Tags should be color-coded in the add tag dropdown, too. I just created and then had to clean up a mess of EqG tags I accidentally added when assuming β€œshake your tail” was the tag for tail shaking.

But, it’s just one of many things that the huge script does, and it relies on having a separate cache of categorized tags (which was last updated just under 2 months ago at the time of this post) which may or may not mean it’s something you want to use.
More to the point, part of wanting that feature is hoping it would help other people use the site better, such as by helping people notice in the cases where a tag is a character’s name instead of just what the words say (eg. β€œcheese sandwich” is not the tag for a food item.)

Do polls show you which options you voted for once they close, or do they only highlight the winning option? This should be clarified in the UI.

Any chance color-coded tags can be color coded while in the adding/removing menus, especially when on the upload page? I’ve missed obvious tags simply because I forgot species or artist multiple times and the color tags would make that easier for my eyes to catch. Rating throws an error so that’s impossible to miss.

Al I can really safely say is that filters are an incredibly complex subject.
See also: the convo currently in the Site Bugs Thread.
Perhaps there should be a unifying filters mega thread instead of splitting the conversation in two places?

I actually meant to say my complex watchlist in my first post, not filter. Still, the complex filter does seem like it could mess with the random image function in much the same way.
Though the random issue seems to be fixed, I got >>2993271, >>242127, >>161990, and >>181807 when using the random image function.

Al I can really safely say is that filters are an incredibly complex subject. Some of it happens on the server, it seems that some of it happens also on the client, and when you add the complexity of variances between client behaviors and the fact that some complex filters are basically their own coding domains, then I feel safe saying that sometimes getting the same result multiple times when hitting β€œrandom” is, in truth, also a random result.
When you consider the complexity of the possible outcomes, a universe where everyone sings their emotions becomes plausible. Even if that includes Klingons singing K-pop with full choreography.

2LDR: If you are searching for something in β€˜comments’, and there’s a hit and only one tag on the image is hidden, then the comment doesn’t show up. But if you search for the same thing in β€˜comments’ and the image has a complex set of spoilered and hidden tags, then the results are less deterministic. The result might be hidden, might be spoilered.
This is not a bug, but more related to the order of operation, and your personal filters and filter behavior settings.
@Wiimeiser
Interesting, I’ll try that when I have a chance. I don’t ever use the random, myself.

It can get odd. I found an example earlier of interactions between filters and searches that … well, when you have a complex set of hides and finds, it gets wibbly wobbly. I’ll see if I can find the example - I think I logged in the bug reporting thread.

@saby
Which has priority when it comes to display/don’t display, Spoiler or Hide? As in, if you have artist:alpha spoilered and artist:beta hidden and they both take part in a collab, does it appear with a [Tag Hidden] Celestia thumbnail or does it not show up at all? If you’re watching tag A and have tag B hidden, does an image with both appear like a normal watched-tag image but with a Celestia thumbnail, or does it not show up at all?

@The Smiling Pony
It’s an ergonomic issue. A concrete use would be, for example, if you generally dislike anthro but occasionally discover artists who draw it with consistently good aesthetics. It would be a hassle to update complex filters for every such artist you discover (especially if an artist changes to match mainstream tastes and you need to remove them from the exceptions list). Much easier to manage it via a popover on their tag.
This is also a workaround for my:faves and my:upvotes not working in complex filters.

extra fun at parties
@The Smiling Pony
The functionality of not having to manually maintain literally every filtered/spoiled tag as a complex entry with exeptions for whatever tags you want to always see no matter what.
It’s enough of a pain to maintain a single complex filter line for artist tags to prevent community collabs from being hidden, and that’s just one tag I’m trying to make β€˜immune’ to my filter.

Always-visible tags

Add a fourth option to the β€œwatch, spoiler, hide” menu for tags whose images you always wish to see, even if other tags say no.

Example

You set mane brushing to be always shown.
Even though you’re an old school HF who put a spoiler tag on alicorn Twilight Sparkle images, if her mane is being brushed, those images will be displayed plainly.
Since this is the same you from the example I just posted in the bugs thread, you also hate the sight of that sun goddess and have hidden the Celestia tag. However, an image of Celestia brushing Princess Twilight’s mane would display as a spoilered image listing Princess Celestia, Twilight Sparkle (princess), mane brushing. The tag list on the spoiler would list all hidden, spoiled, and always-available tags, in that order.

TBD

  • Find a one word name for these tags (because watch, spoiler, and hide are all single words)
  • I imagine this functionality primarily applying to filters. Does it have any relevance to the watch list?

I could suggest a thing? What do you think of a specific function to find images with very few tags (Below 10 tags for example)
Because the community itself could use this function to put more appropriate Tags for images that have very few ways to be found. It would be interesting or meh?
Handy :)

Display the image ID somewhere on the page.
Why? Easier to copy/paste than using the URL bar, especially for phone posters.
Would be nice but probably a bad idea: display image IDs on gallery views (would be too cluttered)

@Blissful690
Already tried it before posting. Nothing happened. The filter engine seems to treat it as a normal tag, which of course does not exist.

Default search

If you do not specify a field to search over, the search engine will search for posts with a body that is similar to the query's word stems. For example, posts containing the words winged humanization, wings, and spread wings would all be found by a search for wing, but sewing would not be.
