I accidentally pressed, "always show original images". How to get them back? They are much more useful for browsing, when having bad internet speed.

Cool, thanks, might want to put in FAQ, or not... your choice ^^

On that note, there's probably a lot of things we should add into the FAQ.

We could use a real FAQ.

At all.

Excuse me while I borrow this space for a while. (Work in progress) Yes, I'm adding ideas from other users too.

How to edit tags forum #9
Reporting posts forum #28
Rss feed= possible
anonymous image hosting = sadpanda.us
Anime names = in Japanese
Character names = Sirname_givenname unless western.
Geltas: "Our system rejects any picture that contains ANY html, or are classified as a non-image (don't ask how its done)"
I still get the the "hacking attempt" message. Just open the image in any image editing program, CTRL+A to select all then CTRL+C, new document, CTRL-V, save. CTRL+C shouldn't copy the extra data.
Where is this from? Try SauseNao, iqdb.org, TinEye. See also: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/image-search-options/
lozertuser: "If you find a bug, please report it using our tracker. Do not exploit it over and over hoping we will notice."
Why must everything stick to japan? loozertuser: "Because that is what this *booru is for."
Color a tag? gelbooru.com/index.php?page=help&topic=post
Touhou? touhouwiki.net
Does gelbooru have API support? Yes.
Tags with same meaning? lozertuser: "As long as they are images that are Japanese in theme, use the tags that have a higher tag count."
gelbooru.com/index.php?page=help&topic=cheatsheet This is not fully supported/severely outdated.
I posted some Pics and gifs, but they all were deleted and i wonder why? Did your images follow all these rules? gelbooru.com/tos.php
Manga? Doujin? thedoujin.com/
Profile? Not supported yet.
Avatar? User avatars are JPG only; trying to upload anything else will silently fail.
Alias? Still a bit faulty, don't rely on this.
size limit? "No resolution limit that I am aware of. Just try to keep the KB size decent."
Features? Bugs? gelbooru.com/index.php?page=tracker&s=list
The site does not display the pictures "toddlercon"/"Lolicon"! Click gelbooru.com/index.php?page=account&s=options For post threshold, put in -1000. Problem solved.
Parent/child image links? No longer supported. You may use a pool if you wish.
I'm looking for this one pic. Good luck.
Who are the admins/mods? A.K.A Who the fuck keeps deleting my pic? Admin= lozertuser, geltas, Deusexcalamus. Mods = grgspunk, Xiombarg, biibii801, Xalrun, lhixl90, internetlovemachine, Yavie, hentaiprovisions, th8827, jedi1357, F_JUNK_DUMP, ShadowbladeEdge, BlueBaroness, hopewithinchaos, elemental_guy, Jerl.
do we have a md5 search? Yes, can be 3 characters at minimum.
Why aren't there any flash games here? To be simple, it's not a supported file type.
Can I be a translator? Can you read Japanese? And can you actually write in English? Any registered user can add notes to a post, just don't abuse it.
Can I add a tag that doesn't exist? Yes. Color if appropriate. Nothing redundant (Long_red_hair) or subjective (cute).
absurdres? It's short for "absurd resolution".
This users comments/posts are totally inappropriate for this site. Report it.
This users comments/posts are not in violation of the rules but it annoys me anyway. Deal with it, you're an adult.
I'm not an adult. GTFO!
Why no screencaps? forum #219
Can I lock a post? (tagging/comments) No. If you feel a post should be locked notify an admin or mod. Give a reason.
Are you Danbooru 2.0? forum #127
I want an alias/implication. Alias system is of minimal usefulness if not handled very carefully. Mods have a mass tagger that can update existing posts but is a one-shot deal. (It will not automatically update newer tags or posts.)
Nobody here but us chickens? danbooru.me/forum/show/25169 lozertuser: "I kept the message the same [as Danbooru] because it reminded me of Scooby Doo."
Is it possible to change your username? No, it's not possible. Consider making a new account.
IRC? Yes, a shortcut is now at the top of most pages. irc://irc.rizon.net/gelbooru
Why is everything censored? Deuxsonic: "Uncensored genitalia is illegal in Japan and has been since the Meiji era. It's almost never enforced, yet nearly everyone still follows it for whatever reason." see also: forum #523.
I can't access my account. If you violate the rules or poison tags you may have been banned.
YIFF IN HELL FURFAGS! Comments are encouraged for a discussion of the image, facts/opinions/humor relating to it, fixing tags, questions, concerns, bitches, gripes, and complaints etc. Insulting other users, bashing mods and racist comments are discouraged. As an American-hosted site; users here have freedom of speech rights but please consider the appropriateness of your comments to the venue provided. Also: Gelbooru is not an accredited press publication and as such is allowed to censor/delete comments as it's staff sees fit. We are not responsible for the material you see or post on Gelbooru...you are.
"DAT ASS!!!!!!" = unnecessary. Also: source requests are likewise unnecessary as they should be tagged.
Animated PNGs don't work on Safari. Than use Firefox.
Animated PNGs don't work in Chrome. Use chrome.google.com/webstor...conegkhpodgoaeamnpckdbblp
Is there a limit to my blacklist? 4kB. Your "My Tags" and blacklist together must have fewer than 4,000 characters including spaces.
I cannot edit my settings. Try deleting your cookies and rebuilding your settings.
What's up with this tag? Chances are it came from Danbooru and we follow heavily on their tagging policies.
Can I send user:danbooru a PM? Yes but the staff might laugh at you.
Can I send user:anonymous a PM? No you silly.
Why is the thumbnail different than the the image I loaded? exif_thumbnail_surprise et.al. The artist is just fucking with you.
I think that advertisement gave me malware. Tell a mod or admin at once, provide as much detail as you can. We do not tolerate virus spreading ads.
Image count or tag count? This count includes deleted posts that have not been purged from the database. All non-deleted posts above your score threshold and not on your blacklist are displayed. Tag counts are often higher than this.
Should I ask for/give medical advice in the forums? No.
People keep voting my posts/comments down. Welcome to the world.
Is it a trap? As a rule of thumb, if you can correctly tell the gender with complete certainty from the thumbnail alone, it's not a trap. See also: gelbooru.com/index.php?page=wiki&s=view&id=227
Note poisoning? If you see abusive note adding/removing, or tag removing/adding, PM admin with the image so he can check who did it. Mods might not have access to complete note history. (This was written by a mod in training.)
Whatever happened to Xbooru? Yes, whatever is a good word to describe what happened to Xbooru. xbooru.com/
Do I have the option of viewing the original size/resized posts? Delete your cookies for this domain and you'll have the ability to see the resized samples.
Is it allowed to hotlink images from here? lozertuser: "It is. Please hotlink from img2 when possible." (2 years old, don't know if changed.)
I don't want my art here. Please let the admin know by contacting him at www.animebw.com/contact/ (Do not send these requests by PM.)
Can I request a commission? You can but you're not likely to get a response from the users at this site. Try a real artist's website (see wiki) and don't expect anything for free. Also note, paysite content is not posted here.
I would like to see more of this on Gelbooru. Post it. (Following ToS of course.)
Are there girls on Gelbooru? Yes, even in the staff...and they're watching you!
Futanari/newhalf/hermaphrodite? See our wiki. gelbooru.com/index.php?page=wiki&s=view&id=1 gelbooru.com/index.php?page=wiki&s=view&id=1190 gelbooru.com/index.php?page=wiki&s=view&id=1122
Want an image restored? There's an app for that. forum #484
Can I post advertisements on Gelbooru for free? No. (This means you Lav****.) To sponsor Gelbooru talk to lozertuser.
Can I post from Pixv artist's page? No, these are thumbnails. Post this as a source but use the full-size image from Pixiv img## database. URL should say "mode=big" if it doesn't than it is not the full-size image.
Are pictures of naked japanese girls allowed? Yes but only if adult.

