[X] My Assistant

The removal of page numbers is a horrible idea. I understand that it might be better for the engine in terms of performance, but that doesn't change how fucking stupid the idea is in general.
If I want to find a gallery and look at the ones below it in the order. I would have to remember the GID of the gallery, If I take a break from the site for 2 weeks, and then come back. How the fuck will I remember what the GID is.
Maybe I'm searching one tag for new galleries that have it. I go through 8 pages and have decided that I have had enough for one day and leave. Why the fuck would I go into the last gallery on that page and record its GID on a fucking note and then remember, "Oh, I just need to pull up my notepad, grab the specific ID I used last, as well as remember that it's this specific string of numbers for the GID I left my search on, and not this GID for a gallery I want to remember". Why are you asking the users to do more work in order to accomplish the same thing that was possible with the old system. It is an absolute travesty of an update.
I hope that you reconsider rolling it out for everyone and run it as an opt in beta program. If you dont think it will get enough testers, maybe offer a small amount of hath for the beta users that gave the most feedback. That should incentivize things.

Overall, I think you have made a major error. I hope you roll it back and take a long look at the update planned and either rework it or just not update it in the first place.

Though from what I have read, you will most likely ignore your users and say that its fine as is, even though pretty much everyone hates it because of this minor problem in something that overall is an improvement.

So in the end, you will most likely lose a few users that actually give you money or host H@H, making you problems in the long run.

It's understandable if it could ease the heavy burden of server. Though I have to say it take times to get used to new search system.

And jumping by gid is certainly not feasible in practice. So honstly I dont think it's an improvement as a viewer. Anyway, stability of server are obvioustly more important.

Is is possible that bring back page number search in my favorite? Now it's pretty hard that find certain works in my facorite under new search system. I could not remember key tags of all works, only their vague page range.

With this new system to get (visible OR expunged OR low powered) I have to run 4 querries. They all return different sets:
(expunged==false && low powered==false)
(expunged==true && low powered==false)
(expunged==false && low powered==true)
(expunged==true && low powered==true)

Index size.

would the old expunged/low-power work if search just run individually on those index and join the result together? For example:
visible, next=X, limit 6, result: A B C D E F
expunged, next=X, limit 6, result: 1 2 3 4 5 6
low powered, next=X, limit 6, result: !@#$%^
expunged && low powered, next=X, limit 6, result: 一 二 三 四 五 六
smashed together, limit 6, result: A1!一B2, next page shall be next=2

The removal of page numbers is a horrible idea.

I think it's possible if we do page number guesstimate? For example if the lastest GID is 2.000.000 and you have 100 galleries per page then page 50 would start with GID of 2.000.000 - 50*100 = 1.995.000 ? Then if the last gallery shown on this view is GID 1.990.000 it'd say "page 50-55". Since page number is derived for the purpose of display only, maybe done client-side even, it shouldnt cause much load.

Really no user friendly this update.
How do i look for expunged galleries in my favorites?

If pages were removed to lower server load, has it been considered that people will be rapid clicking through 20+ pages now?

It probably has been considered, this seems like an update to the way indexing and searching the index was undertaken. It's essentially 0 load to click "next" (or next page). I would guess, the actual load comes from creating the paged indexes; which removing the pages accomplishes since now you don't have to worry about how many pages are needed for a given indexed search, they just display "endlessly" and show new results from the previously indexed search when clicking next (again, all supposition).

Also a lot of complaining for a site that gives you free, hard to find porn (depending obviously).

You have broken the API for my EH browser app. Good job.

Well...I want an simply answere at this Questions:

If it is so wonderfull, why wen don't have it here in the forum...why we have here the sidenumber-system.
Why we don't have it inside a Gallery...why we have there the Number-system?

Why on hell is E- and Ex the only one with this system for searching?

Because it is not good will be my answere...because it is to laborious and need to long for a quick and simple search.

If pages were removed to lower server load, has it been considered that people will be rapid clicking through 20+ pages now?

Nope, people are just going to have to build up Carpal Tunnel Syndrome from practically DDOS'ing the site because Tenboro couldn't be bothered to think ahead. But at least server performance is better!

I've always had a habit of saving and downloading anything I come across on the web that I like, and making backups on multiple hard drives at the same time, so I can all find historical files the way I'm used to.
It is important to save your favorite resources on your own computer, otherwise it may be difficult for you to even find him one day. Like this change in search method, I was flabbergasted at the loss of pages, especially on the favorites page, where I couldn't find a particular piece I had previously favorited at all, which would have been a disaster if I hadn't saved it in my computer.
It is important to save your favorite works and store them on your computer or NAS，It is recommended that everyone do the same
If possible, still hope that the administrator will bring back the page, or at least keep the page of the Favorites.

Thanks
The above are from the translation, My English is very bad.

I just realized, if I search for a common tag, and 68000 galleries showed up, and all these galleries were uploaded among other galleries that don't have the tag.
HOW THE FUCK WOULD I EVEN USE THE GID SYSTEM???
LIKE THE FUCKING NUMBERS WOULD BE OUT OF ORDER IN THE FIRST PLACE. LIKE I HAVE TO RANDOMLY GUESS A SEVEN DIGIT CODE TO FIND THE 37TH PAGE OF THIS LIST AND IF I GET THE CODE WRONG I JUST GET PLACED RANDOMLY IN THIS FUCKING MESS OF TENS OF THOUSANDS OF IMAGES. WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT.

My use of the page selector is:

-Select a tag I'm interested
-Put some random page
-See if there is anything that catch my eye or read it already and wanna read it again

Is there a way to add something akin to a random page button? If not, is there a way to do that with the current system?

Thx

Why does this update need to also effect my favorites? Let me have pages for my favorites.

With this new system to get (visible OR expunged OR low powered) I have to run 4 querries.

And that's only for just one tag.

i want it back

Please bring back page numbers. The site was fine before but now it's impossible to browse through anything beyond the first few pages.

This update is really bad. Not only removed the page numbers, but also destroyed the thumbnails(some galleries seem to be fixed now but not all of them). Previously if you temporarily disabled your tag filter, it would mark those galleries with any tag you blacklisted with a red tag, not that is gone too.

Sorry, not gonna read 15 pages of comments to see if someone already suggested it, but...

Can we get the GID range of the page we are at in the place where the old page number used to be?

For example: the first gallery in this page is 2366653 and the last is 2366596, so it shows the GID range as 2366596 - 2366653.

So....why we couldn't just go ajax here?

I am another poster posting to request pages back.
I very much used the ability to see approximately how many results a search resulted in, where I was in a search, along with the ability to jump to, say, a half or third or the last quarter of a search or my favorites list in my every day use of the site. GIDs don't replicate any of this, to the best of my knowledge.

Just wanted to say removing page numbers sucks donkey ass.
