 Ponychan Development Blog - Project MayThis is Ponychan's development blog!Here, our developers are going to drop tidbits of information as we progress further with the current project. This might include sneak peaks of what we have so far, what we're doing and what might be going through our heads! You can expect updates roughly once a day! |
 Im an old fag, and i kind of wanted to know whats going on in ponychan's controll tower.[?]troll[/?/] Like im pretty sure that that ponychans traffic has slowed down lately. Does anybody know how much? And how many mods do you have running now? Just curious. |
 Ponychan X v1 AlphaPonychan X is in the process of a rewrite. A lot of previous features are missing at this point. Asking for them gets them higher on the to-do list. This version only has the essentials. They should be done as soon as possible, though. Sorry for any inconvenience there. Hightlights: - Quick reply -- Post without reloading the page -- Queue up images and choose which to post with -- Automatically dump queued up images with no user interaction -- Shows image upload percent -- Shows image thumbnail previews -- File size warning before wasting time uploading - Filter -- Names -- Tripcodes -- Subjects -- Emails - Thread Updater - Post Links - Inline Replies - Backlinks - Tab title information -- New post unread counter -- Thread board and subject -- Favicons for unread posts or a 404'd thread - Animate gif thumbnails - Show spoilered images - Keybinds -- Spoiler tags -- Bold tags -- Italic tags -- Underline tags -- Strikethrough tags -- Toggle quick reply -- Mark thread a … |
 It's not really that big of a deal, and I'm not sure if anypony else has mentioned it yet, but the "Powered by Kusaba X" link down at the bottom of the page leads to an unclaimed domain pagefiller.Again, not really that important, just thought you guys should know. |
Rem.Can we have this be an actual theme? I like it. |
 So why can't you access the site's first link on google and shouldn't forbidden sites not appear on the seach results? |
 Why is a post that breaks the rules still on chat?http://www.ponychan.net/chan/chat/res/40741128+50.htmlThat image on the top for everypony to see, it's self-mutilation. I'm wondering why the person who created this thread hasn't been banned, it says they should be according the rules. Last edited at Mon, May 13th, 2013 19:01 |
 Dear mods,"WahaHA!" is also used as an insult, not just a sexual term, and is therefore useful in roleplay. Case in point capped and posted here. Therefore, I'd like to ask that the WahaHA! filter be removed from /rp/. Thanks! |
None$passI receive this error message when I try to upload a picture on /chat/. What does this mean? It seems I cannot load pictures anywhere. |
 So..http://www.ponychan.net/chan/chat/res/40737628.htmlRape jokes are okay on Ponychan? Guess it won't be long before we're the new /b/. |
 Trouble with the settings pageSo my power went out a few times yesterday, and now I'm having trouble with the settings page.My internet settings have been wiped and now, any time I try to save my settings, they end up resetting. I tried restarting my browser, disabling/enabling some settings, things like that, but nothing seems to work. I tried a different browser, and that works with some settings, but not all. The settings page used to work for me, but I don't know what happened to make it not work now. Any ideas? |
 So... What words are banned here? Im new. >Pic unrelated |
 Is there a reason why even when you click "Don't show me again", that annoying warning that you clicked on a link while leaving still always pops up? Is it just for that one link and not all future ones? |
 Problem (Or is it?) With the 'You Are Now Leaving P-Chan' MessagI'm using Chrome, btw, if that's at all relevant.Trying to open a posted link here on ponychan via a new tab (which I do often since I don't like having to press back to return to ponychan) simply brings up a blank page. My browser also clears cookies/cache everytime it's closed, so me checking the 'do-not-show-this-message-again box isn't an adequate alternative for me. A minor problem, but presenting it anyway. |
 Dearest !!SweetieBellePls use Sweetie Belle in your mod posts. If you do not do this I will have to spread horrible rumours about you pooping I have pictures to back this up, it is not an idle threat |