I made it a third of the way through the forums and I'm Having a hard time finding more questions that are pertinent to a FAQ and even fewer "Frequently" asked questions that are not already in forum #19. I feel like giving up now.

They moved to their own hosting and domain at touhouwiki.net because of differences with the Wikia administrators, but Wikia keeps the old one open because they legally can, hoping to fragment the editor base and gain ad revenue.

Supported bbcode tags include: b i quote s spoiler en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBCode

Wiki markup:
- supported BBCode
- [[foobar]] inserts the text 'foobar' as a link to tag wiki article 'foobar'

Formatting in notes uses angle brackets instead like regular HTML. Some tags which work:
<b> </b> <i> </i>
<tn> </tn> - translator's note; formats text as small & grey.
<font size="24"> </font> - <font size="+4"> </font> doesn't currently work because the + character is stripped.

Many other HTML tags are escaped in notes and won't work.

User avatars are JPG only; trying to upload anything else will silently fail.

[edit] Testing BBCode again.
bold

[u]underline[/u]
strikethrough

[size=15]Large Text[/size]

[color=red]Red Text[/color]
[color=#FF0000]Red Text[/color]
[color=FF0000]Red Text[/color]

Not gonna go through getting the quote right, but jedi mentioned something about where is this picture from

There is a similar button that instantly IQDBs the image.

It needs to be put in a more prominent place for how useful of a feature it is.

This add-on could be in the FAQ, considering how useful it is:
addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/image-search-options/

And can you actually write in English? A lot of people forget that there are two parts of this equation.
