Posts can now have parents. Simply enter the parent post's id number in the field.
Posts that have an associated parent won't appear in the main listing. But as soon as you do any kind of tag search, they'll appear again. This will let you upload several pages of a manga or a doujinshi or a bunch of similar looking game CGs without cluttering up the main page. You could probably use this to hide dupes also.
Note that this hierarchy is only one level deep. A parent can have children but no grandchildren, and a child can have a parent but no grandparents.
I set post #145821 as child to post #145820 to test this (and also because it's just an incomplete edit of the latter) but when I do a search on the 'tv' tag all three still show in the list.

That's a feature and not a bug according to the first post. It'll be hidden in the main listing but displayed in tag searches.

Right, I missed the searches part. Hmm. Guess it only makes sense to parent dupes if they're dupes of something brand new, and if it's something brand new normally it'd just be deleted. So I guess I won't use parents on dupes of older images.

Does this mean we're now allowed to upload them, giving that we're using the parent-feature? :D
The logical conclusion would be yes. The reason why doujins were disallowed was that they'd result in a huge flood that pushed everything out of the listing page, and parent feature is designed to fix exactly that.
Are parent posts marked at all on the main listing before they're clicked? Something that draws _some_ interest might be worth looking at if it's hiding other similar posts even if I don't care about that image itself. Like a border or something, but not one of the two borders we already have.

This can be very tricky since you would have to know the post id of the parent, but you can't see that until the post has actually been approved by a moderator (unless you're privileged, of course). And if the parent image is non-safe, then you won't be able to see the id at all.
As a result privileged members would have to do some of the grunt work for you and I'm not sure if everyone is OK with that, especially if the images are not that good...
I have a few requests in regards to this system:
- a way to add the parent to a child via tagscripting. I tried 'post:#' and 'parent:#' on a post, but they only added tags, so I assume this hasn't been implemented.
- a border around the parent would also be good since some parents may look less interesting than their children. Preferably something light, to differentiate them from the more aggressively colored blue and red warnings.
Edit: Oh, the latter is done already. Edit-2: Beaten twice, I guess.

So, basically only "Privileged" members can upload Doujshins or multiple-pictured sequenses? Is there any way to let Members see the Parent-ID of a post WITHOUT letting him see the actual picture?
albert, it seems that child posts no longer have a parent link included in their info box? Is that intentional? It seems logical to link both from parent to children and the other way around (even if technically it results in the same query being made)
I have encountered a lot of postings recently - like the one below - that are marked as parents but when I click the child post link the only thumbnail I get is the image I came from. post #147708
Are the child posts rated not Safe? Or is there some other function people are using this feature for that I don't understand?

a really nice and usefull function, will have a good use for it :)
Extremely handy especially in uploading similar CGs by the same artists! I felt awkward about flooding Kagami works, even if they are pretty; this makes me feel like less of a spammer.
I noticed if you add parent with tag script, the parent didn't get green border right away, and there was no child link in parent post. But after editing one of the children without changing anything, the parent shows as a parent.