 Just look at the time!And there's a little problem12h clock annoys me When I have 12h clock unchecked in settings it still gives me 12h formatting instead of 24h |
 External link changesWe've implemented a couple of changes to the way that external links work, to give you more options in how you format external links and to help you avoid any surprises which might come as a result.You can now use the [url] tag to create external links with custom link text. Quotes around the address are optional. [url=http://www.hasbro.com]Hasbro[/url] [url="http://www.hasbro.com"]Hasbro[/url] Hasbro [www.hasbro.com] You'll also find that external links will take you to a warning page, which we've added because links now don't necessarily show you where they're going. As noted on that page, we can't guarantee the content of external sites, although we do try to ensure that links here don't immediately lead to NSFW content (i.e. there is no change in our linking policy as a result). If you would prefer not to see the warning page, you can disable it with the "don't show this again" checkbox, and the host name of … |
 Hi everypony! It's the 1st of May, so we're sure some of you have noticed that little card which has taken occupation of the 'Doing' section of our Trello called 'Project May' for the past couple of weeks, and we think it's time to reveal what we've been cooking up for all of you!We appreciate and deeply love our culture, that of an imageboard, and we would never do anything that might compromise it. However, we understand that some people are here just to talk with friends and desire an easy way to access them, or perhaps they're immigrants from other types of bulletin boards and want to feel a little more at home. However, we've found a way to be able to offer this very optional system to the people who want it, without in any way changing the experience of people who prefer Ponychan as it is! Project May is really our toughest and largest project yet: User Profiling! This will offer you the ability to send private messag … |
 now that you've hired new mods, can we know who they are?You know, so I can avoid them, so nopony calls me a suckup. Gotta fuel my paranioa, come on. |
 what stop other board to dont have the adding video feature? |
 Thread necroing on /pony/For the past few weeks somepony has been pointlessly necroing random threads from weeks ago on /pony/. At first it was an anonymous "nice post" or something like that, and lately they've taken to just deleting their post for a bump. It's not the biggest problem, but it's kind of a pain when coupled with how slow /pony/ is between seasons. I'm not really sure what, if anything, should be done about this, but it kind of irks me that somepony's messing with /pony/ like that... |
 BetaAnypony remember that old Beta board that used to exist that nobody ever wanted people to use because it was unstable or something?Does that still exist? |
 The Settings TabI think you broke it. All it does is bring me to the top of the page now. |
 I want to understand something 4chan posting like that happens very often and Fernomods saying its okay. Its fandom related and it must be posted in oat. http://www.ponychan.net/chan/oat/res/38370464.html#i38370464 Really, I dont like where it going. I loved oat to be about ponies. You Know. Clean. Without Dirt. Im complaining because im tired of threads like that, Reporting And Complaining In A Threads Does Nothing |
 Experimental IdeasHey /meta/, I got a bunch of experimental ideas. The whole point of making this thread is to come up with ideas that will improve ponychan's performance and userfriendliness, no matter how radical they are. Fuck imageboard taboos, man.Here are a couple of mine. But you can come up with your own as well here, or simply give your input towards mine. 1) Cascading pages. Write a script where if you scroll to the bottom of page 0, the following pages are automatically called up at the bottom of their previous page. There is a famous reddit extension called RES that does something very similar to this. 2) Since /fic/ has this unspoken rule where you can let your thread fall many pages back and still consider it an active thread, I have a suggestion for this. When your window is wide enough, (like maybe 1800px threshold) The page formats threads like a book. See mock-up: http://i.imgur.com/0R4tAfd.jpg 3) Write a few lines of javascript to randomize the front page's su … |
 We have a strange situation over at /int/ at the time of writing, possibly a political-gibberish raid. There's so much of it that a report wouldn't cover it all, so I hope that somepony will notice it here.Most of the raid posts should be fairly obvious (including impersonations and race-based nonsense), but if you're wondering what >>/int/163594 and >>/int/163597 (which is exactly the same post) says, it's a blatant rant against the Swedes. |
 Tripcode complaint.My tripcode works on /ef/, /getchan/, /mlpchan/, and fourchan, but it doesn't work here, and I know why.My trip is supposed to create !inhopeewAw... but because it has a # symbol in it, ponychan treats it as two seperate tripcodes. Is there any chance you could look into not having the chan break it into two codes? |
 Status on moderators> go to /oat/> see >>/oat/38365038 > is a troll post where a picture of a penis is in OP > press report, 'already in report list' > check time, thread is made 3 hours ago > funny bonus, my PC refuses to hide I must honestly say that it surprises me how long this blatant porn thread remains on the front page. It is not a complaint towards the current moderator staff per say, since I'm confident they try to moderate to their best intent. But it might be time to re-evaluate how many moderators can be on at what times. Because if we have a few hours without moderation at all, ponychan is really vulnerable to porn raids clogging up the site for hours. Maybe new extra moderators are needed. |
 I'm having problems opening the settings bar, And i can't unhide threads.Anypony know Why? |
NoneWe need a movie board oh and plus >best movie |
NoneHelp!www.ponychan.net/chan/chat/res/40677038+50.html Please come in and tell people to stop discussing government conspiracies, and to find a new thread for such things. It's only upsetting people. I tried to report it, but it said the thread was cleared for reporting, so I couldn't. |
 Development has just finished for the new settings page, and so without further ado, here we are! http://www.ponychan.net/chan/index.php?app=settingsAfter quite a bit of wrestling with unwilling lines of code, the revamped Settings page is complete! We won't be replacing the current Settings area with a link quite yet though, as there are still a few tiny details left! We want the background to be random and changing, so the first twenty appropriate pictures submitted to this thread which are similar in style to the current background will be used as random rotating images! Don't worry about it being gray or not, my CSS slave good friend Grandil has been made to graciously volunteered to give them all a gray hue. Besides that though, we have quite a bit of room left in the 'User' area, so what I need from you all is both feedback on if something should be moved from one category to another, and if you have any features you'd like to see! We're … |
 Robotv56 (Iron Sights) marked as spambotMy friend needs some help, he was marked as a spambot and can't post. He contacted a mod, was told he used a link spambots use, replied by saying he didn't, and hasn't gotten a reply back since.Can he get some help? |
 Where'd me options go? |
 Autosage iconYou should start seeing an icon in the position where the sticky and locked icons appear to indicate that a thread has been autosaged (for example, the April Fool's thread which is currently on this page). Just to note, this updates when a thread is posted to, so if e.g. a thread is put on or taken off autosage by a moderator, the change won't be visible until somepony posts in it. |
 ok so i made a thread on /oat/ to ask the people there about how they got there usernames. i stated on the op that i wanted it on /oat/ because i was asking those people. I dont know anypony in /chat/ and the two communities rarely mix. I don't care about anypony in /chat/ I care about /oat/ thats why it was there and why i stated it should stay there. this seems to mean we need to create all new rules for /oat/ so that the two communities can stay separate. as we like it. but i still want to have casual conversation without my thread being moved to the board where i dont know anypony. also im only making this post because my op was edited to say /chat/ instead of /oat/ i find this very disrespectful and i am asking for an apology from the mod who moved my thread. its this one. http://www.ponychan.net/chan/chat/res/40665520.html |
 Other Favorite Ponies?So...Is there any hope having more than just the G&PT as our favorite pony? As great as she is, I can see people wanting other ponies to choose from too. |
 There needs to be some improvements on the post-hiding feature. For one, the button for it needs to be on the top left, kinda like with MLPchan and 4chan X instead of at the bottom right. Another thing is that there needs to be a feature to hide the stubs of hidden threads. |
 No More !!BigMacHi all, As you may have noticed, I haven't been on much over the past few weeks. Things with my company are starting to heat up and we have a serious opportunity to make a success out of this, but that means that the 60 hour weeks are turning into 80 hour weeks. I love the site, but I can't swing that schedule while doing mod work at the same time. Also, the mod team deserves somepony who can be on regularly, which I can no longer commit to. This team has been awesome to work with and I am very happy with how far the site has come to get where we are today. Thanks for six great months and I will see you around as plain ol' Hawkeye. Cheers! |
 Theme derp and images not expanding correctly.I noticed that some parts of the page don't seem to be drawing correctly, at least in IE. Also, clicking on the expand link for an image doesn't do anything anymore. Did something happen? |
 Pony music on vinylI've noticed it's become sort of an issue lately.Brony music gets moved to /oat/ from /vinyl/, to the dismay of some apparently. Can I suggest to allow them on both places? Seeing how /oat/ can be slow for a long while and people already have different roots in the fandom, maybe /vinyl can get more desired results for PMVs and original pony music. Now they get moved to /oat/ sometimes where they just die off. |
 What the heck is that? |
 can't find the thread so I'm making oneI've noticed that the new [ sar] tags don't transfer caps. Watch.hey - all small hey - first letter capital hey - all caps Last edited at Sat, Apr 6th, 2013 17:50 |
Noneso this place hasn't changed much eh? any og mods still around or what |
 Excuse muah, a moment of your time denizens of /Meta/..I believe some time ago there had been a script or program developed so that a user like myself could be alerted to replies in watched threads without actually having to be on the chan. I, for the life of me, cannot remember what the name of what such a useful tool was. If any of the mods, and or my fellow users would be generous enough to take their time to show me to it or something similar,I would very much appreciate it. I'm a local role player you see, but I also have projects to work on and drawing skills to practice. It can become difficult to keep up with everything sometimes. |
