@Eipifi All three buttons make complete sense to me and I have more control for the content I want to get. With a "slider" I would not have that. Sketchy is not a redundant category. Sometimes an image is neither sfw or nsfw, hence the third option.
"What is the purpose of having only SFW and NSFW, but not sketchy?" I think you mean the opposite?
About the categories.
Is it intended to have anime pictures in General section? Is it fine to have people pics in General secton? What about Anime section, shouldn't there be any human images?
Let's leave this work to the tag system.
Imagine I want #cars pictures. But I only want cars without girls sitting on them. Compare this two searches. Did you see the girl disappeared?
Now if you want to see zero human beeings you just write -people -men -women. If you don't want to see anime images you write -anime.
Let's use the Tag System!
Lol silverm this is actually really good. good i uploaded a picture with a women sitting on a car! will look into it.
It's already been implemented a protection against duplicates? Btw, this is an awesome work, keep on.
Great job so far, I really missed browsing through and picking high quality wallpapers like wallbase provided. Also the design is really nice, yet similar to the old site to make it look and feel familiar. Keep up the good work
@djfonta So far as I am aware there is. But sometimes some dupes will slip through.
@lachied
you don't need a keyword to look at nsfw latest or random. Just select the NSFW button and refresh the content using the refresh button at the right side
It seems I can change to a specific resolution, is there any way to click for eg. AT LEAST 1920x1080 so its shows all pics of res above that?
Beautiful work on the site guys, looks stunning, Keep it up.
As far as I know you can select multiple resolutions. Just click on all the resolutions below 1920x1080 in the drop down and refresh the content. Should at least simulate your 1920x1080 and up. But you won't get non standard resolutions.
"Is it intended to have anime pictures in General section?"
No, no it is not.
It's getting a bit crazy here now that wallbase is gone. I'm really happy to see how excited everyone is for what we're doing here! That said, do keep in mind that we're still in alpha and are still planning on starting fresh when the alpha is over! You may not want to invest a ton of time into the site just yet!
About dupe detection: We do have a system in place, but it's far from good. We'll be improving it as time goes on, so for now, we're expecting to see a ton of dupes. If you find a dupe, please report it and link to the original upload! Thanks!
@xyroryx: We already have that!
Myk61088, we are working on improving the search interface. Check out our under development page.
Also, to uploaders: Please make sure to both flag and add your uploads to the correct category. A few tags on each upload would also be great! We'll probably be looking to enforce a minimum at some point, so you should get into the habit now.
Still will not "open" any non "yellow border" photos --
photos that will not open have : arrow cursor on non-yellow border photos vs "hand" cursor on yellow border photos
open "link in new tab" is active on right click on yellow border photos vs right click "open link in new tab" is NOT active on "normal photos"
It would be better to categorize "Images where the subject is in underwear, swimwear or lingerie, but no genitals are showing." and "Images where any genitals are showing, including cupped breasts or through transparent clothing, but not cleavage." as Erotic/Hardcore Erotic or something and the "Images containing profanity, illegal drug use/references, war and death." "Non-graphic violence such as blood spatter, and all weaponry." and "Images with graphic violence." as NSFW/Violence. Because I'd like to see something like blood or war content only, no boobs or something like that. English isn’t my first language, so please excuse any mistakes.
Also it would be great to add any tag to user's blacklist just by clicking on it.
And it would be awesome to develop something like 'parent-child' tag system. So when user adds tag "Morrowind" or "Garrus Vakarian" the system also adds to the image "videogames" tag. So you just need to add to 'parent tag' (e.g. "videogames") some 'child tags' like "Vault Dweller", "Azeroth", "calibrations". Or it can be two or more 'parent tags', for example, if user picks "Darth Vader" tag the 'parent tags' will be "videogames" and "movie(s)" so user can just delete one of them if there is need to do so.
chibi I wanted to say “If we have strong tag system, let' use it (and let's get rid of the categories).”
Wallbase was made to scrape 4chan pictures. As I remember it was made with no tag system. But there were categories to indicate section of 4chan from which pic was scraped. Later on tag system was created, rendering categories unnecessary (Remember that there is still 4chan scraping, so categories is not needless).
Now as I imagine wallhaven has nothing with 4chan, it also has tags (and even basic logical operators, which is great). In conclusion I think there is no need for categories on Wallhaven. (i.e. Let's get rid of them. Let's improve tags instead!)
P.S. I really like @dwemer's thoughts on Tags impove. P.P.S. Post preview would be great. (•‿•)

Were you guys able to extract all images from Wallbase? Also, were you able to extract the tags from Wallbase?

About Tags and Categories: (This is my personal opinion, I haven't discussed it with the others)
We want to keep things simple. Consider that not every user here on wallhaven is a power user who has the nerve to think his way through a complex, multi-hierarchical tagging system. Tags will always be related to each other. But in the end it's really just about associating words with pictures so they can be searched through.
We have tag categories to make it easier to browse tags and we have the three global categories to provide users with some very basic filtering. Imo that should be more then enough. It's not a science. If we make it more complex then it needs to be it'll become even harder for inexperienced users to use tags appropriately.
The same goes for the purity setup. With just three options we're already having endless discussions about what belongs where. If we now add types of sketchyness it'll just get even worse. "I only ever want to see images that are fine tuned to my personal taste" is just not gonna happen on a site with thousands of users.
TL;DR: Making it more complex won't make it better.
So stoked you guys made this. I missed having the constant uploads, where you could check back in a few hours and there would be a whole new slew of images. Great looking site! Can't wait til the final version.
Great job guys! One thing you could adjust is when one clicks on a wallpaper it opens up as a new tab instead of directly going to the link. Anyway that's one thing I really appreciated in WallBase. #ripwallbase #thankyouwallhaven
I know you guys are not saving the tag and profiles from wallhaven but are you going to save at least some of the wall we have uploaded since the start of wallhaven? I understand up until the multi upload there have been tons of doubles but from before that or was there no way to do that?
