The mod queue being sorted into multiple pages now is an irritating change. It just makes using a feature that I honestly doubt even one-third of the current mods even bother with that much more of a hassle for those of us that do use it. I'm also not sure why the "Approve All" button still continues to exist.

Speaking of the Mod Queue, sorry if this has been mentioned, but is it just me or is there an annoying pause between cocking "Hide" and the post actually hiding? It really just slows things way the hell down for me since I like to hide everything I'm not approving as I go along the queue.

Regarding the issue with hidden favorites:

This is something people complain to me often about. I will be taking steps to hide favorites. The fav:xxx searches will still be available, but I will be adding a user setting to allow users to make this private.

Is there any way to make it to where we can still see the number of favorites, and have an option (preferably the default) to display our favorites to the public for those who want to or don't care? That would be somewhat similar to Pixiv where you can see the full number, but some of that number will be private favorites you can't see. Having favorites visible was a useful way to find popular posts, sometimes better than score (I'd like "order:favcount" available for the same reason). The way it is now, it's also harder to find users with good tastes in favorites.

1. Please bring back colour background for each mass editing mode (edit tag script, rate s/q/e, vote up/down,..). Without colour warning, it's too easy forgeting to switch back to View mode and edit posts by mistake. Or a coloured notification line on top of the page is fine too. Anything to remind tag gardeners they're mass editing.

2. In Artists page: cannot search for artists using their group/circle name (searching with secondary names is fine). Please either merge the Group field together with Other Names field, or enable searching using group name.

3. I'm confused what criteria the Artist listing is based on now. It doesn't seem to be in alphabetical order, nor recent edit, nor artist who has new a image. It'd be nice to list it based on recent edit.

4. The link to see uploads in user profile is currently "uploader:xxx" which doesn't work anymore, I have to change manually to "user:xxx" in order to have results.

5. Cannot search for pools anymore using "pool:pool_full_name".

One more thing I noticed: now that the site is case-sensitive when it comes to titles (something that trips up pools as previously noted), a whole ton of entries on the Wiki are going to have to be re-worked.

For instance,
wiki #29215
the links on this page on the old site pointed to the wiki articles under those titles - no modification needed because the linked titles were automatically treated as all all-lowercase. With Danbooru 2.0, those links instead point the user to a page to created a Wiki article at the capitalized name.

If you're running a query on the queue, have checked all 15 images in your query, and you want to approve them all it's a huge help.

Oh, after coming in today, I noticed that uploading is disabled at the moment because we know there are still bugs to be sorted out.

One thing we notice is when viewing a search query or subscriptions, we're stuck with a 5x4 or 4x5 grid on a full-screen window. But when viewing favorites, it becomes dependent on window size. In my case, it's 6 x 4 (actually 6x3 plus 2 below) on a 1366 x 768 screen. Strange!

Things of note that I've seen is colours don't seem to work in (translation)notes anymore. The pools are something I like, how they're sorted. I don't like how the new format squashes everything left instead of form-fitting to the browser like it used to. It's very awkward.

However, I'm pretty sure both of these have been noted, I'm just making sure it's up there.

I can't say this for sure but on testbooru any time something was case sensitive it was generally a bug.

Hey at least now if we reverted back later there will be more people invested in working out small changes, I hope.

Considering the lack of interest in testing I suspect it won't happen.

Can I have the old .css please, the one was at http://hijiribe.donmai.us/stylesheets/default-min.css ? I'm not liking this new look what-so-ever. Can the style be for privileged+ be how it originally was?

Just having the old CSS won't help you at all; that's not how CSS works. The elements and class names are completely different, so at best, nothing will match.

Translation Note system is gone/broken. Can't add new notes. Older pics that already had notes no longer have them; what was on them is now all smushed together in text on the bottom of the page, beneath the "Text Body" box, which is particularly horribad for manga/doujinshi pages. Please restore the original Note system ASAP.