 I have a question for the mods, So at my school we are on a single internet provider and one of my friends had been warned about being banned and his warning had also come up on my screen so it got me thinking, If he gets banned does that mean in turn I get banned since we are on the same network at the school? |
 Just Becausehttp://www.ponychan.net/chan/ooc/res/415582.htmlSince people decided to derail the thread and still seemed interested in talking about Sweeties behavior and handling of the situation, I decided I would make a /meta/ thread for them. Quiet frankly in my personal opinion, the whole situation was handled rather shittly on Sweeties part. I'm leaving for work after I link this. |
 Can you have an ideas board? |
 Would it be considered a misuse of moderator powers to undelete a thread that quite a few people enjoyed but was deleted by the OP just because they didnt like it? |
 The killing of shadowsHi, are the mods taking down all of the hidden boards?All of the ones I visited have had the (pending deletion) tag or have been locked.... Does anypony know? |
 Sorry if this has been addressed but there are currently more themes than fit on my screen.Unless I use a theme like Royal Guard which puts four per line. |
138173April Fool's: New mandatory site themeWe've had a theme contest recently with a number of great submissions, and were very impressed with the creativity shown by members of our community. However, as a result of adding those new themes, the themes list has now become quite long, and we started to worry about the decisions that users now have to make about using the site. The themes list seems to force you into choosing one favourite pony, in many cases, and this seemed unfair when most of us enjoy aspects of many of the characters in the show. Additionally, being faced with such a long list of options, new users might be paralysed with indecision, potentially losing valuable time while they had to try out each in turn. As we discussed how to improve the user experience and renovate the settings experience, we decided that the show itself has already shown us the way. The Mane 6 each form one element of a harmonious whole, and it is only when they come together that they can achieve greatness. The greatest … |
 Ponychan ignoring time zone settings?Just noticed this happening right now. I'm pretty sure these were working a few hours ago. |
 403 on main pageThis is probably an old issue, but when you click the ponychan (www.ponychan.net) link on google it leads to a 403 page, of course ponychan.net/chan works, perhaps there should be some redirect when you hit that page so people don't think the site is down when they click the google link |
 What can and can't be posted.Some of the folks on the moderator team may have noticed the kind of images I post in /chat/ and /gala/ as of the last few months. I've gone over the rules regarding what is appropriate to post on Ponychan and have since felt very confident that I have not been breaking any rules; and I am still confident in this based on how the rules are worded and the examples that are given. However, today I have been given a warning ban for two of my posts from one moderator, despite the fact that I regularly interact with other moderators on the team with those very same images that I have been banned over. Thankfully this was a short warning ban, but I would like to avoid this happening again in the future as I seem to be getting a mixed message from this.Therefor, I propose that some sort of consensus be made among the moderator team in regard to what kinds of images would be deemed appropriate or that you amend your rules in regards to appropriate images in order to avoid conf … |
 Greetings, Ponychan. I'd like to speak with your admin, if he has a moment. I'm a representative of the United Chans, an organization whose purpose is to better the relations between chans. Right now we consist of Equestrachan, GETchan, Lunachan, and MLPchan, and we wish for Ponychan to join us in our mission. The website for the United Chans is nearly complete, so we've been trying to get all the support we can from different chans. The website will have things such as interchan events that users of different chans can participate in, articles on each of the chans, flags and emblems, and more. Nothing is required from you, except for your admin to agree on Ponychan becoming a member. Unless, that is, you would like to do something more, then feel free. It would be wonderful if Ponychan would like a spot in our roster. How does this sound? |
 By royal decreeOF US, BECAUSE WE'M RELEVANT AND ALL...THE ADMIN KNOWN AS !!LYRA SHALL HENCEFORTH BE REFERRED TO AS !!SEXDOLL. !!BANANAPOCKET IS ALSO ACCEPTABLE. |
 I demand an explaminatation!>pic |
 What are the mods hours around here?Are there only specific hours when there are mods online? Why don't you guys assign mods to work in shifts? There seems to be prolonged deadzones when you can't get a mod's attention around here. |
 Could we get some funny functions for extra funny fun, similar to them on YL?http://meemi.info/index.php/Toiminnot I'd suggest the functions #yolo (50% chance to get a 30min. ban) and #superyolo (chance to get a 12h ban) for the e-mail field. It would add a lot of fun on all boards! |
NoneCould not find an available image server. Please try again in a few minuteWhat the subject says. "Could not find an available image server. Please try again in a few minutes." I would post a screenshot of it, but take a guess what happens. So yeah, I can't post images now. Bad thing about it is; it seems most of the other users still can. Any ideas? |
 Strange red lines?Hey, whenever I use the NM theme, I get strange red lines in the screen.anypony know whats up with that? It only happens with that particular theme. |
NoneI think we need extra image servers. Y'know...in case of when the main ones crash. |
NoneImage Servers!I can't post images with my posts, and apparently the image servers are down! Could you try and fix it? |
 Hey guys. Um...I think /chat/ needs to be able to embed videos. So...uh...can you do that? |
 File transfer failure. Please go back and try again. I'm getting this error while trying to post a .txt file in /collab/. Trying multiple times didn't seem to help. |
 502/503 errors and no ability to use the site@titleI have them all the time, mostly getting on cloudflare instead of ponychan the site is unuseable for me and few friends, yet it seems fine for a lot of people Ideas? |
 Video embeding for /gala/Hello, I'm Recettear and I have a request for the mods which moderate the site. It has come to my attention that you cannot embed videos within Ponychan. I would like it very much if you could allow us or give us the function to embed Google and YouTube videos within the /gala/ board.That is all, thank you for your consideration for my request. |
NoneIs sage broken?Why don't posts that get saged remain saged like on 4Chan? |
 Announcing my departure.Well, it's been a ride, Ponychan. From being a nopony on /collab/ to suddenly being a mod, to being thrown into a hotpot of drama, to interacting with the most fun people I've ever met, to opening up to my new family... It's been a ride! I'm both sad and joyous to announce my departure. Sad, because I have to leave behind a position that is very special to me. Joyous, because now I and the mod team can move on and make this site a better place.Times change. Ponychan is still the board that I love with all my heart. It is the place where I've found people who comforted me without question, people who I could argue with about the silliest things, or people who I could stay up to watch a cartoon with. Rest assured that the spirit of Ponychan is with me, with all of us. It is not something that can easily go away. And I have to tell you all - for everypony of us, the best has yet to come. Because no matter who you are, no matter where you come from, or … |
 Hey /meta/. So I'm trying to start up a pony site (still in development) and was wondering if somepony could tell me how many servers you guys actually use (and how much it might cost). I'm estimating I'll need several at least. Thanks!Last edited at Sat, Mar 16th, 2013 15:33 |
 It's Pi dayI demand pinkie pie to be everywhere no matter what. |
 A few quick questionsI have two general questions at the moment:1) The extendable message box on Firefox is of course very handy and practical, so I'm wondering if it would be possible to implement the same on Internet Explorer 10? I am pretty much a Firefox guy when it comes to Ponychan, but I'm planning to use IE 10 here somewhat more than I have used to. I know enough about browsers to be able to tell that it is very unlikely for it to be possible at all, but it'd be true gold if it is. 2) I'm wondering what the mods' opinion on /oat/'s new concept of clopblocking/Snipsblocking is. For those not in the know, it started as a term coined by Lee Tockar, which Top Hat found a purpose for by taking actually-explicit and fake-explicit pics and putting Snips in front of the explicit/"explicit" parts to censor it. While the breakthrough thread (>>/oat/38339818) still stands without problems; another thread yesterday that was derailed into Snipsblocking … |
 Ponychan not working properly for iPhoneAnypony have the problem where the settings menu doesn't load, nor does your form data get saved? This is an old issue, and I was hoping you guys had found a solution by now. |
 We should hide a twiface all over the ponychan boards, kinda like easter eggs. |
 Where did all the episode threads in /ep/ go?!http://www.ponychan.net/chan/ep/ |
 If i get this this i can no longer edit a post of mine? |
 This just happened when I clicked to reply to a post on chat. Here's a link to the post: http://www.ponychan.net/chan/chat/res/40605049+50.html#i40605049Last edited at Mon, Mar 11th, 2013 09:19 |
 SartalicsThere was a suggestion here a couple of weeks ago that we should support "sartalics" in order to convey sarcasm (see http://www.sartalics.com/). The thread seems to have 404'd, but we've added that to the site now: you can use the [sar] tag to convey that you're being totally sincere when you say you just love this new feature.This is, of course, just for fun - there's no requirement that sarcasm be denoted like this, nor does its use change any of our expectations around dealing with others. That said, enjoy! |
 Images no longer 404So I've only "recently" come back to Ponychan and it looks like a lot has happened since. But is it just me or have images from long ago returned from the dead? I thought they were lost forever.So, why am I posting this if there's no problem? Um, er... Nice job! |
 An index on /int/, perhaps?With a small handful of p/int/s slowly starting and pondering on somewhat of a "Extreme Renovation: /int/ Edition", I'm wondering if it would be possible and/or practical with a thread index on /int/, kind of like the ones on /gala/ and /chat/?How much energy does it take to keep an index updated, and which threads should be in the index (considering the sheer enormous amount of nationalities that has tried and failed to make sustainable threads)? Even with the Pinkie Poll results being unofficial at the time of writing, we have tried to come up with a few ideas for /int/ ourselves as well. Last edited at Thu, Mar 7th, 2013 13:00 |

