Site Development Notification and Feedback Thread

Been waiting for a long time for this, would be cool when it’s implemented.

Please take this discussion anywhere else than this thread. This thread is about site development (essentially, programming), not about why an image was deleted.
 
Make a new thread in Site and Policy or Uploader Discussion, if no other thread can be found. Not here.

@JP
 
Ah. Didn’t notice. Just seen his reply and responded to it. I wasn’t going any farther with it anyway though.

Just out of curiosity. Did the site recently implement a 30 second post limit system?

@ЅℰℒᎯℙℋℐℰℒ  
Yes, due to spam.

Dem gore luncheon meats…

After seven months of limping along with an ever-so-slightly-broken authentication system, I ripped the whole thing out and replaced it with the official solution sponsored the Phoenix developers.
 
Whenever it is merged and deployed (which I expect is probably in the next few days), everyone will be logged out, because the old session database is being removed. If you would like, you can also clear your cookies for the site when logged out, but this isn’t required.
 
You will then be able to proceed to sign in again as normal. The only change is that now, if you click the box to have your session be remembered, you shouldn’t end up being frequently and infuriatingly logged out anymore.

Deleted image pages will now show the tags, like they used to with the old code. This should help people with remembering on visiting an image link what exactly was deleted, and help explain deletions.

@Princess Luna  
Oh, good.

What about upping the max number of results per page?

@reversalmushroom  
Incredibly easy to abuse to DDoS the site

@Princess Celestia  
Oh. That’s unfortunate.  
EDIT: I had meant for individual users. Because each person has the option of how many they wanna see.

duration: search is inconsistent. Some jpegs and other static images have duration of more than one second, which doesn’t make sense. For example, image >>751434 have duration of 5 seconds: https://derpibooru.org/api/v1/json/images/751434 .

@Background Pony #5126  
That would be because it’s actually a single-frame GIF, from way back when MIME types were never checked or validated to match the extension.
 
Input \#0, gif, from '751434.jpg': Duration: N/A, bitrate: N/A Stream \#0:0: Video: gif, bgra, 500x514, 0.20 tbr, 100 tbn, 100 tbc

Could the ban history and statistics please be put back at the bottom?

I think we should bring back notifications about images being merged or deleted.
 
Also in settings we should have an option to display how many uploads, favourites, comments we want to have in profile page.

Is there something going on with adding items in the commissions section? I’ve been trying to add some items but it gives me an error page.

@Kennzeichen  
It’s a bug that it shows an error page, but it means you had an error in one of the fields you entered. Check to make sure that the base price is valid and that the short description isn’t blank.
 
I fixed this upstream.

“Image orig sha512 hash has already been taken” is not a useful error message for uploaders. It would be better if the error message more plainly stated that the image has already been uploaded and provided a link to said image.
 
The error message also makes it impossible to reupload images when necessary, like when you accidentally upload a smaller resolution because Deviantart is poorly designed.

Thank you for your continuing efforts at making the site software better.
 
Before Philomena, I hadn’t heard about Elixir and Phoenix. Just weeks ago, I suggested them at work when we were discussing about rewriting our aging REST server backend. No one else in the team had heard about Elixir either, but now we’re seriously considering it. One of the choices we had was JavaScript, but fortunately sanity prevailed and we threw that choice out.
