Roflcakes: I notice the tags are sorted by alphabetical order now... To be honest, I think it made more sense to sort them by the number of entries, plus it was a lot more uniform.
traffik: @Roflcakes: Agreed. Anyone who wanted to see the tags in alphabetical order could already do so by looking at the Tag field underneath the pic.
traffik: MODS: Listing the tags in order of popularity made it a lot easier to find and change invalid tags and mistags, because they would always show up at the bottom with a low number next to them. Now, they'll just get lost in the middle of the list and may go unnoticed for long periods of time. Please reconsider this change.
jubilation_t_cornpone: Actually, the admins had nothing to do with it. The developer made the change. We were just as surprised as you, and don't know why he did it.
fishmonger: @Roflcakes: I actually prefer them in alphabetical order, personally. It appears that I'm the minority here though, in more than one way, as I don't care for pony porn either. Only reason I ever get to these pictures is because I click on comments to see what people are talking about.
Not that there's anything wrong with the art, it's just not my thing, that's all.
jubilation_t_cornpone: @traffik: One counterpoint to that: unlike the tag list on the left, you can't see the tags in the edit box all at once. You have to scroll it horizontally. I think there is a key sequence to display the whole box (though I don't remember what it is), but in any case that is an extra action.
traffik: @jubilation_t_cornpone: That's true, but it's not that difficult to scroll through for a hypothetical person who really cares enough to see them listed alphabetically. I've given a valid and practical advantage of having them listed the way they used to be. But from what you said in your first comment, it may be out of your hands. Which would be a shame, because as it was, there weren't that many users who went through the trouble of really trying to maintain proper tagging. That's only going to decrease if it becomes more difficult to do.
fishmonger: @traffik: How is displaying the list alphabetically going to make proper tagging any more difficult? It should make things easier to find. Which is easier if trying to tag a character: "Hmm, is Character_X tagged already? I have no idea how many images she's tagged in, so I have to look through the whole list." or "Hmm, is Character_X tagged already? I can easily look at the beginning area of the tags, where 'C' would be and see at a glance if she's tagged or not."
traffik: @fishmonger: I already said how. The way things used to be, improper/invalid tagging stood out like a sore thumb because it was always at the bottom of the list. If you were paying attention, you saw it instantly.
jubilation_t_cornpone: The control panel appears to have a way of specifying tag order for popular and related tags. Perhaps we could suggest he make it selectable for image tags too.
jubilation_t_cornpone: Apparently, I misread the control panel. It is a selectable option. We don't know how it got changed, but it has been changed back.
jubilation_t_cornpone: No prob. As an admin and uploader, I depend on the "low hit count for a well known character is probably a fuckup" thing too. :-)