 I'm in need of some explanationWhy, on a PONY website, does our music board NOT allow pony?I'm a pony musician, in that the music I make never really strays from pony. If I want critique on something, I have to go and post it on /oat/. There's nothing wrong with /oat/, but when I'm looking for professional feedback, it's not the crowd I'm looking for. So when I do the obvious thing and post it on Vinyl, it gets sent to /oat/. There's something wrong with that. Also, I've noticed that !!Lyra is admin. Whatever happened to !!Celestia?! |
 Cake?Well... I don't see one anywhere, so... Happy Birthday !!Rainbowdash!Just wanted to make sure somepony said it. |
 Suggestive shit threadSince I got endless calls to take this argument from /oat/ to here, well here it is.from here http://www.ponychan.net/chan/oat/res/38330834.html All arguments I put forward are in that thread, and I don't have time to re-write it out because I gotta go to bed now. I'll check on this thread again after work/gym tomorrow. |
 Where does the pony music go now?Um just wondering where all the pony music and pmv's are going on ponychan? Surely we're not turning our back on all the music that's made about the show, right? I didn't see any section that seems labeled for it. |
 New Ban MessagesSo, new ban messages, what would they happen to be? Updated to have message or joke bans look different from actual bans or something? Also, mods are faggots, show me what you got. (USER WAS SHOWN THE MESSAGE MESSAGE. WELL, IT'S NOT REALLY A BAN MESSAGE ANYMORE, NO "BAN" ANYWHERE.) |
 For some reason, when I post, I'm not being properly brought back to the main board page. I just get parked on an empty white screen like it gave up on loading the page.This is happening on all my browsers...halp |

