Change log for Danbooru 1.17.0

Posted under General

- Bug with dmail notice not showing up has been fixed (also for ban notices)
- You now need a privileged account to vote. Scores for all previous posts have been reset to the favorite count from privileged users.
- Users now have individual favorite tags. You can have Danbooru try and calculate these automatically for you (based on your favorites) but it's a free form text field you can edit.
- Tag auto-complete is now enabled on post/upload and post/show. You can disable it by going to your user settings. The list is based on your favorite tags and recent tags listing.
- As a side effect of the above hitting return in the tag box will no longer submit the form. However on most browsers you can hit CTRL+S to submit it.

::blinks:: Was losing all regular +/- non-fav votes ever cast on every post unavoidable? In the end I guess it doesn't matter, insofar as scores don't matter a lot in general. But it seems like an exceptionally severe response to what was a rather minor and contained "problem".

Going forward this could have some definite upsides, in my opinion. But the retroactive effect is pretty brutal.

In my experience, it added the line break while submitting.

Also: While brutal, at least my abandoned account (which could still submit images, haha!) no longer effects vote counts. If undone, would all the non-priveleged votes reapply, or are they lost to the scattered digi-winds?

Bug: you can no longer submit tag changes with enter, it adds a line break now. Probably an artifact of auto-complete.

...?

Keeping them meant comparing scores between old and new posts was meaningless. If this new system turns out not to work so well as a last resort I can restore the old scores from a backup.

On a sidenote, I think the general quality of the popular pages has gone up.

I agree with the initial logic, but the difference is that only new posts and posts very recently made are ever really going to get regular +/- votes from here on out. So they're still not actually going on an equal footing, and new posts have a huge advantage. Old posts can't compete, with many being dropped to 0 by this.

That said, I don't think you need to roll the change back or anything. It'll be fine. It was just very drastic and surprising. I always found scores to be meaningless for Explicit posts, but for Questionable and Safe they were fairly useful for bringing up the good posts. I'll probably just have a bit less use for ordering by score now.

Edit:

Yeah, I think this should be one of the advantages going forward.

BUG (lagged out a bit, maybe jxh typing too furiously?):
Faved post #440270, and I think it went to 1 (wasn't fully paying attention, and may have been the "Remove from favorites" motion); removed it, and it jumped to -1! Added a removed it a bit, and it would fluctuate between those two, skipping zero either way.

shift+tab, enter works if your browser doesn't support ctrl+s for those few of you who read this thread, care, and have a browser that fails this.

Unfortunately ctrl+s tries to save the page. I can't submit from the text box without clicking the button anymore. That's going to hurt, though I'll just work around it I guess.

I think he means ALT+S. It's an old function that most forums use to submit posts. It doesn't work on Firefox 2.0 or higher however because it's defaulted to bring down the History drop-down menu. It would work on Google Chrome, I believe.

EDIT: Nevermind. That doesn't work for Chrome either.
