I appreciate that if this feature has been rarely used by the rest of the sites visitors, then the current change likely doesn't bother many people, but if possible, could an option be added (maybe under settings?) to revert the 'download original' button to it's previous usage? If not then I'll look into a work around for using the site on mobile. Thanks for your continued efforts maintaining the site.

While some users asked for the way it worked to be changed it wasn't done for them.
It was done because of technical reasons. To allow h@h clients to serve the images via the HC ranges. You can see as much in the URL when it opens in a new tab.

Here's 10b saying as much.

I'm trying to download the originals of some images, but the site periodically gives an error and does not allow me to download it.

Can you share the error you are getting?

None. It just says there is no access to the site.

I'm trying to download the originals of some images, but the site periodically gives an error and does not allow me to download it.

You know, that reminds me. I see this a bit too. Extremely infrequently, but sometimes attempting to download the original image gives me arbitrary error messages (500, 401, or sometimes just never responding to the request, etc). Say, I'll download p123 fine, p124 will give me an error, p125 will work fine, a retry of p124 will fail identically, etc.

Can't really reproduce it on-demand or share any links, because it solves itself after a while. I'll see it happening, go "oh it's that again", toss it into a bookmark and move on. And then come back an hour later and it will work instantly on the first try. Delete bookmark and go on with my life.

The site switched to serving some originals via H@H somewhat recently, right? If memory serves? I feel like that's what's going on here. Sometimes the H@H servers don't work right (for whatever reason), and the image load fails. That's just kinda how it works - the price paid for outsourcing to the H@H network, and it's understandable.

For resized images, we've always had the "reload broken image" button for cases when a particular H@H server wasn't working right. But there never was an equivalent for originals, since they were served directly from EH, right? Which presumably had high enough uptime/reliability to not need it. Now though, since originals may be served from H@H, you're dependent on their reliability (or lack thereof) there too - and there's no equivalent "reload broken image" for when it fails.. You're just kinda stuck with that one single link, and if it doesn't work, then sucks to be you.

...I mean, it's probably not exactly the highest priority issue. The site kind of discourages using originals via that button anyway, it solves itself after a while, and you could always just download the archive proper. Or torrent. But it's worth noting I guess. Hopefully there's some way to allow users to fall back to the main servers upon H@H failure (preferably in some way that doesn't get abused, as I assume moving it to H@H was done to reduce these kinds of downloads on the main servers anyway.)

What can we expect to get from "Site Status"?
The main site, thumbnail server(?), forums(?), upload server(?), ehtracker(?), archiver(?), image server(?), HV(?)

Something like that, but it doesn't identify the actual type of server in all cases. I'll split up the server type categorization a bit when I get around to it, but if a H@H backend server or EHTracker server is down, right now it'll just say that an "auxiliary server" is down.

If the forum database is down or the main site is in failover, the site status on the news page won't work at all right now, but it should be obvious enough in those cases that something is wrong.

Edit: I did some more low-hanging fruits work on this, so the news page (including the system status) will now work when the site is in failover, and it should be more specific when identifying servers that may be having issues.

Red torrent dates on dark-grey hit my eyes really hard...

太酷了

Frequent or consistent misrepresentations of machine translations and translations by novice translators as "by a proficient human translator" may affect your ability to toggle this box in the future.)

- Is this automatic or will uploaders be manually flagged? What is the threshold?
- Does this only apply going forward, or will people with too many rough TLs retroactively lose this toggle as well?

Case-by-case. I think it only makes sense moving forward unless there are time travellers among us.

Seems like there has been a significant uptick in non-English galleries with "rough translation" tag from peeps who don't understand the additional checkbox yet.

I suppose this is especially more problematic for a lot of the Chinese power uploaders who are mainly reuploading someone else's works from the other websites.
Now that they are supposed to know if the original translators are proficient enough, there's an incentive for them to simply not tick the box for all of the galleries in the first place, lest they be held liable and losing the privilege.
I fear that this might reduce the accuracy and usefulness of "rough translation" tag since there may be a lot of galleries with decent enough translation under it.

We can't have it both ways, but if they don't know who translated it, changes are good the tag is valid anyway.

- A number of changes have been applied to the forum database that should prevent it from crashing and burning the second we hit 8388608 registered members. Let me know if you spot any issues after this. (Especially people registering after we hit this number.)

Looks like my karma imbue power dropped from 4725 four days ago to 2235 today?

It wouldn't have been able to access your forum stats if it happened to refresh your karma record during the 15 minutes or so the forum database was down, meaning it would not apply the relevant bonuses, but that should fix itself after 24 hours at most.

- You now need 2 MP to start a tag vote or downvote a tag, and 5 MP to start a rename petition.

question what is mp and how do i get it?

Note that we have deployed new archive and L2 image servers, which will gradually be phased in over the next few weeks. Let me know if you encounter any issues with these.

Edit: Also moved EHTracker to the new servers.

Galleries has now been migrated to a new web cluster.

As part of this, the old legacy core library it was using was also swapped for a rewritten one that has been used on other parts of the site for some time. This is basically like swapping the chassis of a car, so there's a good chance some things are subtly broken after this - let me know if you spot anything amiss.