 You should probably get rid of that psychopath anonymous that roams collab and mostly desktop ponies.He isn't even subtle about it. He doesn't bother to hide by getting a name and tries as hard as possible to be offensive. |
 Oi!Stop answering questions and greeting redditors and celebrating re-instated old mods and go back to making the site work properly!

 >>>/oat/38327616How is this thread about ponies? |
 Still more site lag and slownessSo it seems that the site is still commonly glitching up and lagging out at times, when trying to post.You know, the usual thing where I'll go to post, but after clicking "Reply", it'll just sit there and load for over 30 seconds, before giving a 404 error, or a "website is offline" error. And after that happens, it screws up the thread and causes it to not update correctly while viewing the thread; it only shows new posts if you view the thread from the main board page. And on top of this, in general, I'm just noticing lots of lag and long loading times when posting. More DDoS's or...? |
 Bug reportIts a bug! |
 Ponychan FlagPonychan needs a flag fellows, anypony have any ideas for one? |
 I'm going to copypaste an idea that I had in /chat/ a couple days ago, and see if anypony likes the idea.You know how whenever the mods ban somepony, they'll put "USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST" at the bottom of their post, or some sort of variant to that? Well, I was thinking that maybe they should also embed the song "Another one bites the dust" by Queen into the post where the ban message was placed. Or maybe just into the thread, I don't know.

 /all/Is there a way to add hidden boards to /all/ without defeating the point of them being hidden?Something like ... having to manually write the boards' name for it to show up, or clicking something on a hidden board to 'unlock' it |
 Is it just me or is stuff not appearing when Lunachan and efchan are selected on /all/? |
 /vinyl/All the posts in /vinyl/ are gone.Is this a permanent thing? |
 Spreadsheeting screenames & e-mailsI've been thinking about the issue regarding contacting people through the ban screen being not the best idea. My idea is I could help make a spreadsheet that is searchable, so you can find somepony by screename or by e-mail. I'm wondering what everypony thinks of this. |
 >>/pony/36545397So, should this thread be moved to /ep/ or to /arch/? |
 Consider this a test post because every time I try to reply I see to get an Invalid Thread ID error (as well as a slew of other problems with ponychan today). I'm trying to see if perhaps I can still make a new thread at the very least. |
 Small question: Spoiler should be used for disturbing content or not?Blood, gore, sexualization of ponies. Or spoiler only for screen caps of episodes? Because I got the message from Sweetie Belle, she said spoilers Only for episodes. Even that season is ended, there will be no new one in next months. Im really confused, because all time i was calm that all the blood and murdering with gore is out of my sight with the spoiler. Now its not? |
 Alright so this has been a thing that has been in my mind for a while. The rules do say under the Gorey Content section that Murder is not allowed. I have seen plenty of murder in /RP/ and people have not been banned. Yet i have seen people get banned for it. I just want to ask if this just means gory murder isn't allowed or just murder. For all i know this could be a form of bias between the mods and the roleplayer. So.. is murder allowed? |
 File Transfer FailuresHi all, mod Sweetie Belle directed me to this board to address a problem I'm having.http://www.ponychan.net/chan/themecontest/res/64.html I'm working on themes for the theme contest and I've been having a constant issue with file transfer errors whenever I try to upload a css file. The problem happens quite often and though the error page tells me to try again I could try a hundred times with repeated errors, but as soon as I remove the css file or replace it with an ordinary picture things work beautifully. Whats more every time I've managed to get it working was usually by opening the css file again and making completely superfluous changes to the file such as the location of a specific rule. I am certain without a shadow of a doubt that I am not making any noticeable changes to the file at all, just say "moving a pencil from horizontal to vertical". Nothing has changed but that somehow seems to fix my problem and the file will then upload … |
 ITT: We give mad props to mods.I know some people here aren't a big fan of the strict rules here, but I think we need to have a thread that's all about giving credit where credit is due.I mean... uhm... If that's alright with you. First off, I'd like to give an adorably oversized juicebox to !!Fluttershy, aka Moony. She's just one of those awesome mods that often gets down in the dirt with us grunts, as it were. So, mad respect. Also, I'd like to throw a big party for !!PinkiePie, aka Dragomena. Primarily for what I've capped in the thread pic, but also for a few other things that escape my memory at the moment. I'm a ditz. I'd like to also let !!ShiningArmor, aka Fenolio!X.Layton throw my wife any day. Why? He's a pretty fun-loving guy, and is somewhat like Moony in that he commonly posts with the rest of us as well. On every single Pinkie Poll, there's a reason I always want to respond to "Do you approve of the jobs the staff is doing he … |

