What does using this site for personal use mean? Can I use the pictures in this site for anything but profit?

That is pretty mush correct. You are not allowed to post links to other sites for personal gain or otherwise ask for money. This site is free and is paid for only by the advertisements and donations.

Also, we do not allow hyper-linking to specific images. Links to this site must show the whole post page including the banners.

If you save an image to post somewhere else, be aware that those images are the property of the copyright owners and must be respected as much. Gelbooru gives credit to the creators when possible but we do not allow paysite content. No one should be expected to pay for anything you see on this site even if it is posted somewhere else. The only exception so far are the game CG art that we allow on our site. Only the publishers of those games are allowed to make money from that content.

Whoops.

Should we put instructions on the front page for how to post Ugoira to Gelbooru?

Should we have a Bookmarklet for those or something?

Honestly, I'm a mod and even I don't know how this is supposed to be done.

Ugoria Is actually a series of static PNG images played as an animation with JavaScript. It loads the images from a zip file linked to in the source, so you can download that and compile the individual frames into an animated GIF/PNG like you would normally.

Where is the link to the zip file?



I don't normally do that, in fact, I've never done that.

I take it we won't be getting native support for ugoira files? (Click and done.) I didn't see it in the tracker.

In the source. As in, the HTML source code.

In the source for that page, it appears like this:
http:\/\/i3.pixiv.net\/img-zip-ugoira\/img\/2014\/12\/17\/00\/06\/04\/47594886_ugoira600x600.zip
which, when unescaped, becomes:
i3.pixiv.net/img-zip-ugoi...7594886_ugoira600x600.zip



You might not have manually done that, but that's exactly what whatever tool you've used to compile GIFs before did for you. It may have grabbed the frames from a video file, but it did pretty much exactly the same thing.



Currently our upload system only supports direct links to actual images. If you try to give it the ZIP file from the source, it won't work. If you try to right-click the image being displayed on the page and copy the link to that, it'd try to download that single individual frame. It would take a decent amount of effort to rework the upload system to support ugoira, probably borrowing code from TheDoujin's upload tool. We would also either need to convert the image into an animated GIF or PNG server-side or rework how we store images to support storing a ZIP file and add JavaScript to display it similarly to how Pixiv does. We'll need to write this code ourselves to avoid plaigarism, and the system its self might be patented, which would prevent us from using it. I'm not saying that it won't happen, but since ugoira can be compiled into animated GIF/PNG images manually, it's likely that it'll wait until after some other features are added first.

Ugoira support isn't currently planned, but if you submit a ticket on the trac, it will certainly be considered when we get to it.

Glad to be a part of this site. I will try my best to help it.

Can copyright be an obstacle in using the images in Gelbooru?

Yes. Gelbooru images are not free use. They are copyrighted by their respective artists, who you will need to contact for permission to use them. Unless you've contacted the artist or checked their website, assume that none of the images on Gelbooru may be used if copyright may be an issue.
