue is publicly viewable.

@Princess Celestia
Ah ok

i take it after this long downtime you guys are gonna ditch the current hosting service for the site?

@ichiban iceychan 1517
Sometime around February, yes.

What does that mean?

@Phoenixflambe
Changing server host.

@Mikey
To which and where?

@Phoenixflambe
You’d have to ask @Princess Celestia

Good to see you’re back. Did you find out how the IPMI port had been broken? Was it just disconnected?

@JP
The support team basically told us “oh yeah that happens, we’ll just pull the power plug out of your server and plug it back in” and that took them 4 hours to do. IPMI was completely unreachable, the entire BMC was down.

@Princess Celestia
That’s horrifying.

I guess this image can be used once again (like last time):

Do the comments in this image have unspoilered seizure inducing images? I’m talking especially about the Trixie gif and the Luna one where she dresses as a banana chicken. Just to make sure.

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
Nah. image is 8 years old anyway

@Mikey
I understand. Just had to make sure in case someone was curious.

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
Didn’t see a Luna banana thing. Luna in Scootaloo costume has a flash but it’s low enough frequency to not count as “seizure warning”.

Trixie has such a small area of rapid flashing that it too does not count as “seizure warning”.

@saby
Ok thanks

a question relating to badge milestones.

if a user here has multiple different artist tags linked to their profile, do all of them get get added up for artist milestone badges?

like say they had ne tag that had 70 images and another that had 30 images, would they be eligible for the the “100 images under their account” badge?