 Hiatus Activities and Things to DoWell... With the "on-season" officially coming to a close, another hiatus is certainly inevitable. As one who has sat through both previous hiatuses, I'd impress upon the newfoals that while it's certainly not a fun nor particularly active period of time, choosing to remain on this site is fairly rewarding in and of itself.... But I digress. Now, to keep the hiatus somewhat fresh and our boards not utterly dead in the water, I think we should brainstorm things moderators and posters can collaborate on to have a bit of fun. Even if they're little ideas like recurring roll threads, or big ideas like site-wide video game tournaments, post all your hiatus ideas here. |
 Hey guys! Just have a quick and maybe unusual question that I want to see if anypony here has an answer for. Figure anypony that's familiar with how this site works and/or saving webpages might have an answer.Basically, I have a library of saved Ponychan threads. There are a few random ones, but the vast majority of them are saved serial threads that I've archiving for over a year. Anyways, I have one main question that's mostly a curiosity and a couple other little ones to go with it. Firstly, I was noticing just today that some of my saved threads have more "features" than other. Specifically, zoom on hover works on some of my threads, but not others. The option is checked in the settings and was checked and enabled when I first saved these threads... but I don't know if that really makes any difference. And yeah, I know zoom on hover is relatively new. I have threads from September that I can open and view and use zoom on hover quit … |
 Just a quick question: What is with all the site derps anyway? Is it one big issue or many smaller ones? I mean, I know that there are awesome people working tirelessly behind the scenes to fix them, but I am just curious as to the cause behind them. |
 We need the "Favorite pony" in the settings to be changed... |
 A /g/ serial thread suggestionLately I've noticed a trend in /g/ - some of the more common thread topics deal with building or upgrading gaming computers. There are a number of other posters, regs and anons, who are willing and able to help give advice on assembling, picking, upgrading gaming PCs. How about a serial thread for it?I'm not sure what to call it though. I'm thinking it needs to be somewhat catchy and nifty and have a cool/inviting OP picture because a thread like that will essentially streamline all gaming PC hardware related threads into it, it may end up becoming less appealing or kind of tedious/boring for the people doing the helping without cool visual and rhetorical aids to make it more inviting. |
 Right now, we're going through that whole "threads not loading new posts" thing.Here, though, is something I noticed happening yesterday on /pony/ and now today on /gala/. Entire threads seem to disappear from the board, leaving only a thread-shaped gap in the list. Checking the search function reveals that they're not gone, but there's no way to enter the thread from the board page. No idea what's causing it, and it's not a massive inconvenience if I have the thread's URL, but if it's possible to fix it, I'd like that. |
 Minor posting problemEvery time I post this morning, I get redirected to this screen with the URL http://www.ponychan.net/chan/board.php ... and it never redirects me elsewhere from there. My posts go through just fine, though. As you can see in the picture, I'm running Internet Explorer (yeah I know, terrible browser but it's what they use at work). I'll post a screen shot of the version info in my next post. It could just be I'm on an older version of IE if the board works fine for IE users. |
 I was wondering: Do the mods ever go off and Role Play over at /rp/? It would be a great way to get in touch with the community over there.>Pic unrelated. |
 The second Ponychan Theme Contest is now live at /themecontest/! No matter if you're a veteran or a little newbie just wanting to try their artistic side, you're welcome to participate and open up a discussion thread on the /themecontest/ board! Oh, and don't worry about overflowing the Settings menu - we'll redesign the Themes area to make sure it won't overflow out of your screen! |

 general problems with mods and rules, with possible solutionsI have shared some of these ideas with one of the mods. I was told that they don't fit the core values of the site, but I see these ideas as things that could enhance the core values of "maturity, civility, rationality, and of course ponies."PROBLEM: moderators and users have unequal understanding of the rules. This sometimes results in: >a user accidentally breaking a rule that was unclear or >a user being unfairly banned due to a mod's interpretation. SOLUTION: site administration should be responsible for clearly communicating the rules. Users need to know exactly what is and what isn't allowed, and mods need to enforce it as written. No more interpretation except by the document itself. PROBLEM: Moderators have become worshipped celebrities on this site. When one acts inappropriately, they get away with it. If complained about, other mods rush to their defense. SOLUTION: as already suggested, relieve them of the power to interpr … |
 Boards glitching up, threads not updating^Topic.Seems some boards are glitching up with a lot of threads, causing latest replies to not appear when you go into the thread, but the latest replies DO appear when you're viewing the thread from the main board page. That and, massive lag spikes and 404 errors when trying to post. Also, it makes me unable to edit my posts, for some reason. Who crammed swiss cake rolls into the disk drive this time?

NoneIP range banMy phone has a dynamic IP, and it seems that many of the IPs it cycles through are banned. It's all the same ban: for ban evasion, placed on December 6. While it is true that I once REQUESTED a ban on my home IP and then evaded it with my phone, I do not believe that it was actually me who was banned, since the original ban on my home IP was never extended. So for now, it appears the entire 174.254 range is banned and affecting other people. |
 Requesting the word foursome be filtered to "double date" immediately.That is all, thank you. |
 Explanation for downtimeAs you may have noticed, the site encountered some downtime today. This time, it doesn't have anything to do with the servers; the domain name needed to be renewed.Normally this is set to automatic renewal, but due a mix-up involving a rejected credit card, we only found out we had to do something about it around two days ago. The good news is we were able to renew it. The bad news is there was a grace period due to the change in payment, which resulted in the renewal not going through before the site went down. Needless to say, this shouldn't happen again and we'll keep closer tabs on it come next year. You may have noticed some images not coming up and that you may have trouble connecting still, at least for a little bit. This is due to DNS propagation delay. In lay-mens terms, the roadmap from your computer to ponychan has to be rewritten, and it shouldn't take more than a day for this problem to fix itself. If a day has passed and you are still … |
 Mods, are you serious?http://www.ponychan.net/chan/pony/res/36541867+50.htmlthis thread was cleared to remain on the front page of /pony/? You're better mods than this. Get this trash off the front page. |
 All dem derpsFor few last days ponychan is derping badly, freezing threads for hours, but not boardsFrom what I've seen it's an issue on every board, what's the problem and when it'll be fixed? |
 Embedding Music/VideosHello.When I try to embed videos in a thread, I'm not able to respond to it. Also, is it possible to embed music in a thread? |
 /rp threads blasted? Page 1 and onwards to page 8 on /rp looks, for me, like on the attatched screenshot.Is this an error on my side? Or is it something else? Looks like I was an idiot, made a typo and instead of hitting "edit" I manage to hit DELETE and deleted my own thread. Sorry for the inconvenience. |
NoneParanoiaEvery ten minutes I refresh this board looking for the post that will tell us all what is going down. I keep expecting to see a list of names of people that are so bad at posting that they broke the site. And I expect to see my name on it. It could happen. |
 For the record, none of the images or thumbnails anywhere on the site are loading for me. I get a no data received page when I try opening them. |
NoneThreads not refreshingFrequently I will see a new post in a thread from the front page and open the thread only to find that it loaded an old version of the thread from a few minutes ago. It doesn't fix itself until I press F5. However, pressing the refresh button on my phone doesn't do ANYthing, and some threads are permanently stuck 10 minutes in the past. I suppose I could figure out how to clear my cache or something, but the problem will likely come back anyway. |
NoneThread missing picturesHello! Thread is missing some pictures and thumbnails in /fic/: http://www.ponychan.net/chan/fic/res/50519.html Please repair if possible. Thank you! |
 Is there any remote chance that derps, posting problems and the like will stop, or at the very least, get better rather than worse sometime vaguely soon? |
 Suspicious TrackingI made a post here to see how your system worked, because I'm a paranoid linux guy. I analyzed what my broswer sent you guys with wireshark.I found the following lines: utmcsr=boards.4chan.org And: stats_referrer=http://boards.4chan.org/mlp/res/8019810 Here's the rub - I was in a different broswer session than when I had visited those boards, and I made five google searches before navigating to your site and posting. So I was not "reffered" here by those URLs. In fact, the refferer information my broswer sent was this line: Referer: http://www.ponychan.net/chan/rp/ So, are you reading my history from cookies, or something? Because your privacy policy says: When your computer connects to a website, it sends technical information about itself, such as its IP address and user-agent string, so the server knows where and how to send the response. This information is analogous to the return address on an envelope. When a post is submitted, this site sto … |
 Chat just... disappeared?The front page of /chat/ suddenly went empty on my end. I checked the other boards and the same is true for /rp/, /ooc/, and /gala/. Is anypony else getting this or am I the only one? >pic related |
 Wrong server time?Eh, even though it's one of the most minor nitpicks...it still just kinda bugs me for some reason. (And am still not entirely sure if it is only a problem on my end...?)So ever since DST ended last fall, the time stamps of posts has been an hour later than it should be...as in posts made at 10PM local time having a timestamp of 11PM. For the first few weeks, I thought that the server time was just lagging behind in coming out of Daylight Savings and would fix itself eventually, and I didnt want to adjust the time zone settings only to have to adjust it back when server time was right, but, well, that never happened. So the logical way of fixing it would be to adjust the Time Zone in the site settings to make them appear correctly, right? Only problem is that to make the timestamps display the "correct" time, I have to essentially put myself in the wrong timezone. I'm in EST, so I should be in -5 during normal time (while not observing DST, in winter, as … |
 What is considered discrimination, and what is considered an opinon?>Don't discriminate. Judge people based on what they do or say, not who they are.I feel this rule is too vague on what is considered discrimination, and what is considered opinion. I want to make sure it will be safe for people to report discrimination, without being told they are being oversensitive or they should have known that person's opinon was to be respected. There are certain groups of people who are told by society they must stay silent when it comes to being cyberbullied. Cyberbullying is the use of the Internet and related technologies to harm other people, in a deliberate, repeated, and hostile manner. When a person takes advantage of a thread or discussion to shame or humiliate somepony, they are being a cyberbully. I understand I have a bad past regarding my time here as JackiePie. I also understand I may not be able to convince you of the damage that is done when victims of cyberbullying are blamed for being a target. I understand discussing i … |

