Danbooru

Danbooru 2 testing contest

Posted under General

I experimented with my username change and get it to have multiple line (it is allowed..) and accidentally logged out. Now I can't log in since the login screen can't allow multiline username. Can I get it renamed to the original and perhaps escalate it to privilege account as well?

Thanks.

Here is your name if one was to send you mail:

Try that as your username with underscores if needed. If you still can't log in albert will have to change it database side when he sees the post.

Edit: All I said before was wrong. I just broke my own account trying to find a fix for this, but here it is.

For firefox:

Download firebug or any other addon which allows you to manipulate html.

Rightclick on the name input field and click "Inspect Element", then click on "Edit"

The text should read:
<input type="text" name="name" id="name">

Replace it with:
<textarea cols="40" maxlength="100" id="name" name="name" rows="20">Username here</textarea>

Then, just enter your username using multiple lines.

This may be a little off topic, but what was the problem with this version of Danbooru anyway? Why are we getting a new one?

Just looking at testbooru, it seems a lot less clean and less... I dunno... good looking that what we have now. Tag links seem pretty large, and the weird drop down wiki seems to throw pictures out of alignment sometimes. Sorta seems like a downgrade, no offense.

I tried it but it kept saying "Password was incorrect" even after I reset the password. I guess a backend database edit has to be done here.

It may say "Password was incorrect", but in reality, the username is incorrect.

I posted a fix that works 100% in case you didn't notice.

I know what you mean, Rengeki.

Perhaps we need some kind of orientation on what Danbooru 2 is trying to accomplish that Danbooru 1 can't. Is it the same functionality but different structure programmatically? Or is it to add features that Danbooru 1 can't add anymore due to structure constraint? With this new "unified" purpose, we can help test and suggest features that can help Danbooru 2 to be what it should be.

To be honest, if Danbooru 2 is replacing Danbooru 1 at this time, it would be a less enjoyable experience.

As albert said in forum #34926, the primary purpose for Danbooru 2 is just refactoring/optimizing, not feature addition. Honestly, I am not quite sure why the layout changed at all between the versions, and I think that pretty much all of the changes make the site uglier, but presumably albert has his reasons, and it's not so terrible that I've felt any impetus to make a stink about it.

So basically what we need to do is compare Danbooru 2 with features from Danbooru 1 and see what is missing or not working right?

For the most part yes though some things have changed between the two.

If there are any layout/style changes you find questionable, feel free to write an issue. I agree the wiki excerpt is kinda ugly and will try fixing it, but I've never been happy with its current location in the sidebar where it's not very discoverable, and can lead to formatting issues because of how narrow the column is.

I wonder if something like a flag telling the sidebar wiki where to stop rendering and a "see full" link at the bottom would work. If you're loading the wiki into the sidebar you generally don't need the full article. The touhou wiki for instance could get away with being nothing more than this in the sidebar:

"東方" (Japanese for "east")

A series of doujin vertical shooter games created by Oota Jun'ya (as ZUN), featuring a large cast of girls and almost no male characters.

maybe move the link to the list of characters then put in the invisible marker and let people who need to know the crazy amount of detail in that wiki read it by visiting it.

Are danbooru 2.0 (twobooru?) features still up for discussion? (intended new features and changes, not old or new bugs)

If so, where is the appropriate place to discuss them? The testbooru forum seems to still be a testing ground, not a place to discuss danbooru 2.0 itself.

I will really miss the next and previous buttons if testbooru becomes danbooru as it is. I've grown to rely of being able to type [>][>][enter] or [>][tab][tab][tab][enter] to get to the next page of a pool or search and will miss it greatly.