 Regarding Content Rules and Fan FictionHey guys, we over in /fic/ have been noticing for a while that the content rules for posting can get a little strict when applied to fan fiction. Could we, perhaps discuss what action can be taken on this matter? |

 Wordfilter Poll Results!Are you tired of having your muffins shuffled, my little ponies? Well, the wőrdfiltęr poll has concluded, and here are the results! The poll is now CLOSED.https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewanalytics?formkey=dE1DZTVDTDk2Qndub0lVTmFmNElub1E6MQ Our results have been scanned for duplicate votes and fraudulent votes; only one duplicate vote was deleted (a double post). We'll be following your votes to decide on which muffinshufflers to remove. The muffinshufflers that were particularly close in their keep to discard votes may be put through a second round of voting, to ensure that everything meets the community's expectations. Thanks again for your help, everypony! It was a lot of work, but i think this will be a good and happy step forward for us c: ~!!Fluttershy ♥ |
 /dis/ is disgustingI just decided to visit /dis/ after moving to my new home on /mlp/, and right off the bat I see a thread defending pedophilia and CP, and a thread discussing BDSM.Having been banned from here long ago for breaking a then-unwritten rule about references to breastfeeding (also being the guy the breastfeeding reference ban rule was targeted at), this is very confusing to me. This site claims to be SFW, but it allows CHILD PORN to be discussed and DEFENDED, while some SFW things warrant a ban. The rules here are fucked up, and you need to tell people that if they want to discuss illegal pornography or their fetishes, they need to find another place to do so. |
 Please clean up /pony/. Every special snowflake is posting their own threads about the spoiler, and how the show is ruined 5ever. There's even a mandopony thread, and a troll thread or two. |
 Why was Anonthony unbanned? It is clear from his month of angsty, anonymous rebellion last summer that he is willing to go to any lengths to cause strife and division amongst the community here as long as he can make himself look good in the process. Removing him was the single biggest boon for productivity on /meta/ since the board was first made. This board has been fantastic lately, and if you are not proactive about removing the Zekes and Ion Sturms and Anonthonys, it will once again become what it was last June before the drama-stirring crowd left. No matter what stories he has told people elsewhere about the real reason for his ban, giving in and letting him exert his influence here at home will always be far worse. Running a site shouldn't give somepony free reign to derail a board. Please reban him, if not from the whole site, then at least from /meta/.Last edited at Tue, Jan 29th, 2013 15:40 |

 Site Upgrades, Part 2Hey guys, due to previous misconceptions I made from the previous thread, I am going to start this thread over. The previous thread was about Tinyboard, this one is going to be about the site's performance as a whole.Here's a list of my more sane ideas. Feel free to criticize them or add your own. 1) Implement inline extensions. Here's why. --A) Not everywhere will you be able to use a 3rd party extension. Unlike other chans, this one is entirely SFW, and hence, users should be accounted for this. --B) Not everywhere will you want to use a 3rd party extension. --C) Not everypony has the time to lurk here enough to know about them in the first place. --D) PCX and Pony-upz aren't exactly robust at the moment, (e.g. "Floating" reply bubbles sitting halfway outside of the browser window) 2) Autonoko. 3) To discourage shitposts on /fic/, when attempting to make a new thread, I propse an alert window, reassuring the user with the message with &quo … |
 Site Archives?Around September/October last yeat, I recall that there was a gigantic DDoS attack on Ponychan that was so devastating that an archive of the site was somehow pulled up. This resulted in a set of strange zombie threads that can still be reached in some ways(finding a picture that was linked to it).My question is pretty simple: does this mean that there are still archives of Ponychan boards? If so... well, is there any possibility to see them some time? |
 Dear ponychan,Your wordfiIters are retarded and half of them don't make sense anymore. But I hardly post outside of /merch/ nowadays anyway, so carry on I guess. |
 Hey, I got unbanned for some raisin. I had like 6 more days to go. Did my appeal of "U R 1 CHEEKY KUNT M8..." actually go through? Because if so, that's awesome. If not, re-ban please. (USER WAS... WELL, SOMETHING.) |
 Watched thread list gone?Okay, so. My watched thread list is gone. I don't know whether or not this is a problem on my end because the site was reset to Colgate theme when I opened the page, also the same symptoms happened when I went to MLPchan, which might be a crazy coincidence, but I'm looking for some input as to what might be the problem. |
 can we change the faggot(s) wordfilter to "silly pony(s)" rather than pony, on /pony/?silly pony would work better, just because its two sylibles rather than one |
 Should we bring silly back to /meta/?i just had a thought. We all know /meta/ can be a super serious place sometimes, and sometimes, we get a bit more frustrated than we should at certain things. The internet gets too serious in /meta/. What if we were to bring back silly stuff to /meta/? What if, Celestia forbid, fun was allowed in /meta/ again? Wouldn't that really be a more open environment for communication anyhoof? i'm not saying we should turn /meta/ into /oat/, but those /meta/bolizers of the past know that a fun /meta/ wasn't really ever a terrible thing, was it? |
 Shit storm word filterGiven a recent tweet by Lauren Faust (https://twitter.com/Fyre_flye/status/290354348775591936), I'm thinking we should have the term "slam jam" filter to "pegasus herd" instead of "slam jam." |

I'll see if I can find something, but an answer would be nice too. |
 You seriously need to range ip ban when you actually do it.The same people keep coming to this imageboard and there is nothing stopping them, not even re-registering their accounts. Your 404 error is useless, it only keeps new people away and lets the old ones sleep in here. |

 reply linkingOk, so when you click a reply box from outside the thread, It links you to to the entire thread via Www.ponychan.net/chan/<board>/<threadnumber>.html#i<postnumber> Now, this can be annoying when it crashes tabs loading a 1000+ post thread Now, it seems like it wouldn't be too hard at all to change this to automatically go to the "last 50 posts" by simply adding a +50 to the template in the configuration file (guessing either config.php or instance-config.php...I've never used kusabaX) before the .html to make it Www.ponychan.net/chan/<board>/<threadnumber>+50.html#i<postnumber> Just a suggestion Last edited at Sun, Jan 20th, 2013 20:08 |
NonePer board favicons, take twoIt would be nice if the boards had custom favicons instead of randomly picking one every once in a while. This tiny tweak would help build character for the boards. |
 Why not have a NSFW board? Its been lacking that for a year. |
 Rules updateFollowing a discussion on the subject (>>133753), we've made some updates to the site rules:http://www.ponychan.net/chan/?p=rules The spirit of the rules hasn't changed, but we've tried to clarify a few things that weren't previously stated (e.g. our policy on linking to NSFW material), and to formalise our policy of issuing warnings for rules violations where appropriate. As always, we'd be interested to hear any further feedback you might have on how we can develop the rules to better serve the community, while protecting the friendly environment that we want to encourage here. |
 Notifier-related issueQuick question - is it possible to use Ponychan Notifier through a proxy server? I.e. I have no problems using it at my home computer, but from what I can tell, it has no proxy functionality so I can use it from work. Any ideas on workarounds or other options? |
 The need for more moderation control over all boardsDue to the recent influx of /mlp/ usersi believe mods need more control over if they can ban somepony before they post inappropriate material A recent incident on /oat/ involving the r34 comic "hoofbeats" is a good example of why mods need more control the user posting the material was warned on multiple occasions not to post the material but continued til they had posted images of sexual situations between ponies this could have been prevented if mods were allowed to ban people who show a blatant disregard for the rules this situation has happened multiple times before and should be addressed |
 Why are people who say stop using bad language considered trolls?I'm curious why it's seen as more appropriate on here to advocate that people stop being hurt by upsetting language, than to advocate people stop using upsetting language in the first place.Wouldn't it make more sense to punish those who use the negative terms, than punishing those who speak out bravely against speech that harms others?

 Permission for a threadHello, here to ask for permission to post an Applejack appreciation thread on /pony; We've gotten permission for a Twilight and a Fluttershy appreciation threads from the mods before, and Both remained on topic and actually had a *very* good amount of character discussion about what each character needed in future episodes or what made us love them.I think we can keep an AJ one on topic, and they work so much better on /pony. |
 Here's a question:How do you make your gifs move? |
 Hey all. I'm curious about why post editing is only possible on certain boards. I love the feature and I'd also love to be able to edit posts on /chat/, for example. |

 404 Errors on /rpHello /meta.For the past few days we've been having 404 errors on the /rp board. Usually in the late afternoon-till-night-late-night time, European timezone. I'm personally running on ponychanX so it's not as horrible as it would be without that addon, but still, it's quite annoying as you can't post for a longer while with those popping out. Is it something in the wire? |
 Permission questionHey, I heard that the reason the twilight sparkle appreciation thread was allowed on /pony was due to having had permission by the mods to post it there.I was wondering if I could request permission for a fluttershy appreciation thread there tonight in that same vein. The twilight appreciation thread was a great thread that both talked about twilight and allowed various regulars to chat with one another. As such, i think a fluttershy one would be great tonight as well. While its possible to do so on /oat, there was still a decent amount of /pony style discussion the topic pony, and the thread just didn't work that well on oat, being designed for /pony regs. |
 Mods overstepping rules>>/chat/40461639I'm going to bring this up again, but this isn't how things were done, this isn't how things work in the rules, and this just throws me off. There's no rule against doing something somepony can find offensive, the entire set of rules beyond gore/porn is intent, and if somepony is offended by something that wasn't an attack, it's no harm done by the poster. This is the ruling that was made when Cage wasn't banned for the "sup faggots" comment in the LBGT thread, it's something that's used as an attack, but if not actually meant to be an attack it doesn't matter how offensive somepony may find something. So I'm gonna ask this, exactly how does that count as a justified ban? Without actual malicious intent, banning for an image people find offensive is a failure on the part of the mod, while it may just be a warning it's the fact that Moony said it was in fact justified at the end, w … |
